My sowing/potting compost is going to be delivered tomorrow morning....so at last i will get sowing. Aubergines and peppers inside, early peas and lettuce in cold greenhouse..
can't wait.

Is it time for leeks yet..............have to look if anything else

I'd leave the leeks for a month or so. It's surprising how things sown later catch up and I think that, in a cold greenhouse like mine, you will still get some periods of frost which will set them back unless it is well insulated. I also have a feeling that if you sow them too early they can bolt later on - perhaps someone could correct me on that if I am wrong. It's so tempting to get sowing but I'd rather leave it for a while than risk putting seedlings under stress.

I sowed my first set of onions/leeks on 29th Dec and the second batch a couple of weeks ago. They're now outdoors and doing well.

Bring on the spring though - a nice enough day but I want more warmth.

at last!
