What have I got time to sow/plant?
« on: June 20, 2011, 11:14 »
Hi all

Well, I've been busy beavering away in my new UPVC greenhouse since March (and I have just ordered a much bigger one he-he) sowing and growing on and then planted lots out but is there anything that I can sow now and plant out or sow directly?

I'm happy to grow anything so any suggestions welcome, it's the plot's first year so happy to have a go at anything and see how the soil goes.

P.S. I've still got a space of about 10m x 25m on the allotment to available.

Cheers

Thanks DD, I dod use the chart often.  Is there anything that can be sown later from what it shows on the chart.  I want some spouts, it says May on the chart, do you think they would be OK still now?

I think it's a bit too late to sow sprouts, but i'm sure if you go to a garden centre/nursery they might have some plants, you can grow them now!  :)

I think you can sow....

Cauliflowers
Swedes
Cabbage
Sprouting Brtoccoli
Red Russian kale

You might be a bit late with some of these though, i'm not quite sure  :unsure:
If i were you i'd go buy some plug plants  ;) Just to be on the safe side!  ::)

The variety I'm doing (Long Island Improved) are semi dwarf and faster maturing, and the instructions say they can be sown midsummer for autumn/winter use, which I'd take to be June or July. So I think maybe it depends a bit on the variety you're sowing.
