What can I start on now??

I'm sorry but its really too soon.  I know all about itchy fingers but really unless you've got a heated greenhouse with artificial lighting its just too early.

There's another thread on this somewhere as well.

Edited to say:
Found it:  http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=69785.0

I agree. The problem is not enough light (even Down South!), and anything you grow will become leggy and drawn (unless you get a Grow Lamp, in which case you can start off anything you like ...)

Onions from seed - prick out into small modules, and plant out later.

Broad Bean Aquadulce one per 3" pot (modules are probably fine too) to plant out a bit later.

Aubergine if you have a cold greenhouse (to put them in later, not yet!!!)

You could sow some carrots in a container (I used 50% used multi-purpose compost from last year, 50% sharp sand)

Early Cauliflower maybe - e.g. Snowball

Also Lettuce in containers - I have some window-box plastic troughs which do well for that

Sweet Peas - if you want to grow them.

Some people start Leeks off now. I think its too early (we don't want to eat them in the Autumn, as we like them in the Winter) and I think they are inclined to bolt if sown this early.

Ask again on the 1st February when there will be a bit more you can look forward to

I sowed Chilli seeds last year on 28th Jan. Started in a heated propagator; they took about 7-10 days to come up followed by a windowsill and eventually outside.

With careful use of tinfoil they all turned out fine and I ended up with a good long growing season for them so loads of chillis. However, they did start off a bit leggy and had to be re-potted a couple of times so I could plant them deeper.
On reflection this year I will give it another 2 weeks probably….(well, probably……)

Anyway, they will be the first things I sow this year.
Just a little more patience….

Its too early and yet grow your own magazine gave away tomato seeds and advised  planting them now.  I bought this  mag the first week in January, so how many folk will have already planted them?

The very same, Kristen.

Its so lovely & sunny here that its really tempting to get some seeds in, but am holding off as best I can.

My Broad Bean Aquadulce will be sown in modules at the end of the month. I have a few different seeds in my sprouter, a tray of Rocket on one windowsill for microgreens & am planning a trial of some lettuce to grow as microgreens as well this weekend.   

Rocket as a microgreen has grown well inside all winter & is lovely in a sarnie or scrambled eggs

that's what I found with my Leeks experiment - sowed some Leeks into a deep litter tray (like what DD does) and left them to germinate to see how they would do from a January sowing. Then I was called away to attend to my uncle's funeral and house clearance and when I got back they had grown up but leggy and weak.

As everyone says, too weak. I won't be sowing until we have attended to Beltaine. Nothing like a bit of fire to get the sun going again!
