Virtually overnight my broad beans have made an appearance in the deep root trainers. The broad beans were sown on the 3rd of Feb (blog posted 4th Feb) and this morning eighteen of twenty-five are showing - I'm still expecting a few more to pop up over the next few days. The variety is the dwarf broad bean 'The Sutton' and they have been inside a propagator indoors.
My leeks, 'Musselburgh' are also doing very well in the propagator, again they were sown on the 3rd February and were showing six days later. They have now developed further with an excellent germination rate. I'll give them a few more days then I will slowly acclimatise them to cooler temperatures before moving them to an unheated greenhouse to grow on.
