Growing herbs from seed.

 

A slug's-eye view of herbs seedlings growing in the polytunnel.

The polytunnel is groaning under the sheer number of seedlings started under cover. We sowed herbs which are nearly ready to pot on. We'll be able to bring them into the house in small pots as required.

DIY simple seedling watering carton

I found several versions of this idea on the web. Pierce a milk carton top with a hot needle or fine drill and use to water seedlings which tend to get washed out by watering cans. Ideally you should water from below but it's not always possible and this idea will provide a gentle shower for your new plants.
