is it time to sow leeks now? Is it not too early?Comment

My packet of Lyon leeks (free with GYO) says you can sow leeks under cover in January and February, Stella.Comment

Think a lot of people are getting them under way Stella, so you won't be alone. I am making two sowings and aiming for a staggered cropping next year.Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein

Right I shall get mine on the go as well. Once they have germinated do they need to stay in the kitchen or can they go out in the blow away?Comment

Miss Z takes the approach that you are best treating them mean and getting them out into a greenhouse is where they are best. Most of us I think are taking that advice. Have fleece ready for bad weather days maybe.Last edited by VirginVegGrower; 08-01-2012, 11:53 AM.Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein

As long as the blowaway is secure; leeks will be fine in it. Onions too. Make sure it is very firmly affixed. And I mean firm! Even though the thing may not blow away, the wind can get up it and the trays shake so they can get thrown about a bit. A coldframe low to the ground would possibly be better.Originally posted by stella View Post
Tomatoes not so fine; they need somewhere a little more insulated.

Its a Biodynamic flower day. One of the many things I don't understand is what makes a cauli a flower when a cabbage, left long enough will also have a flower, yet seems to be regarded as a leaf?
And I still don't know whether a strawberry is a fruit or a flower. Helllppppp!!Comment
