Hi Gunners
I dont no if this is any help but, Im growing red barons from seed this year as i managed to get some at my local seed swap. The information on indoor sowing i found was to sow in trays of compost then put some glass or a propagator lid over the top. That info is for if you are sowing January to February.
Hope that makes sense, And is of some help to you

Kev.
