Seed recommendations
« on: June 28, 2009, 23:17 »
Ok, Ive done a bit of homework, and I think its not too late to sow a few bits and pieces. Anyone got any recommendations of what to sow for these crops:
pak choi, carrot, radish, turnip, swede, spring cabbage, spring onion

Also, if anyone knows its way too late to sow any of these I wont be offended if you say so!! (Or indeed surprised!!)

Thanks!!

You can still plant most of these, I'd recommend direct seeding. The best carrots here are planted in July as they like heat to germinate and cooler fall temps to mature. Turnips, swede, spring onion and radish are also good to plant now. Its a bit hot for pak choi which will quickly bolt in the heat so wait until later August before seeding.
