Hi Joanne

I do have a heater it is a propane heater set to 4 degrees just to keep the frost out.

The aubergine plants were all started indoors under grow lights in the middle of february, the other stuff was started a few weeks ago indoors in the propagators.

Far to much. Can't move for young plants, Toms, Peppers and Cue's. As for the young plants. Great to grow, but finding where to plant them could prove a problem.
That will teach me to grow too much.

Mine is 10 x 8 and heaving with seeds sown in the last three weeks. Thankfully I have a window ledge so modules are lining those and the potting tables, floor and half shelf. I will have to move stuff out to the polytunnel soon to make way for potting on alot of stuff.

Temperature now about 9 degrees at night, so getting better, but nothing as advanced as the rest of you.

The 8'x6' greenhouse at home in the back yard is stuffed full of seedlings, and as of today the 10' x 8' on plot 1 is now fully planted with 10 tomato plants, 2 aubergines, 2 cucumbers, 6 chillies and 8 peppers, along with some catchcrop lettuces (8) and some french marigolds (to deter one of the pests)! At the moment the plants in there look very well spaced, but I'm sure as they start to grow that it'll start to look just as crowded as it did last year!
