I've just popped 4 "Shirley" in a pot.

This flies in the face of anything I usually do, but it'll be a comparison with the ones I sow at the usual time.

I've amended the thread title so it can be more easily found.

Thank you. ;)

I don't have Shirley. It will be something else going in this afternoon, as I'm sowing my onions anyway.

Actually, I had some of those this year. They kept germinating from some fallen fruit all last winter in the gh. In the end, I let 2 be. they were OK.

Oh, I have been cheating already. Found some tomato and pepper seed, that says: not sensitive to lack of light, suitable for early, unheated gh production.

Surely does not mean January, but I must have been kind of preparing for this challange some time ago. :tongue2:

I am gutted! Ordered 2 shirley's pixie from victorian nurseries and they were so frosted when they arrived that there was no hope. Had to take pictures to send back to them. Maybe I should ask them for seed as a replacement so I can catch up with you lot!  :happy:
