Chickens have ransacked my plot!
« on: July 15, 2009, 11:52 »
Hi All,

Neighbour accidently let my chickens out onto my veg plot over the weekend!

They have eaten everything!

I'm more annoyed as this year is my first harvest, never grown veg before.

My question is is it to late to re plant seeds?

I had beetroot, leek, rhubarb, parsnip and carrotts.

Any help appreciated.

Gavin

I know you can put beetroot and carrots in now, not sure but I think it's too late for the rest. Sorry.  :(

Sorry to hear. You can sow beetroot, spring cabbage, carrots, lettuce, Peas, french beans, radishes and spring onions. There is a month by month sowing guide on the site to help  ;)

Sorry to here your bad news K. C.
  On the same subject, I let mine on the veg patch in winter to clear the soil and soil on it. It workes a treat.
I may take my time.....but i'll get there in the end.

Now that is a good idea!

Will sow some more then whilst I still can, anyone know where the month by month guide is?

At least the eggs should be interesting  ;)
