Re: Stupid/Newbie Question
Thanks for that. I did Salald/Potato's/Courgette Last year (Old house, Moved since), so i have still got the seeds for that. I did try Chilli's but gave up on them, and they still started to come through. I like the idea of Herbs as well, and they were quite easy to grow as well. The main Issue i wo...

Re: Newbie questions
Ok, so i thought i'd put an update on this all. 2 Tom plants died! The pot didn't drain properly, and it has just wilted down, not too sure if it's savable. For now it is all alone in the bottom of the garden (Late day sunlight) "Drying out". Carrots/Spring Onions/Patio Salad seem to be co...

Re: Newbie questions

Re: Planting out
Yeah it is dark in there, but next to a window, and the whole door opens so they can get some light, but they don't get much really. I think in that case, i'll get them outside today then! Carrot's are 1 week early! Supposed to be 14-21 days, and there coming through after 7 days! I know i have to k...

Re: Newbie questions
yeah, the carrots went direct into a large pot (10/12") when sown, and the guide says it's gonna be 14ish days before seedlings appear. (It's all i got to go on so far! Seems to be working!!). I have one of those plastic greenhouse things for the toms, they are just under 10" high now. The...

Re: Newbie questions
thanks for the help so far! I saw a sale on Potato kits so i now have the going outside as well! I think i may have spotted my own error re: pepper plants. There are 4 in a mid size pot, and 2 in small ones! I think, if i am right, putting these into the next level pots will allow them to grow on qu...

Re: Newbie questions
Hi Alan, Thanks for the reply. I do have a decent size patio before i get to the Garden, so i could put some containers outside, just not too sure on how, and what to put in there! I'll get the rocket going then, and i'll look into what other salad veg i could get going. Thanks for the advice and ke...
