Took the photos this morning so I now have numb hands.

The first tray has just the one ( bottom left) not showing growth.

The second tray ( under the staging) has 100% growth. I have a reflector ( Mylar mounted on cardboard) to throw the light back at these.

Not bad considering I bought 10ish bulbils and still have plenty left (somewhere)

Cold greenhouse and they started growth at the coldest time.

A dozen pots went to my Daughter-in law to put in her allotment. Six pots travelled to Scotland and came back again as the proposed recipient was unavailable so all I had left were languishing in 3½" pots. Permission was given to fill a tub with them as we couldn't decide where they were going in the garden. They're a bit close together but I can water and feed them easily. Note that most have had a little support added as they don't seem to like the wind.

I hope they enjoyed their summer break and are refreshed and ready to go.
