Well surely you will get at least one prize out of that 6 entries.

Just sowed some seeds of Lettuce and SilverBeet,
in my new little hothouse/greenhouse i have growing some more Broccoli, Cauliflower, Parsley (best fresh isnt it?) some Lemon balm, Beet Root and spring Onions (shallots)
i am going to be doing some Research on this Lemon Balm, i have never heard of it but dad has seeds from it in the shed.

Since the Lemon Balm needs 21.11111c to germinate it would get around that temp in a little hot house wouldn’t it?
