Temporary measures

While the broccoli keeps sprouting away happily I can't plant the extra banana shallots I bought. Thankfully a fellow gardening enthusiast, Maximo, suggested I start them off in pots. A genius idea!

They are all now planted in degradable peat pots along with the tomato seedlings which I planted up to the first set of leaves. Tomatoes can grow extra roots from their stem so transplanting them like this allows them to develop a stronger base.

They are all outside at the moment as the glorious heat is with us for one more day. But I will have to pop them in the cold frame as the weather returns to normal levels tonight.
