Rocket and beetroot failure
I have re-sown twice two rows of rocket and beetroot, once around mid
March (I put down nothing happening to cold weather) and again in late April/early May. Not a dicky bird of either germinated. Now, I have sown rocket before and have never had this problem. Beetroot is new to me. Why can this be? Cat(h) |

I save my own seed, and have no trouble. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
