Another nutty idea aimed at those who want to grow a few, fast growing veg in pots all year round, and to have something to pick every day of the year.
As some of you know, I follow a 4 week sowing plan of Roots, Shoots, Fruits and Leaves.
The new idea is to sow a pinch of the same seeds every 4 weeks in pots and trays throughout the year - succession sowing in a pot.
For example.
Week 1 - Roots = a pinch of carrots, beetroot and radish ( 2 buckets and a shallow pot)
Week 2 - Shoots (and things with funny names) = a pinch of spring onions and some Chinese veg (couple of pots)
Week 3 - Fruits = a handful of peas for shoots or to grow on for pods ( deep tray or pot)
Week 4 - Leaves = a pinch of mixed salad leaves/mesclun to cut and come again & rocket or spinach or chard or kale for leaves. (trays or pots).
Its Roots week, this week, so tomorrow, I'll sow Week 1 seeds - in future, I'll sow on Mondays.
If you want to join me in another of my bonkers plans, you can choose to sow whenever you like, of course.
