Winter vegetables in UK
Hello fellow gardeners, Having had a disasterous frst season trying to grow my own vegies, I thought I would try some winter varieties. I know where I went wrong with my spring/summer crops, ie: pests, parasites soil quality feeding watering/overwatering. I have read online that you can plant sprouts, cabbage, peas and broad beans, but different sites contradict eachother as to when they can be sown. Any help or tips(both would be very nice) please for a frustrated newbie gardener? Thanks in advance Part_No |

Winter vegetables in UK
WSith the weather we having at present its worth putting some potatoes into
tubs for new spuds christmas day, should just be in time. Take a look here for some other ideas http://www.realseeds.co.uk/summersowing2.html its worth putting in some fairly hardy leafy greens now as they can be picked leaf by leaf over winter Might be worth trying Kohl Rabi, use when small for soups, stews, salads put plenty in tho. worth some salad such as radish, cress, mustard, all for garnish. Try the new varietys of baby carrots, these grow to the size in TV dinners, you know Miniscule? again put plenty in. Beetroot may just be in time as Autumn weather has been milder of late, and first sign of frost is usually around 3rd or 4th week in November here in the midlands. If you have greenhouse, or could cover your plants with polythene that will give you the edge on weather. regards Cineman "Part_No" wrote in message ...
