Is there much I can sow now from seed? I appear to have the growing bug!
-
Lots! I planted some beetroot directly into the soil at the plot today, so there is one for starters!
-

Riala, i'd think again if the squash is for your square foot garden? They are monster plants and will grow over everything else. :( i wouldn't want one to spoil all your hard work :ohmy:
or have you got a nice big tub to grow it in :) then the leaves could trail in the yard without hurting anything.
-
what is methi?
-
Oooh, thanks for the head's up there mumofstig. I have some large pots left, so I will stick one in there if the seeds every arrive.
-
methi is fenugreek. I think fresh its called fenugreek but dried it's methi :) Whatever, it's delicious. You can sprout it or sow it and let it grow and then harvest the leaves which are used in curries and it has a really distinct flavour, like nothing else. It's also very good flavoured when dried and added to the dish
-
don't forget lettuce, spring onion, radish can be succesionly grown, think I spelt that right. You know sow them every two or three weeks for constant supply.
-
oh yeah! I just picked my first radishes. Gorgeously crunchy. While eating same was sowing spring onions in the gaps :)
