Is it to late?

[marcofez]

I'm just back from my holidays and was wondering if its to late to sow my winter brassica's and get anything decent from them?

Well everyone reckons we're about 6 weeks behind so its worth a try for most things. Maybe a bit late for sprouts tho' ......

I Just ordered more seeds today, id agree about the sprouts though, you might be able to get a few plug plants though?

But yeah im just pretending we're in May still in terms of what im sowing... im picking varieties that are hardy though just incase the summer stays winter-like.

I'd guess you're safe with some varieties of sprouting broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. Also maybe khol rabi? I'm still sowing all sorts of stuff .

[marcofez]

Thanks for the response. I've sown a pinch of seeds of different varieties and see what happens.

I haven't long sown tuscan kale, so I hope not too late

[binley100]

and I've just had an all or nothing sowing of parsnips

Good move, Bins - you've given me the idea of 'filling the gaps' of where the germination was patchy with more parsnip seed - I'll take the rest of the seed packet to the Hill tomorrow evening.

I sowed some cauliflower at the weekend. Reckon you might be okay with some kale too, if you're quick.
