Which? What? & When ?

I was reading that one can sow Red Baron now on a window cill ... then prick them out ... is this worth it?

Yes, why not? But make sure you have enough room on lottie for them, cos last year, wot with all the sets I was growing, I didn't have any space left One tray makes a lot of onion plantlets

they say they're less likely to bolt if sown now, or was that celeriac

Medwyn wotizface sows his onions on Christmas Day and he knows a thing or two about veg. I'm sowing some Kelsae seed given to me by a guy in our lotty shed. I wanted to do it today but the greenhouse is leaking like a colander Maybe tomorrow

so what have you actually got on the go so far Wards?

You could always grow 'em as multi blocks - put about 6 seeds per module then plant the whole lot out and they grow as a clump a bit like shallots

Only sweetpeas but plan to do tomorrow, if I can get in the greenhouse without me pac a mac to sow Kelsae onions and celeriac. I think it's a good idea if you have a sunny window sill to sow (and grow on) chillis, peppers and [color=violet]aubs[/color] early cos they need a long growing season

Apparently celeriac sown early without heat is fine. The lady in KG says they are really cold hardy but you could cover the tray with a layer of bubble wrap if needs be

You can also sow now under cloches or sommat carrot Amsterdam Forcing. All Year Round [color=green]cauli [/color]and Hispi cabbages can be sown in a cold greenhouse or frame for planting out when the weather allows.

I'm gonna sow my onions once I've got a roof on me greenhouse - bet mine leaks more than yours Watson

Hey Penny, take heart, I've got a base and a newly cleaned frame and new fixings etc. Just have to introduce them all now, but it keeps raining or is 1C and blowing a gale

T'other morning the two halves of my coldframe lid were about 10 feet from the coldframe, despite being weighed down with fence-post size wood and various aluminium lengths (see above ). Fixed em back on and weighed them down a bit more and so far they've stayed.

Tis OK Loops I went and bought some more glass today so I can finish the roof tomorrow (weather permitting )
