Put some in at the end of February, under fleece.  Now warming up the soil with a tarpaulin, ready to put some more in next week (as long as it doesn't snow - very cold this afternoon!).

Going to put some firsts in this weekend.  Onions are waiting until after the 21st - the over wintering ones will keep me going if they ever decide to grow.

We put some in a tub in the greenhouse yesterday, but the outside crop won't go in for a while yet.
