what is being sown

[Winged one]

I sowed beetroot, PSB, brussels sprouts, sweet pepper and marigolds today. All are out in the mini greenhouse in the garden and I moved the brassicas (calabrese brocolli, bru sprouts, cauliflowers and lots of cabbages) out to the open.

Wow hawthorns and everyone else!!

You have been busy people - you have all put me to shame!

Leave your finger where it is. I've just started sowing seeds for everything which will go outside and will continue all week. The soil this far north won't be warm enough to put anything outside until the end of May and it ALWAYS catches up. As a rule of thumb, look at weed seeds. If they haven't started germinating, it's too cold to put your crops out.

Just got in from the pub where I've spent 2 hours talking to a farmer friend. He isn't even THINKING about putting seeds in for brassicas until the middle of May. He did give me a tip for evading the ravages of carrot root fly. (He's putting carrots in this week) He plants a turnip every 2' and says that as the foliage of the turnip is higher than the carrots, the CRF fly over the top and miss them. He's been growing carrots for 35 years and never had a problem with CRF. Worth a try!
