what crops can i sow now?
« on: June 28, 2007, 13:16 »
Hello,

I have only just got my plot, and i'm torn between digging it myself, or getting somebody to rotevate it, he's quite cheap.

Is there anything i can still put in between now and July, ie is it worth ploughing,  or should i gradually dig it, putting nothing in this year... (wasteful)...

So, to summerise, what crops apart from carrots can i put in please? :?

Spose it depends on how bad the plot is, myself and it was a case of clearing section by section over the summer/ Autumn months, If you can get a decent size bed sorted you can still put your salad crops in now and then at the end of august get some spring greens in. The rotovator bit is good but has to be done regular to be effective or you will multiply the weeds, so yes rotovate it but get the fork in straight after and get clearing or in 2-3weeks it will look worse than ever.

If I were doing this, and after this year's experience, I would put aside all thoughts of growing anything other than a few spring greens and salad.  I'd put all my efforts into digging, weeding, manuring, and conditioning the plot for next year.  

I lashed ahead getting stuff in to one of our two plots, but the soil is so poor that I wish I had just manured it and dug it first.

just nip to your local garden centre, have a look at cabbages and find the ones for spring, you could also sow Purple sprouting broccoli for the spring.
