    Well done nut!

    I potted up loads of seedlings today, but haven't taken photos yet. Took photos of the plug plants I potted up a few days ago.

     

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Looks good there B-L

    Is that insulation on the GH or shading? In spite of louvres at the bottom and vents at the top, it gets very hot in mine.

    It's rather elderly polycarbonate and dirt has got inside the air holes. There is some elderly bubble wrap hanging on the wall too. But it does help to shade a bit. It's raining as well. It can get very hot when the sun shines though. 2 roof windows and one door.

    I shall have to shade I think, something a bit more attractive than the old sheet I used last yearimage

    I don't like that white paint shading much, I like something I can take down easily in a cloudy week

    No pic but I had an exciting germination today. A single paeony seed, given to me two and a half years ago, has germinated.

    It's a white herbaceous one

    I think the one you gave me has popped up as wellimage

    wow lots of very "professional" looking set ups here!

    i dont seem to have a huge amount of success with seeds, they always end up all spindly etc

    That's often too much warm and not enough light hefty
