    I have already sow tomatoes, peppers and chillies.

    Going to go on later to sow cauliflower, leeks and salad leaves.

        It's really early for tomatoes Cariann...you've been listening to VC too much ! Without lights for the toms, pepper and chillies you will run the risk of very tall leggy plants. The toms especially will become very big plants...you will need lots of windowsils.

            The only toms I've sown are Red Robin and Balconi Red which I'll be growing in the house. They're for small pots on windowsills not for the greenhouse.

            KEEFS, keep an eye on http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...7-a_92102.html for ideas - although some of them are a bit experimental

                        People are mentioning Leeks a few times for sowing.... are these the early Leek variety? Or are the seedlings quite slow to start.... last year I sowed in April and was the only seeds of mine that didn't work and I had to buy plugs. I was planning to sow next month is that suitably early enough or should I start now please?

                          Imayhow I have itchy fingers and have seed here. I've just started (today) musselburgh and lyon 2 off, says on the pack to sow jan-feb (also bedforshire champion onion) never tried these from seed before. I currently have some type of leek from bnq (bought back in Oct) in pots but they're not very fat

                            I find if I sow leeks early they bolt. I read somewhere that if they get cold they will then run to seed, and that certainly happened to most of mine last year presumably because I left them outside when we had a late frost.

                              I'm growing Dobies Autumn Mammoth2 Snowstar, which according to the packet can be planted outside in late March or inside in February. Well I'm too impatient to wait so they're growing now, having said that, in Scotland we need a head start as we don't always get a summer lol.
