Potato & Tomato not started a thing
« on: March 30, 2013, 23:09 »
Okay not started a thing, recently moved house, trying to cut sown conifers and trying to define and claim back some borders from stuff that just grows along the border floor like Ivy bit it's not, anyway not started a thing, what can I start to sow from seed now, is it too late to buy and chit potatoes, and can I sow tomatoes a bit later or should I sow now??  :)

if you can find seed potatoes no problem ! As to tomatoes if you have a heated greenhouse your fine if its cold house this year I would wait another 2 weeks at least :)
I cook therefore I grow

Chitting is not a necessity - just speeds up the earlies a week or so. So plenty of seed spuds in the GC's  - just plonk them in when the ground warms up a bit.. By then they would have chitted a bit and at least woken the growing spots up..

Still plenty of seed potatoes about, the weather has really slowed down sales.
Toamtoes if you can keep them warm then sow now or leave for a few weeks longer, but obviously the longer you leave them the later the crop. 
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
