  • Your advice please

    I've been asked to provide some veg plants in small pots for an ecofayre on 20th July. What could I sow that would fit in a small pot and would be worth buying so late in the season?

    I bet rainbow coloured carrots would sell well (make sure your pot is deep enough)

          Tracey, Don't think of it as "late in the season" but early in the next season (autumn/winter) so mini late-summer and overwintering edibles might prove popular at an eco-fayre. If you supplied a sheet of tips on how to grow on (even in a window box or pot on the window sill) that might also hit the right notes. If you look to see what established organic growers like Delfland are delivering June/July/August (range of brassicas, cut again salads etc) you'll hopefully come up with ideas aplenty (see e.g Delfland Nurseries Limited July Delivery ).

            Pak Choi would be no problem - and a wee recipe to go with it.

              Thanks for your suggestions, salad leaves seem a good idea
