Luke 5:16
Are they sown straight into the trays ?
If so, how many have you sown of each ?
Carrots are a bit iffy I'm afraid - they don't transplant well. Not sure about onions either.
I would be going for small pots or modules - or even peat pots ...
And this time of year, the propagator covers will make for some scary temperature swings ...
I would take them indoors. You don't even need light.
Not straight into the trays no, I've got insert thingies:
I assume I can lift the whole clod out once they've germinated and bed it in?
I've sown loads of each. For most things I've put 2 seeds per 'cell', in two separate little holes, in the assumption that plenty of them will just fail to germinate. About 15 cells for each, although I've sown a few more onions at the expense of other things as they're small and I can fit more of them in the patch.
If everything I've sown grew I'd have no way near enough space in my little patch. I thought I'd err on the side of a high failure rate!
Should I sow some carrots direct into the soil at the weekend do you think? I've got plenty of seeds left.
I can't really bring them indoors - nowhere to put them. The ambient temperature doesn't seem too variable down here at the moment (Southampton). The days and nights are equally warm and muggy!
