sowed First in the field and Harbinger today / shades x

being as Ive just aquired another greenhouse I have started some toms early. Of course Ive gotta grow shirley but then they are nice eh!. I'm also growing some Gigante LIscio that I got from Real Seeds. Will let you know how thy go. I must say that the seeds sewn so far from them have had a good germination rate.

Hi Shirlton, you know credit due and all that......I have to agree with you, I have noticed in the past couple of weeks the germination rate is very good,if fact I don't think anything I have sown from them so far has missed one seed, I record how many I sow and they have been exceptional.  I have sown  several differnt squash, 3  tomatoes,  and  peppers and not one miss.Well Done Real Seeds X Jeannine

Hi Shirlton,

Is your GH heated?

Barnowl

No were pensioners lmao, Do start them off on a windowsill witha radiator underneath. But as soon as they are through we put them in the cold Gh. We do fleece if a frost is forecast

Must be around 300 and probably 20+ varieties.

I like to have some ready for when the keen `growers but not sowers` want to buy.

I`m a bit like Tee Gee when it comes to ones for me though-all the space in two houses and a polytunnel gets taken up with plants for sale-not only toms but peppers,cus,aubies and melons etc.

One day I  will come to my senses cos I seldom do much more than make £200-300 a year profit but it funds my habit.

Wrong!!  Stephan & a couple of others are the experts.

Tim-how kind of you. I would not call myself an expert grower by any means-I might have grown and tasted a few more varieties than a few other members though.

And the reason you sow/plant a bit later than some folk is due to;

1-With middle age comes wisdom

2-The atmosphere is thin at 650ft.

Only a friend is allowed to tease?
