who's planning to start soon

[Alison]

Have sweet peppers, chillies, aubergines and a couple of mini tomatoes (the main batch won't go in until March) pretty much all through now and on a warm window ledge with heat underneath. A few haven't come through yet and are with some alpine strawberry plants in a heated propogator. Also put some banana seeds in the other day as an experiment for the garden. In the conservatory are onion seeds (Up to Date, now through), Norli mange tout, Pilot peas, Snowball cauliflowers (for growing on in polytunnel), Greyhound cabbage (also for polytunnel), Poppet peas, sweet peas and garlic and shallots in the unheated greenhouse.

Got my seeds last week in the UK- about half the price of over here.
So - I'm hoping by this weekend I'll have unpacked enough boxes to make me feel not guilty about spending a couple of hours with seed trays....exciting isn't it?????

I made a start yesterday with Chillis, toms, peppers, and aubergines in my new propagator, then I've got some potatoes chitting upstairs they didn't have any shoots last time I looked.
Its the first time i've started this early so i hope its not a mistake.

This is what I thought last year and the only thing I'd say is to make sure your toms etc get lots of light so they don't get long and leggy. I won't do mine for a few weeks because of this and also they soon catch up earlier sowings I find.

Spot on with the tatties and tattieman recommends having them rose end up and they should have lots of shoots by end of March when I'll consider putting mine in.

i have 3 varieties of pepper and 3 of tomato all from the real seed company in my brand new heated propogator as of 1/2/10.
i've had onions and garlic in since autumn, i used the underbed plastic storage boxes for these, they on offer at wilko's, around £2 each, they're the perfect size plus with a few holes drilled and use the lid as the tray they're ideal until i sort out some raised beds.

i'm want to plant some shallots and more onions and garlic in a similar way, is it too soon or should i wait a little longer?

I put Onions and Garlic in back in November, and as of this morning I've got 6 varieties of Spud chitting by the kitchen window.

When I've finished my soup (second bowl ) I'm going to sort out my seed mountain, and plan what and when.

I think this has been posted a few times before, but it's a very handy, visual, 'what should I be planting now?' chart.

Lazgaot I'll be setting my other toms later on in the month as well, its only the Marmande beefsteak I've started because read that they need an early start.
Just noticed that Bigmallys set his Marigolds I'd forgotten about needing to do them so they'll be ready when my toms go in the greenhouse.
