Seedlings are appearing

Yes, not only some tomatoes & peppers but also some flower seeds have started to produce tiny seedlings.

The score so far is:

In the greenhouse

Broad beans – At least 14 shoots appeared, still a few more will possibly appear. If so then there will be enough to fill the bed.
Some of the salad leaves in a large pot are also appearing.
Some Cosmos seedlings

Sowing

I also had a sowing frenzy yesterday. Planting a bunch of vegetable and flower seeds, in particular:

Cornichon ‘Vert de Paris’
Cucumber ‘Iwa’
Mangetout ‘Baika’

Sunflower ‘Ruby Red’
Sunflower ‘Velvet Queen’
Rudbeckia ‘Rustic Dwarf’
Nemesia ‘National Ensign’

Most of them in the propagators.

Wildlife

Not had chance to go through the trail cams recently but on the lawn the blackbirds seem to trying to sort out territories and some dunnocks I’ve seen close to the lounge window look as if are becoming very amorous.

Not a huge takeup of food on the bird feeders but the mealworms are still being eaten.

I’ve seen one or two queen bumblebees looking for somewhere to nest and I was a couple of bee-flies over the lawn as well, a sure sign of spring.
