Don't forget to get your autumn planted/sown stuff..............

[Snadger]

From garden centre etc.

Got mine yesterday

Japanese onion sets Senshyu (old faithful)
" " " Troy (just cos OH is called Helen!)
Aquadulce Claudia broad beans (cos I forgot to save seeds.)

I'm still planting leeks, PSB and have a few spring cabbage ready to go out soon.

Anyway...........get your stuff NOW as they soon sell out.............

Funnily enough was thinking earlier that I need to buy my onion sets, had a very good crop off senshyu this last year so am planting them again. Have also got some from seed but want sets as a back up as I seem to struggle on seeds when they are overwintered, especially if the winter is like the last two.

[Piggle]

can't fin dany in my local "garden/tatt" centre so I'm ordering fromt'internet. Can you plant shallots in the autumn too or is it just onions?

[rustylady]

Got some onion sets from Wilkinsons, also some garlic. Never had much success with garlic but determined to try again. Leeks are in, as are PSB. May get some Senshyu sets as well (QD had them) - hope I have enough room.

[Thelma Sanders]

Just ordered radar onions and Purple Wight garlic

[Florence Fennel]

Got my onions and garlic last Saturday, still looking at seeds on Tinterweb.

[Flummery]

Hmm - must get autumn onon sets. My kale and spring cabbage are in or on the way to going in but I have no alliums - I shall rectify this upon the instant!

this year I am not going to the ex-wyvale 50p as I always end up with far too many things.

Forgot to mention I bought garlic as well.

Like you it's a bit hitty missy for me, but I think i had one decent crop about 8 years ago, just i can't remember what was different about THAT years planting.

[taff]

The first time I bought garlic is was fab, so i used the cloves the year after, it was awful, and this years was, so back to buying from the isle of wight or wherever it is

[Thelma Sanders]

try the seed from Really Garlicky ....it's good stuff
I grew it this year

[Ananke]

Thats good to hear Thelma, i've just ordered mine from there.

[SlugLobber]

When's the latest they can go in? Am moving house in the next week and things are a bit hectic! Love planting Autumn sets but it'll probably be mid-Oct at least!

[Rocketron]

Mid October is ideal in the south.

I've got leeks, swedes, kale, savoy cabbage, and brussels sprouts in the ground already, and spring cabbages to plant. Waiting for onion sets of Shakespeare, Senshyu and Electric and Garlics Messidrome, Picardy Wight, Wight Cristo, Iberian Wight and Albigensian Wight to arrive. Really excited about trying the new varieties of garlic - I've had Cristo and Albigensian before and they've done well
