Winter Sowing
« on: October 02, 2006, 21:46:57 »
Hey,

I want to try and get some stuff to flower early. My greenhouse should be arriving at the end of the month. I'm wondering if i keep the seedlings heated at the right temperature and give them the right light levels can i germinate seedlings out of recommended sowing times?

the only reason i'm asking this is because i started really late this year....and all the bi-annual stuff and the second year flowering plants haven't been sown except for just a couple of things.

Exhibitors often start things like leeks and tomatoes, sweet peas and so on in December /January... I'd leave it until early March for most things Wahaj.

I'm still throwing hollyhock and foxglove seed around wahaj - autumns are longer nowadays, so early oct for the outdoors ones still gives them a chance to get going imo ::)
