Cover with a fleece Charlie, or large plastic bottles or anything you can think of to keep the soil warm, the warmer it is the quicker they'll grow. ;)

On Saturday 19th February (in the pouring rain) I planted one Swift in a big pot of old compost, then placed it inside a black dustbin on top of an upturned pot, and put the lid on.

I stood the dustbin in the corner of the most sheltered part of my back garden, and forgot to check it till yesterday. I dug around carefully. The shoots are still green and look a little bit bigger, so I put the lid back on. When the weather is better I will take the lid off.

As the compost is only general purpose I am planning to feed once it is up and growing.
