Swede Tweed still thin.

No they should be fattening up by now.

Did you water them through the dry weather - they don't like to get too dry.

should have been enough then, what about feeding them?

Ah I don't feed things. I only do organic growing.

But you can use comfrey or nettle tea surely.  Or did i miss something.

do you add anything to your soil at all, in the way of nutrients? - to make up for what the plants are using to grow 

 

I've a feeling Swedes are greedy feeders like celeriac.
I dug in a load of compost and manure to my celeriac bed and fed them 4 or 5 times over the growing season and have finally ended up with a decent sized root - never happened before so super- chuffed.

I think the big roots like these and swede need a lot of love and attention and especially water!
I fed mine with chicken poo pellets - i'm sure they're organic?

The only 1 successful Swede I've managed this year is still just over golf ball sized but the ground it's in isn't very fertile and I planted the seed straight in the ground. Might not bother with swedes next year - but celeriac yes

Slightly jealous as mine are small and neat 

They went in late (due to decimation of first seedlings) and maybe they didn't get enough water.

 I'll be eating them anyway but hope for better next year

(They did get fed with BFB and chicken poop pellets though  )
