Looking good there girl!! Tis true, you are very lucky, but you're just the right person cos you'll make good use of it

I got a heated prop after all and put in half trays each of toms and my chilli seeds on Sunday - already there's one seedling up 1" and two others just showing. Unfortunately I had a blonde moment and forgot to label the trays but the seeds that've sprouted are in different trays so I've got at leat one chilli

Not sure about the seeds I planted in the GH on Monday - I copied you from an earlier post and put my mini GH in there, all zipped up, but it's been blimmin freezing here the last two nights

Looking good Wards! Tell me where do you get the giffy pots ?? What is a good price for them ??

I got the fibre pots from Wilko and they're cheap as chips

The Jiffy 7's which are the flat pellets which you soak in water I got from Two Wests in Chesterfield (mail order) along with some Root Riot cubes cos I couldn't find them in the shops

You might have more luck in shops near you Flo but here in the backwaters we're a bit limited

I put dahlia seedlings in the Jiffy 7's and pansy seedlings in the Root Riot cubes and all seems well, although I have to say they are a right fiddle

stuck indoors cos of the weather

yeah so doing nowt I can count on the fingers of two hands all the jobs I aint done

snap

Amazing how much paperwork you can get through when there's no internet

Like the idea of Jiffy 7's ... what size do they swell up to ???

er only little. About 1.5" ish x about 2" high. My dahliah are doing wonderfully well in them

Sounds just what I need ... will have to go look in at the nursery across the road

Despite the Had a good afternoon in the g/h .... got bl***y cold feet for the privilege though!

... carrots and spring onions in the trough; beetroot Detroit 6, 9* perenial and summer broccoli, perpetual spinach and snowball caulis into modules;

... then into tubs for the airing cupboard .... red, golden and green peppers (thank you ladies ) aji and hot lemon chillies (thank you gents ) two types aubergine Diamond and Gandia; and some tiger toms.

Think I'm getting the hang of 'early spring' !!!

you can get peat-free jiffy 7s now

moonbells

Have you tried em MB I'll look out for those next time

So cold and windy here I'm keeping in the warm. Went out to the greenhouse to re-light the heater. I think the gale under the door has sommat to do with it blowing out. Gale round the door too. Note to self to get some draught excluder

Sown celeriac, more leeks and 4 types of lettuces this afternoon All in gh except the celeriac ...which is a bit of a prima donna if you ask me And I know no-one has
Oh and got some coriander going, too

Spent the morning digging and weeding out t'back and pulled the last parsnips which are 12" long White Gem I think they are called, so I'll deffo get more for the lotty.... which is about 1/5 dug over where I want to put in potatoes and some fruit bushes. Peeps round me have got earlies and onion sets in, so I'm feeling I ought to get a move on!

Chillis and tom seedlings looking good so that's my job for the weekend - potting on and sowing more seeds.

Oooh White Gem are the ones on offer with KG magazine

grown em before and they're good uns

I agree about celeriac Dom. Right pain in the arse. Having said that I have about six plants which are looking quite promising. Not sure how I managed to get six good sized uns and the rest of miniscule

Magaged to buy some loose jiffy's from across the road ... great price got 200 to start with might go back for the rest of the box!!

And some brilliant herbs only 1.25 each and already fat and healthy

I got home just before 2, so took a mug of tea out to the GH and repotted my solitary cucumber baby, sowed sweetpeas and flat-leaf parsley (ta muchly Wards) pricked out aubs and garlic chives and then raked over the outside bed and sowed red&green salad mix and some radishes. Didn't get sunburnt neither

my forehead and nose are bright red. I look a right pillock

I hunted high and low for the after sun. Just applied some and feel a bit cooler
