Home made transplanter

Making transplanter

Finished article

I checked and some of the paper pots with the larger seedlings have now got roots poking out of the bottom. They need to be transplanted soon, so I made a transplanter out of an unused desk-tidy. I hope I can make holes just the right size with it.

Sunday night is predicted to be cold, 2ºC, and milder weather is forecast for next week, so I will plant them out on Monday.

Growth notes: the buds on the apple tree have started to open, and the radishes planted out in bed eight are now visible. The transplanted peas are growing well, but there is as yet no sign of the directly sown carrots, peas, and spring onions.
