Most of the Seeds that I had sown late last month and earlier this month have now germinated and are growing on well.
The picture below are the Tomato 'Gardeners Delight' and 'Moneymaker' seedlings.
The other plants that will be going into my greenhouse along with the Tomato plants are the sweet peppers 'Sweet California Wonder'. The germinated seeds are shown below.

I have also decided to try Gherkins 'Parisian Pickling' outdoors this year as they turn into huge plants and I may not have enough room for them in the greenhouse. I will also try one in the greenhouse and attempt to support them vertically to give a bit more space. I planted 4 seeds into DIY paper pots and so far 2 of the seeds have germinated.

For outdoors I have Onion 'New Holland Blood Red Redmate' plants. I had sown 60 seeds and 55 have germinated. That will be plenty for me.
I also have leeks for outdoors. I love leeks sliced up, put onto a baking tray covered with grated cheese and a bit of paprika and then put under the grill for about 5 minutes. Absolutely delicious !!
For my flower pots, I have started off my dahlias (Dahlia 'Star Elite') so that I can take a few cuttings from them to increase my stock. I have left a bit later than normal but should hopefully still have enough time. The tubers have just put on a few growths in the last few days.
