    What can I sow?

    Hi Guys,
    I have 2 4ft by 4ft patches empty and am wondering if there is anything I can sow now that I will be able to plant out at the beginning of September.

    Reflecting I should have posted this a good while back

    TIA

    I don't quite understand why you want to sow now and plant out in September?

    I've just sown Savoy cabbage seed that will go into final positions over next few weeks.

    I've also just put my leeks out into final ground. You might be able to get some plants from a garden centre.

    You can still sow peas (round seeded, rather than wrinkled) for a crop this year.

    I sowed more dwarf french beans a week ago.

    Spring onions.

    Lettuce can be sown in a few weeks when temperatures drop a bit.
    The proof of the growing is in the eating.
    Leave Rotten Fruit.
    Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potasium - potash.
    Autant de têtes, autant d'avis!!!!!

            why September? I guess your space is tied up with other crops at the moment?

            What I do (and my plot never has any bare soil, ever) is to work out which crops are going to be finished next and then I put the new crop in around the old.

            eg, my peas finish in the first week of July, so I have trays & trays of things waiting to go out after them. I actually planted dwarf French beans in the gaps around the peas, about a month ago. So today the peas came out, and the DFBs are already growing well underneath them.


            Onions came out y'day, and tomorrow I'll be planting leeks or cabbage in the space
