As I should have my plot within a few weeks I thought I'd get started with growing some seeds. A neighbour gave me a few packets to try (all still in date lol) so I now have some yellow peppers, chives and rhubarb seeds in a couple of cheap non heated propagators on my kitchen window. I've also bought one of those mini plastic greenhouses for my garden.

I know it could all still go Pete Tong and I end up with lots of plants and no allotment to put them on but I'm the optimistic type.

So do you have any reccommendations of what I should be sowing indoors at this time of year? I'm happy to give anything a go when  I get my plot, except marrow, because I still have nightmares about the ''Year of the Marrow'' we had back in the seventies when my dad grew far too much stuff of the stuff. Chile con carne just isn't the same when you replace the rice with marrow is it?

I've got one of those little 4-shelf plastic greenhouses; just make sure it's tied to something securely.

I intend to start off leeks and sweet peas in my plastic greenhouse soon.

I won't start anything indoors such as tomatoes, sweetcorn, beans, courgettes etc until late April because of the risk of frost until the start of June.  It's just too hard to keep the plants indoors without going leggy if started off too early.

You could get some seed potatoes and start them chitting in a cool light place indoors.

yum i love leeks. I'll certainly give them a try.
Got quite a good deal on the greenhouse. Only £20 at Barnitts with a free fleece cover thrown in.
