Winter sowing success

So! Looked at my winter-sown seeds yesterday and many have germinated. Cavolo nero, red cabbage and chicory are  all up and growing quite vigorously. The red onions have germinated but look a little weak, and the flower seeds have not eventuated, apart from the Freeth House poppies. Sweet peas are up, too, so out of ten punnets, seven have come up. Hopefully, I can keep them going on till the weather gets warmer. A few more broad bean plants are up, but these look a bit weakly.
  Nothing else much to report, the weather has been fine but cold so I have been doing lots of gardening - pruning, weeding, etc.
