Despite (or possibly because of) her mongrel background EJ's dead right (IMO)

I've given up planting most things direct and use modules or pots (in a frost free greenhouse) to start things off. This gets round:

Conditions being too wet/dry/cold/hot

Fighting off slugs/birds

Sorts out the spacing

Doesn't waste seed

And, at this time of year, brings things on a treat so you can either have an earlier crop or make up for lost time

Sparky:
Nice one, should i have done that with my onion sets then as well?  Will it work ok if i put them on my windowsills as i don't have a greenhouse

Sparky

philcooper:
You can do your onions the same way, but as they don't normally go out until later (Marchish), there is not so much urgency. But the extra growing season is all to the good.

Windowsill is ok - provided other occupants of household appreciate that windowsills were invented to raise plants on
