Just joined this forum but have had a love of gardening and tinkering in the back yard for years. How to pick your collective brains over the following months etc!
Yes, it's something that sometimes happens - probably because the shell of the seed is a bit dry and unbendy - the leaves will eventually break free on their own, but if you're careful you may be able to ease it off without doing any damage.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Can I ask a question please. I'm new to growing my own. I started last spring and learnt a lot in my first season. I started planting seeds this weekend in window propagators but I was just wondering if there's any kind of weather report that can inform me if the frost has passed so I can start planting my seeds out direct. I've googled it but all sorts of stuff come up and obviously weather reports only go a week in advance. Thanks so much. Emma
You'll have to ask Nutcutlet when the last frost is in Peterborough, but here in Nottingham, I don't plant anything tender out until late May, and then I have fleece ready just in case. A lot of hardy things such as carrots can be sown outside this month. The frost won't harm them.
