The sun is shining again, but noticeably lower in the sky. The greenhouse is now in gloom until noon - at least until the leaves fall off the apple tree...
Seed sowing continues apace, encouraged by the quick germination of many seeds sown so far. The chicory is growing as fast as the brassicas.
Large sowings of Spinach Riccio d'Asti, Chard Verde da Taglio, Pak Choi Riko F1 and Komatsuna to provide, hopefully, outdoor hardy winter crops. I'm less certain if these will survive: Texel Greens, Choy Sum Tsai Hsin & Mustard Golden Streaks, but nothing ventured...
For the staging in the winter Greenhouse: Clary Sage, Chervil and Poached Egg (Sunny Side Up) plants.

On my lotty site we're coming to the conclusion that these oriental leaves do better in colder conditions, having seen most of them bolt when sown following recommended times. I grew komatsuna late last year and it went through the winter unscathed.
