Goof work Snadger. I need to "man up" and get out there tomorrow. 1st job put some broadies in rootrainers to replace the autumn ones that have perished, then the shallots. Then a wash of the greenhouse - brrrr!

Don't think we should feel left behind. Some people, (mentioning no names but you KNOW who you are) just get bored and can't wait, thus scaring the life out of the rest of usOriginally posted by SlugLobber View PostOh I feel a bit left behind, now! I have just got back from Wilkos and picked up some seed spuds (just Roosters and Aran Pilot for now) and Victoria rhubarb. Time to get going, this weekend, methinks! Stop this hibernation malarky.
eta: not Snadger of course as he is a guru and fount of all knowledge

Or possibly I am..........there's 3 inches of snow over the seedbed keeping them warm just now!Originally posted by HayleyB View Post
I always find parsnips take forever to come up and hopefully will germinate when the soil is warm enough!

Isn't there a risk that they'll just rot instead?Comment

Yes, more than likely I'd have thought but he is only sowing a small area so can resow if nothing comes up. I didn't sow mine until early April last year and got a good crop off them from a direct sowing but will try and do it in March this year as I originally intended last yearOriginally posted by nerdgas View Post
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Possibly,............... but they only need 2 deg C to germinate. Have loads of seed left so if they fail I'll just sow some more!Originally posted by nerdgas View Post

I have pak choi seedlings in modules that now have their 3rd set of leaves on them, and onions at the grass stage. My leeks in pots are just starting to come through and today i sowed my gorgeous, dark "Beaujolais" sweet pea seeds. February will be quite busy with sowings of tomato's an summer brassica's into modules, so i like to get some done in January to ease the crush a bit.
