I have planted some seeds with the class I’m currently doing supply teaching with. Bit of a risk (;)) because I don’t know if I will still be there next term. Might plant some more at home too.

Velociraptor
I can see one little shoot poking out from my soggy egg box of compost It probably helps that eL Bee! got fed up being freezing and put the central heating back on, and there's a radiator under the windowsill.
I'll start off my other packet of seeds this weekend. Tempted to try planting some seeds directly outside, because I have a vacant pot after pulling up some tulips that are too exhausted to flower any more, but I'm not confident enough that we won't get another frost.

Wine Legs
Most of my planted ones have been eaten by slugs, despite the generous sprinkling of slug pellets. *sigh* it all started so well...

WL I protect my seedlings with a ring of copper tape (Wilko or Poundland) around a plastic (:-o) tube (e.g. 2 litre bottle with top & bottom removed). I've made quite a few of these to protect sunflowers, tomatoes, clematis shoots - it's not 100% mollusc-proof but it does help. I also use nematodes each spring to decimate the young slug population developing underground.
Mine are a mixed bunch right now but time to get them in large pots which will be their final home; the obvious place for them in the ground is about to get reworked and won't be ready for another month or so.

Just been to inspect the troops. I have:
three tiddlers still in pots (but outside) two in a massive pot, sitting by the washing line post, hopefully destined to grow up it. two in the ground near the shed, ditto two in Bedford, still in a pot, but needing more room soon. three over at The Boy's mums house in a pot on the windowsill (the only ones still indoors, and perhaps the biggest and hairiest as a result)

Mine are still inside but looking stronger. I might move the pots outside this weekend.

Elsie - not too quick. Bring them in overnight for a while. Let em get used to being outside and harden up a bit before kicking them out
Haven't touched mine this week. But they'll get potted on this weekend
