Spring moving at last

Spring has finally put in an appearance, we are seeing signs of growth everywhere. Last week we got all our leeks sown in the frames and the previously sown chard and spinach have been put in the tunnel to harden off prior to planting.

The new growing room with blue spectrum economy lights is starting to pay its way, already we've produced transplants of onions, leeks, lettuce, beetroot, chard and celery. Most of the transplants are spending 2 or 3 weeks under the lights the exception being the more delicate species aubergine, peppers and tomatoes which are developing well under the artificial conditions and will be there at least until May.
