Tomatoes, Aubergine and Sweet Peppers Week 5

Top: Gardener's Delight Cherry Tomato Plants
Bottom: Left & Right: Traffic Lights Sweet Peppers
Centre: Aubergine Black Beauty

Ok, so here is a quick update on these plants, I started them early in February as I simply couldn't wait to sow some seeds!  Next year, I think I may start them off mid March, giving them 6-8 weeks of growing before our last frost date which is early to mid May.

Anyway, I have been growing these under lights since germination, they have had a great start, been fed the chamomile and seaweed tea plus a weak solution of all purpose organic liquid fertiliser once a week.  This week, my instincts told me they need to be in natural light now, OK its still only March and so the window sill light is not too strong, but the temps seem to be OK for them.

So all being well,  here they will stay until I start to harden them off mid April and after that they will be ready to be put in their final containers and go outside into the mini greenhouse until harvest time...I can't wait!!!!!
