[West Ender]

I start sowing in late February/early March and then every bedroom windowsill is taken up with seed trays. I do the tomatoes then, as well as bedding plants. Late March is when I do the pumpkins and cucumbers, also the sunflowers.

I have a couple of small plastic grow-houses leaning against my kitchen's back wall. They get the sun until early afternoon, in Spring, so they are ideal for potting on. I also cheat by buying seedlings (fuschias, geraniums etc.) in late March and growing them on in there. I grow vegetables in very large tubs and I plant the seeds in March for a Summer crop.
