Title: New greenhouse, anything I can sow/plant?
Post by: maddave on August 19, 2020, 13:19

I've just finished building a new 8x6 greenhouse which I've been given. Is there any veg I can currently sow or plant now, or am I going to be waiting until later in the year before I can get going!?  (I'm quite keen to get using it!! :D)

I think you'd be ok sowing a hearting spring cabbage like April, or things like Pak Choi for winter stir-fries.
September is the time to sow winter lettuce/salad mixes, corn salad, rocket etc
