Veg Plants Bolting
« on: June 07, 2012, 16:06 »
Hi All
I have almost finished planting my plot now, but some the stuff i put in 5-6 weeks ago have bolted, things like turnip, curly lake and beetroot.

Cheers pete

It's the weather that's to blame  :( don't beat yourself up about it!

Hi Flopsy,

As MoS says, it is the weather.  I have had leaf beet, chard, lettuce, pak choi and radishes go to seed very quickly - they are only good for the chickens in our house!

mine are not bolting yet as I still have a lot to plant just waiting for a gap in the rain (joke) but my courgette plants are looking very sad  :(
some people are like slinkys......they're really good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face as you push them down the stairs!!
