Default Seedling Picture Reference

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

OK I'll start although I'm sure others have better examples than mine !

Yellow onion (Dorata di Parma) seedlings at 34 days old.
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

Default Some seedling picture from this year

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

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.

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