Overwintering Update

2 weeks ago we started sowings for overwintering. The results so far are:
Garlic - shoots are now 2 inches tall
Carrots (Early Nantes) - seedlings are now 1 inch tall

The seeds we sowed in the cells have sprouted, but we used home made compost which turned out to have some sort of weed seeds in it. Luckily these weeds are easily identified with the Cauliflower and cabbage, but we're not sure if the Strawberries have sprouted yet.
Lettuce (Winter Gem) - some have sprouted, maybe to half an inch or so
Cauliflower (All Year Round) - seedlings are coming on well, most are between 1 and 2 inches tall
Cabbage (Durham Early) - about 8 out of the 12 have sprouted to about 1 inch tall
Cabbage (Winter Jewel) - all 12 have sprouted well, looking healthy
Strawberry (Sarian) - some green growth, not sure if weeds or strawberries - will have to wait longer ....
