    Sowing salad and herb leaves in trays to get them started.

    Has anyone tried to give salad and herb leaves a jump start by sowing indoors (or in a greenhouse) in trays before planting them out?

    If so, I wonder what kind of success you enjoyed.

    Last summer, I saw supermarkets selling lettuce, chives, etc. in small module trays and was surprised but thought I'd give it a go as an experiment.

    I'm about to sow them and will let you know how I get on; in the meantime, if anyone has already been there and got the T-shirt, please share your experience.

Allotment and Edible Gardening

This allotment and edible gardening group is to talk to like minded individuals about their experiences and plans, to exchange ideas, get advice, sharing of seeds, plugs, etc. - essentially, anything to do with allotment or edible gardening. I am also hoping we can meet up, perhaps in turns, at each other's plots. This group is open to anyone anywhere with an allotment or a keen interest in learning about allotment culture and edible gardening. As it is a relatively new group, we will also need to see how it evolves organically - very much my style of gardening, as chemical free and organic as possible :-) So far, so good ...do sign up, you'll be most welcome.
