ALso I have some spring greens in, I did get them a couple of weeks ago from the agrden centre but it was only £1.50 for 12 plants so worth it. ALso they would be out in time for planting next year.
If you know anyone on you site with leeks that need thinning you could put some in (I think.. not too late ?)
I have been given a clump by a fellow on the site who just threw seeds on the ground.. he had given me waht looks like a clod of grass, but in fact they are leeks.

i got two greenhouses with just afew chillis, some lettuce and some geraniums sat in 'em. seems a waste with all that space. is there anything else i can grow in them while i wait until feb to start sowing seedlings in trays? i'm thinkink about an electric greenhouse heater, but do they cost a lot to run? :shock:

Never grown over-wintering peas before, but this year have planted Meteor. They are now about 8" tall, only been in three weeks, so fingers crossed.
