It is if you haven't got a heated greenhouse to put them in later.

Like you I am impatient to get going - got some chillis growing inside and sprouts just started. Might get some parsnips going in paper pots at the weekend.

[DD.]

You're very early with those sprouts, mine won't go in until the end of March and then in a cold greenhouse. Brassicas do not need heat, do you have these indoors as well?

If you're too early and the plants too advanced, the sprouts will try to form when it's still warm and they can "blow".

I really do advise patience, we've seen from past years that being too early can end in tears.

we are all getting itchy feet me especially lets not get to impatient plenty of time let the ground warm up there's plenty to do in the greenhouse i am tempted to get the heater going Ive got onion sets seed potatoes box of flower  and veg seed at the ready just one thing that's holding me back the bl...dy weather its been along winter not over with yet i fear and  yes i am  going to start some things off in paper pots in the greenhouse get the heater going shortly I've made up my mind perhaps maybe  the end of the month!! so chill out chill being the operative word

[granjan]

Just chillies and peppers for me:)  My family know when I've started 'cause I bring a bucket of  compost into the house to warm it up as I haven't got a greenhouse!

It is the most beautiful sunny but cold day in Glasgow.  Like everyone else I am desparate to start to plant seeds.  I don't have a heated greenhouse so will endevour to be patient and listen to DD.  For the time being I will just look at the pictures on the seed packets although if I have some pepper seeds I might put them in on the window sill.

I've put some Winter Density lettuce on my windowsill

[DD.]

Won't they go a bit floppy? I'd try some seed if I were you.
