Is it normal to feel so protective of seedlings? Maybe my non-existent maternal instinct is reserved for plants and animals? Anyway, the sweet peas have been steadily germinating and being transferred to larger pots and taken small trips outside. Today there are only a few pots still inside under plastic bags with most of them sitting on the windowsill getting used to the new temperature. I'll bring them in if the temperature is meant to drop below 1 degree but I'm scared they will die! Several are so strong I have given them stakes because they have begun to exhibit a desire to climb by unfurling little grippers. This is a clear indication that they are almost ready to be planted so I'd best bite the bullet and start hardening them off. The ladybird poppies have also sprouted - there are so many of them and they are tiny so they won't be as easy as my dear sweet peas. Oh and I planted seeds for cat mint today and that's coming in the propagator. Lots to do at the weekend - yay!
