Is it not worth a few free seeds for Starry to find out what works for the conditions available in her conservatory?

Nothing ventured nothing gained etc etc.

It's easy for us to say what works for us, she needs to find out what works for her

[DD.]

Anyone want to give it a go? Just checked my seed stock and I've got hundreds, not counting my self-saved ones, so I guess I could spare a few, problem is it may mean cranking the heat up in the greenhouse earlier than usual!

I'm with you mum I had already brought some tomato seeds of various varieties so  i think I will give them a go, they were free so I will just try a few of them and see how they go.

I've got about 75 "Shirley" seed kicking about, so may risk a couple, just for the hell of it!

Go on...you know you want to


I'll go mad and join in the fun :blink:

1st January, when the hangover's cleared.

[compostqueen]

Hang on!  The other day I had to put outside a load of fruiting chillies from my conservatory as they were covered in greenfly, and my heating was not on in there. It must have been the mini heatwave we had last week that caused the aphids to proliferate as they'd been as clean as a whistle when I put them there from the cold greenhouse when the temperatures plummeted the week or so before.   So, I won't be in a hurry to sow any toms

I always sow mine in the unheated greenhouse about March time but it doesn't bother me that they fruit late either indoors or out 

[starry]

probably wont actually get to do mine 'till at least friday the 6th as lots to do before then so nobody start with out me please  :blink:

[gobs]

I am having a sowing itch anyway and it's horrid out there.

The 6th will be fine. :blink:

me too

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.

Did you not have a hangover then DD... 

[DD.]

Nope,  went to bed about 1.20 a.m., up at 6.10.

Been on ebay there are glow light bulbs on there for £6-00 screw in type may help if any one wants to start a little early with not to much out lay

The output on those is not very high.
