Remember to put in follow on lettuces. Second year that I have had to hastily buy plants to replace and go to supermarket for them in the meanwhile.

Not assume that just because something did well last year it will do so this year. Doubled my broad beans this year and harvested about a fifth of last year. Hey ho!Le Sarramea https://jgsgardening.blogspot.com/ -

Label EVERYTHING- I have a tray of cavolo nero into which I popped something else, all are growing well but cannot for the life of me remember what I put in the middle. Don't know if it is ornamental or edible so will have to pot on until I do.No matter:the allotment is lovely, the tadpoles have legs, my sea kale has germinated and I am glad to be home.Comment

Well I have quite a few but I think my main two are not to plant seeds to early and sow my beans direct. I ended up having stuff ready to go out when it was far to cold for them and my beans were a disaster so sowed direct and they are cracking on well.sigpicComment

But... if you had only sowed 5 seeds only 1 would have germinated! This happened to me recently - I sowed 8x broccoli seeds, 2 germinate so then decided to do a whole 24 module seed tray with same compost, seed etc and 22 germinate - typical!Originally posted by Jay-ell View Post
Good job I like broccoli!Comment

not for one second consider growing onions.
It costs less to buy them from a supermarket then it does for the sets, and they are at least big enough to eat from a supermarket.Comment
