Planted done

[FenBuff]

Hi all just planted some toms moneymaker and basil sweet variety seeds . In little pots ready for allotment

[rustylady]

You mean you sowed seeds? Planting is planting plants

Do you have a heated propagator, or have you put them on a windowsill indoors?

[polc1410]

Wow! Another 2 months till i can plant mine. Maybe a month if I can grow under glass... What a difference a few miles makes!

[FenBuff]

Yeah meant sowed I'm amateur don't forget haha ....

[FenBuff]

Yes I have put them in a windowsill which is 20c so quite warm ... Is this right ?

[veggiechicken]

You'll get there FenBuff - just don't say your "sewed" seeds

[Florence Fennel]

Keep them snug for a while FenBuff, the forecast is not too good!

[FenBuff]

Yeah I will one day ... Veggiechicken. Yeah they are in a warm room so it's all good

[rustylady]

Yes I have put them in a windowsill which is 20c so quite warm ... Is this right ?

Lordy, your house is warm. Mine is nowhere near that temperature. Just make sure you give them as much light as you can. It will be a long while before you can plant them outside.

[FenBuff]

Well I have the heating on in there.... Yeah I will do thanks

[WendyC]

In a warm room they will grow quickly but may get quite leggy, even by a south facing window. They will be quite big and be in quite big pots by the time they can go outside in May.

[FenBuff]

What do you suggest then? Luke

[WendyC]

Just give them as much space and light as you can. I generally sow mine first week in March indoors, even then I am risking them in a cold greenhouse when they need more light about a month later.

[FenBuff]

Ok I will do that...

To be honest I think your letting your enthusiasm run away with you. It really is a bit early even in the south west. The daylight is still very short and thats as important as the temperature. You will probably get better stronger plants by waiting at least a month. But I am forever being proved wrong.
