Default Starting things off in Greenhouse


"judith" wrote...
I am quite keen on trying different things this year. I do not have a
big garden so I am more interested in quality rather than quantity. To
this end I like to start things off in the greenhouse.

What do people think to starting cabbages, sprouts, broccoli and the
like in the greenhouse? Is it worth it? Any tips?

Whilst we do start most things off in our little heated greenhouse the
Brassicas we start in "Rootrainers" of normal multipurpose compost outside
(on the garage roof). They do not need a high temperature to germinate.
