By 31st May, my little seedlings were ready to thin out and transplant. Actually, they were ready several days earlier, but building work at home and keeping the kids amused for half-term prevented me from dealing with them sooner. They were almost lifting the lid off the propagator tray.

| Almost peeping out of the top of the propagator. |
You can see which side was facing out of the greenhouse towards the sun! There are plenty of sturdy stems in there ready to transplant. The tray planted by Number 2 Son had caught up and possibly surpassed the tray I planted.
 |
| More than ready to transplant! |
Playgroup were planting Lobelia and Marigolds last week and I asked if I could have their old plant trays for the next stage of Teloxys planting, further cementing my miserly credentials.
 |
| One or two plants per section. |
The Teloxys looks rather droopy at the moment but should recover after a day or two.
 | |
| Hopefully they'll perk up in a few days. |
After extracting the strongest looking plants, I kept the rest in their propagators. I'll see how they do, they might be OK as spares just in case I manage to kill the ones I transplanted.
 |
| I'll leave the rest to see how it grows. |
Because I had so many plants left, I dug out an extra planter for a few more.
 |
| Room for another 14 plants in this one. |
I'll leave these to grow on for a couple of weeks and then see if they look ready for putting in the flower border.
