Despite the threat of snow, Geoff Hamilton does some sowing at Barnsdale, and also samples different kinds of propagators - from simple trays to a sophisticated heated model. Meanwhile
Lynda Brown explores old varieties of vegetables, including
Dickensian cauliflowers and Victorian radishes, and Nicholas Wray takes a look at that elusive herald of spring, the snowdrop.
