      Have a little furtle under the compost surface and see if there are signs of growth. But I'd do the cabbage and leek again if no sign as they'll surely have rotted? Why not germinate them indoors and then put them in the g/house?

                • Sowed white spring onions.
                  Sowed red spring onions.
                  Sowed spicy salad mix.

                  And when your back stops aching,
                  And your hands begin to harden.
                  You will find yourself a partner,
                  In the glory of the garden.
