planting seeds

Hi just planted Tom,Chilli,Peppers,Onions in a unheated propagater,can i leave these on the side in the kitchen or would it be best to put in airing cupboard until shoots start appearing?
One more thing i saved some seeds from a pumpkin and wondered when should i plant
Thanks

 

I would start them off in the airing cupboard....

 

anyone know when to plant pumpkin seeds,growing for kids to use at halloween time thanks

 

Hi poohpuri - Pumpkins need about 4 months to develop, so you should plant the seeds in the Spring when we're definitely not going to get any more frost. They also need lots of sun :yho:

Hope this helps.

Right my cucumber and tomatoe seeds have started sprouting should i still keep the progator lid on or take it off now?

 

Hi poohpouri.
I hope you have a plan or suitable place to grow these on.

I'm thinking unless you have a greenhouse with some very good heat your a bit early.
The onions being the exception as they need to be grown cool, but in good light.

I wouldn't plant pumpkin seeds until April/early May myself.

 

My dig in tomatoe seeds have germinated had some left from last yr.

Started them off in elect propagator .

And now out of propagator on kitchen window sill.

 

Pumpkin plants get very big and you need to keep them indoors until after the last frost so I wouldn't sow them too early unless you have a good place to keep them. April should be fine for sowing.
Take the lid off your tomato and cucumber seeds and give them as much light as possible or they will get very leggy.

 

Hey Poohpouri - There is actually an online problem solver within the RHS website that you might want to look at. You can put in what you're trying to grow, what the conditions are like etc and it will offer tips and advice. While you're there, you should also look at this area it details some of the big RHS events throughout the year. I've just bought tickets for the Cheslea Flower Show for Mother's Day, she'll be so pleased :luv:

Shout if you have any further questions. Chris

 

Cucumbers going in greenhouse, can onions be planted outside?
