Transplanting greens

My nemesis is transplanting. I sow the plants, I thin the plants. They grow well and then I don't transplant in time! They become root bound, with overlong leaves, and suffer in their modules or small pots! However, over the weekend, I did manage to transplant some lettuces, some pak choi, some endive.

The greenhouse is yielding some nice thinnings of greens, some nice plum tomatoes and some chillis.

Winter planting

I think that the best thing about a greenhouse is that I can try growing winter salads.

Planted on Friday 3rd Sep 2010, with Roisin as a little helper :-)

• Corn Salad Louviers (5 small pots)
• Endive Pancalieri (6 modules)
• Endive Cornet de Bordeaux (6 modules)
• Lettuce Winter Density (4 small pots)
• Clatonia Winter Purslane (15 modules)
• Pak Choi Red (15 modules)

Last week, 30 August, I cut open a bag of multipurpose compost and sowed three broad rows:

• Spinach Campania
• Lettuce Little Gem
• Rocket

Also, I sowed four pots of broad leaf parsley and Lettuce Butterhead Winter Wonder in modules. These have already germinated and are coming up well.
