  • Frost. Too late to sow?

    I was planning on planting broad bean seeds, garlic, and red onion sets outside today.

    This morning there was a mild frost - can I still sow? I read that it was good to plant garlic to give them a chance to root before the frosts set in, not sure about broad beans.

    Aquadulce Broadbeans will be fine sown outside now, I will be sowing again early next month as usual, one sowing mid october (now 3 inches tall, one last week and as said again december,) Never have a great problem down here, might lose a few if exeptionaly bad winter, but well worth having. Have followed this pattern for the last 40 years so will be hopefully doing the same for a few more yet.!

          What frost, I haven't seen any yet.
          Sometimes you just have to scratch that itch and get dirt under your finger nails.
