    Yikes! Looks like everyone is off already! I don't know whether to wait till April as I intended...or throw a panic and get them sown now...

    My first batch are ready to be potted on:

    They are in a cold frame all the time, I thought it would make them too 'soft' keeping them in the greenhouse.

    Has everyone sown their's ?

    Nice batch of walking sticks there - and slug pellets :heehee:

    That brings up an interesting point. I've found that if I put the slug pellets in the trays or pots then the slugs seem to be attracted into the trays and pots. So I put them on the benching and ground around them instead of in them in the hope that the pellets get them before they climb into the tray or pot.

    Its in case of Pirates, we are on the coast, you can't be too carefull, they are often after walking sticks on account of their peg legs.

    As with the giant pumpkins, sorely tempted to car boot a few cabbages to unsuspecting punters:heehee:
