  • Growing autumn-sown crops

    Hello. My Gardenate reminder tells me there's still time to sow mustard greens. They're a new discovery for me this year and I *love* them so would really like to get more on the go. My question is, should I start them off inside til they're what I would normally consider big enough to go outside, or should I sow them straight into the bed? I'm concerned if I sow them straight that they just won't get going before the days are too short and the nights too cold. I do have some old window panes so can construct them a shelter, but not a proper cold frame.
    Is there anything that isn't made better by half an hour pottering in the veg patch?

    The soil is warm now (much like the sea - perfect time to surf!), so they'll germinate quite fast. I've sown direct now, and undercover - both have been fine for me. However, slugs did decimate my direct sown ones... but that was last year, the year of the slug

      Brilliant Chris, thank you. I'll get some in the earth this week.
