gardening info catch up

In this particular post I'm playing catch up with a particular veg or is it a fruit,I've sown these seeds into compost held in paper pots, I've been using paper pots since me and Gandalf were at school together, always water them from the bottom letting the paper soak up the water. Will these seeds catch up wait and see( have a little faith baby) and the variety of these seeds well that would be telling. You can see the pot maker in the tray,best newspaper to use is recycled Garden News naturally.

gardening info- progression

The raised bed has progressed a little with the planting of leeks,shallots,cream marigolds,and the sowing of radish, lettuce seeds,a bit of space left for a couple of tomato plants me thinks. All these veggi/flowery stuff growing in recycled compost with comfrey leaves added to it.
