Hello from sunny skewen

[cotters1]

Hi there all

I have been browsing the web tonight looking for general info on tips and gardening info and fell upon this site that seems to tick all the boxes that i will be needing.

Never attempted gyo before and although really keen to try it all at once I know im being unrealistic and unless get help will fail miserably!

I have sowed some courgettes, peppers, chillis, toms and spinich all on sunny windowsills covered at moment, looking to do broccoli, carrots and salad leaves but at present no greenhouse, we are working on our garden this spring and i have requested room for my greenhouse for future use before other half plans all the landscape.
I do have a four tiered covered plastic covered temp one in garden just waiting to be filled.....

I only put seeds in this morning and keep checking them like a baby already cant help myself!

Anyway, hopefully you can all help me with my daft questions over coming weeks!

cheers

Welcome to the 'Vine Cotters1 Don't worry, we all watch for our seeds germinating from the moment of planting, it's quite 'normal'
You should be able to do carrots outdoors fairly soon, if not now, where you are. Will you be doing them in the ground or in a pot? I've sown a potful & they spend the daytime outside & the night in my porch, they seem happy enough

Hi cotters, you will definatly fit in here, checking your seeds an hour after planting is as sarah said "normal" for us! lol.
I dont know where skewen is but Im only over 't pennines from starwix so I'm guessing your similar to me, I have in my very well held down with bricks and ties plastic 4 tier greenhouse at the mo, peas peppers courgettes toms and chillis (chillis during the day only)
your salad leafs you should just plant outside now, they can stand a bit of chill, cut and come again ones are brill, you could also do your "spring or salad" onions outside now and radish.
carrots for me went outside last week and are looking sunward already.
good luck!

thanks for replying, see I have learnt something new already looking forward to getting the carrorts in now then I was worried i shouldnt be putting anything outside yet. :-)
Unfortunatly out for the day now so will get onto it tommorow after work. I will be doing carrotts in the pots so will bring them in then next few weeks still at night.

Thanks for info
