I've just been reading through one of my veg books (lunch time - no-one talks to anyone in the staff room so always handy to take a book...) and I was amazed exactly how many different things could be sowed (sown?) in January/February.

We have 30 horses in East London and very satisfied local allotment keepers but there is tons more and it seems a waste to send it for landfill. if anyone would like some please phone 02085304648

Just wondering, when you say 'under cover' do you mean in greenhouse, coldframe or cloche?  :D
