Ray sowed the Jersey Sunrise today but only because he has a nice warm
propagating house to sow them in! The nice thing is that it does give
an anticipation of summer, even in a distant way!

Nick wants to experiment with early sowed tomatoes this year. I've found
they don't thrive planted in Feb, normally leave till end of March, he
wanted to try them on boxing day!
My suggestion was we plant equal amounts o fthe same seeds now, end of Feb
and end of March, then see how they do.

I can't comment, Vicky because it's just so different here. Ray sows
ours in a propagating house with heated benches, overhead sprinklers
etc. It's just a different approach in the sense of what's available
to the grower. Perhaps Nick could try half a dozen seeds and if it
works it works and if it doesn't, well, it's not a tragedy?

PS: I still have a few Jersey Sunrise if you want to try them out!

It's not just about when you sow them, it's being able to grow them on
with the right temp. and sufficient light so that they dont get leggy.
