Germination

I am experimenting this year with a new medium for propagating seeds.  The seeds are dropped into these little peat free pellets, which are hydrated in water before being used.  I have been testing them out this week before I start using them with the children, and am more than happy with them.
This is a tiny tomato seedling which will eventually go into the work poly tunnel.
I have had a nice day so far and have walked to Craiglockhart Pond where the swans have started on their nest, and I think have already laid eggs.  Then we went to Bridgend Farm House for their first Birthday party, it was a real community event.  We ran back from here as we are training for a running event which has somehow crept up on us......
