Hi All, in the gardening books and on TV they say its about time to start growing seeds for an early crop (in the south where i live --wiltshire) my questions are, how do you all start this process, in a propagator, GH, harden plants off in a coldframe then transplant out into growing areas, or sow seed into soil with plastic cover over them and leave, or do you all wait untill march /april then sow seeds.
windy ::)
I´m getting a really early start here in Spain! keeping the green house above 10 degrees at night (I´m in the mountains! v cold at night!) its full of germinating seedlings! my first pepper germinated this morning!! I use big trays and plant the seeds in yoghurt pots, water from underneath and sprinkle cinnamon on the surface to prevent damping off, I suppose you could do the same thing indoors, you dont really need a greenouse. I´ll try and take some pics ......
Unless you have a heated green house which can be kept at a constant 65 degrees C then don't sow yet. I don't sow anything these days until after the spring equinox (March 21) ie when the days become longer than the nights.
You could try looking in here for your 'start up' times.
