Starting seeds off in Gutters. I heard of this method some years back, but thought it a bit of a gimmick, so never tried it. Anyhoo, as the allotment resembles a cobbled driveway, getting anything to germinate in it is going to be difficult, I thought I'd give it a try. I was pretty pleased with the results.
I sowed Peas 9 days ago.

When they are the desired size, you dig a shallow trench and shuffle the seedlings into place. I already have one row planted out, this is the second, should be ready by wednesday.
I might try growing some salad leaves in there to keep in the greenhouse.
