Day 9 - What To Do With Them All?

Day 9, and the first real problem is upon us. I now have signs of life in almost all of my 10 trays. Unfortunately, each pot contains two varieties. Therefore, it is possible that one variety has germinated and requires light to grow, whilst the variety has not germinated and still needs dark, warm conditions to do so. I should point out that this problem was, indeed, anticipated. My thinking prior to sowing was that last year I successfully grew seedlings using only one tray. Having ten trays must still be some progress. Perhaps something to think about next year! My short term solution is to put the trays on the window sill during the day and above the boiler at night.

No new seedlings have appeared today, but those which only began to emerge yesterday, have now grown into strong little plants. I keep watering and hope that the other varieties come through soon.
