Spindly tomatoes

Hello, I have been a bit remiss in the care of my tomatoes in my propagator and slot of them have become very tall and spindly. Is it worth planting these toms out in the greenhouse, will they bear fruit or is it not worth the bother. Many thanks in advance.

Starting off onion sets in module trays

Evening all,
just sneaked a peak at my neighbours greenhouse and he has strted off his onion sets in compost filled module trays. Has anyone done this themselves, as a technique I have never heard of this. Is it too late to start this now or am I better off planting them out in the ground?

Sowing chilli seeds now?

Hello, is anyone daring to sow any chilli seeds this month? Or is everyone waiting for February? I've just got myself a heated vitopod propogator so I thought I would give it a try but just a little worried about lack of light once they have germinated. Is anyone sowing anything else this month?
