Jenny Now is the time to browse catalogues, either paper or on line, of seed merchants, one of gardening pleasures. I have my seeds already, I use Dobies as I find them competitively priced and their service good. If you send for their catalogue they have handy information on when to sow what. The sad thing is (in my case) the actuality never quite meets my anticipation! ;-) |

Sowing information is usually on the packet and you will learn from experience when you can plant for your own area of the UK, as a rule of thumb plant early for the south and later for the north, but there are exceptions. Garlic should be in already but you could probably get away with planting some now. Broad Beans we used to plant in January. Shallots, onion sets and early peas in February/March ....... May I suggest you get a good book on veg gardening which will help you over the initial learning stage. -- Regards Bob H 17mls W. of London.UK |
