Seeds of happiness

My leeks and onions have sprung and are not dead as I feared last week. My runner beans continue to live up to their name and will need to be planted into bigger pots shortly. All the others - kale, lettuce, peas, broadbeans, spinach and herbs are growing to plan. Once this cold spell passes, I'll start planting them out and begin again with a new batch of seeds. 
My seed potatoes have arrived. They are currently in egg cartons in my utility room and getting ready sprout. Once the sprouts appear, they'll be ready for planting in my fresh cultivated soil!
