Grow Your Own Magazine

To help those new to growing please post your pictures of seedlings in this thread. It would help if there wasn't too much chat on the thread so that it becomes a reference rather than a chat thread.

Thanks

Sweet Peas (Old Fashioned Mix) seedlings at 34 days old.

All sown in modules on 24th January in ordinary garden centre compost and kept in an unheated greenhouse.

Chris, they look like they're in a dollop of spinach growing out of scoops of coffee ice-cream!

Thats the only problem when using rock wool for planting seeds they get some form of algea on them, the coffee ice cream is clay pellets havent tasted them so cant say how they compare flavour wise though

Here are some Swede seedlings that are in need of thinning.

Its only a chilli if it burns your mouth

Hi everyone,
thought I'd share my seedling photo's with you.
In order they should be courgettes, runner / french beans, (not sure which yet the snails ate the labels), cabbage, beetroot, brussel sprouts.

Cheers

Look like some kind of brassica (sp?) perhaps cauliflower.

Definitely a brassica but wouldn't like to hazard a guess at which one.

I think the beans that you are unsure of are French Beans as opposed to Runner Beans.

cheers for that, got both growing so wasn't sure

does broccoli come under the brassica family?

They certainly do. Difficult to tell exactly what they are but they could easily be broccoli seedlings.
