Cauli and turnip seedlings, garlic growth

Cauliflower seedlings, 12 days old
After a few days  away, the first of the seeds have started putting forth shoots in the paper pots. As I feared, they were quite dried out by the time I got back, but not fatally I hope. So far most of the cauliflowers have appeared, and a few of the turnips are also visible.

14-week old garlic plants


The most successful of the 2011 sowing has been the garlic - pictured here after 14 weeks in the soil. The onions are less vigorous, but still growing. The kale and cabbages are mostly holding on, but not growing very strongly, and a few have been eaten, probably by pigeons. The autumn planting of broad beans and peas appears to have perished entirely.
