  • Sowing instructions

    Just occured to me, I don't really know the difference.

    Sow indoors (presumably that means in your house? - but can it mean in a cold g/h?)

    Under glass - I guess, as above (greenhouse wise).

    Someone pass the dunce hat please!

    Indoors means not open to the elements as in direct sown, so module/pot sowing either on your windowsill or in your greenhouse. You have to use your common sense on this one a bit as tomato/pepper/cucumber (and tender crops) seed will need higher temperatures which an unheated greenhouse in say January will not give. I would ask why anyone would sow them that early though.
    I tend to sow brassicas under unheated gh and all others start off indoors, moving to gh then coldframes, then lottie - over a period of time.
    Does that explain any better?!

        Good advice that. The temperature advice can help (either the sow at temp or the grow on at temp). ie for tomatoes it recommends 20-25 for germination sometimes. This means heated prop or indoors sunny windowsill. Whereas 15 would be ok in an unheated greenhouse.
