2008 Season is finally off the starting line

Although me Garlic is in and up I always feel the season starts when I buy me tats, that was today and they are lined up on parade chitting, next week and the first sowings of Leeks (Autumn mammoth), Spring Onions (Winter Lisbon) and Cauli. So I am all excited now although once up they will sit in the greenhouse for a good few weeks before transplanting in March. Then it all kicks off.

Start them off like me leeks, sow them in 5 inch pots then transplant about mid march depending on weather, will about 40 in each pot, normally ready way before the onion fly is active.
