I have ordered and awaiting my little gem lettuce, and tomato seeds from T&M. So a little behind compared with your sowing. Looks good.
Hi ktlawson and thanks for your reply, there is still plenty of time yet for your's to grow, I'm just trying to see how early I can get this crop, i will ahve to see how things go, regards Steve.
Hi steve, i liked your leek video, How do you start them off though, in seed trays? and what after that? regards sarah.
Hi Sarah and thanks for your reply, the Leeks that I used in my Leek Video were my main crop Leeks which I am due to sow this week, I have a couple of raised beds in my garden at home that I use as seed beds and this is where I will be sowing them this week at a depth of 1/2" and thinly in the drill. Then I just leave them to grow until they reach the thickness of a pencil which is usually in June sometime weather permitting and then I transplant them into my raised beds at my allotments as shown in the video, if you happen to sow them too thickly in the seedbed/spare piece of ground that you may have then you can thin them out which will help them reach the pencil thickness stage quicker, regards Steve.
mine are in trays, they dont get that big growing them like that!!, ill do them in the garden next time ,thanks alot for your advice.
