unheated but well insulated greenhouse at the allotment is next, then the marmande are destined for the outdoor life! all the whippersnapper are destined for baskets and windowboxes, I'll give progress reports!

Post by: tim on April 28, 2008, 19:21:49: Feed back? Yes please!! Not just from you but, as said last year, did all these earlies survive - & where? - & do better than the norm - in what??

We all want to know how currently precocious plants outstrip our 3" ones. And if you're in the Channel Islands!!

Very good idea TIM it would be intresting to se how we do in various parts of the country
I live in the North East and right on the coast

These were set away at the begining of March in a heated propergator. Pricked out at about 1" high into 4" square pots into potting compost then put into the tubs yesterday. No feed at all. They are in my own mixture of manure and grow bag.

Post by: calendula on April 29, 2008, 17:58:22: ooh heck, I've only just sown mine and in an unheated g/h at that :(

I'm in Saddleworth (W. Yorks) - still wet and quite cold and windy, night temps a bit dodgy as well but I don't think I'm doing anything different this year from previous years
