Winter veggies

[veggiechicken]

VC exactly how many seeds do you have?

No idea whatsoever - but some of those cabbage seeds were best before 2007

There are lots of winter radish - some with unpronouncable? names.

They are alive and well and living in my seedbox. Some will emerge when there's a free patch of garden............if I remember

Lottie, how about cabbage stuffed with cabbage served on a bed of cabbage with a garnish of.............sprouts
I have to find time to eat 26 shades of Kale too

as Lumpy already mentioned, winter radish...I'm going to see if I can find seed for these;

Radish Mooli Seeds - Suttons Seeds and Plants

I grow Mooli outdoors over the winter and they grow mahoosive! I dread to think what a two stone Mooli plant grown indoors would look like, or how long it would take to eat it!

Didn't Monty Python do this with spam?

Just sown 14 types of cabbages.
Only about 10 seeds of each so at best, I'll grow 140 cabbages That's one a day for 3+ months.
Does anyone eat cabbage for breakfast?

Things I tried to overwinter last year (apart from the usual leeks, cabbages, broccoli, chard etc):
Kohlrabi - very good
Mizuna - very good
Pak Choi - eaten by slugs
Carrots (greenhouse) did ok (would have been better if they hadn't been dug up by a squirrel)
Calabrese (greenhouse) survived but produced small heads when I was overwhelmed with PSB
Spinach (cold frame) soon overtaken by spring sown outdoor spinach
Mooli - grew well but I didn't like the taste
Potatoes - worked well in bags that could be moved under cover.

No, but I know someone who eats sardines and another who eats cold leftover pizza for breakfast!

Now what shall I sow next?

Absolutely- bubble and squeak with bacon or an egg, yum.

I'll be sowing some swede seeds tomorrow.....which I believe goes very well with cabbage....... ;-)

[Kirk]

Emptied 4 rows and fill one with bits that had no real home. That left 3 empty rows. Just put in a row of carrots, a row of swede and a row of turnip.

Do have a short row (even a patch) left but need something that will sort of grow anywhere under any condition with minimal care/attention (= absolutly none). How do carrots fit that ?

[Penellype]

Carrots would fit that if you covered them with some enviromesh.

[Aberdeenplotter]

really interesting winter radish.

excuse the tangentisation but is that not an oxymoron?

[veggiechicken]

And yet another tangent ...............Did you know that "moron" is Welsh for carrot?
