Hiya,
First of all, please excuse my lack of knowledge, if this sounds stupid I apologise in advance!
We moved before Christmas, and have a much bigger garden so it was our intention to grow some veg. We cleared our plots, weeded them etc. We then bought seeds from our local horticultural societys group order (with a great discount!) and were ready to go.
However, life since march seems to have run away with us and we haven't gotten around to planting most of our seeds.
we have:
Dwarf french beans (safari)
chantenay red cored carrots
brussels sprouts (wellington f1)
Iceberg lettuce
round lettuce
leeks (autumn giant 3)
as well as these herbs:
Dill
Sweet basil
Chives
Rosemary
Now, my question is are we too late to plant these? Having never even planted flower seeds before, I don't really have a clue if they would still grow. Some of the packets say they can be sewn april to july for example, then some say march/april. Oh, we also have some seed potatoes, they have all grown shoots, with little leaves appearing on the ends, poor things! Have they had it?
Is it worth trying them? And if so, are there any things we could try to make them more succesful?
We did manage to plant some brocoli and some cabbages, hopefully they will produce something, though the brocoli isnt looking to healthy I must say.
If anyone has any reccomendations for good books on the subject I would be really grateful!
It would be so good for my children to eb able to come out and help me pick a few of our own vegetables! And also for their mum and dad not to look so incompetent! lol!
Next year we will hopefully be more organised
