What do you sow direct?
« on: April 10, 2012, 21:44 »
Hi there, what do you say grows just as well, sown direct? Im sick of sowing in pots and trays!, and then potting on, and all the pot washing!  My OH was at it when we got the lottie, I will sow and do it all, he has not sown a single seed or washed a single pot, talk about rail roaded.

Off the top of my head:

Carrots
Parsnips
Spring Onions
Raddish
Turnips

Most other things i do transplant so they are stronger when attacked by their various enemies!!!  >:(

Carrots
Lettuce
Spinach
Runner beans, french beans
Peas
Courgettes
melons & pumpkins
Beetroot
Cucumbers
Chard

But I won't sow them all at the same time. Cucumbers, melons, pumpkins and courgettes will be sown later when all chance of frost is gone.

Peas, chard, and spinach will go in later this week after our snowstorm passes  :dry:
