First signs of garlic and land cress

Cabbage

Broad bean
After a few days away, I came home to find that the land cress has appeared, there are two rows of tiny seedlings in that bed. One of the garlic cloves has started showing a green tip, but a couple of the onions have had growing tips knocked off by some passing animal. Off to the garden centre for some land-mines tomorrow, then.

Some of the cabbages are now growing true leaves. (The first leaves of many plants do not have the characteristic shape of that species, and true leaves appear a bit later.) The broad beans seem to be doing well, with some good-sized leaves, and the peas are also coming on nicely.
