  • Planting in a polytunnel in August

    Hi all,

    New to the forum and new to the growing game!

    I have previously acquired a allotment which is now cleared but unfortunately I have missed the growing season, I have a 25ft Pollytunnel and I an curious what I can start growing in there that will take me over the winter months.

    Thanks
    Phil

    Welcome to the Vine. There is an excellent book ‘ How to Grow Food in your Poly Tunnel All Year Round’. It suggests Beetroot, Purple Sprouting Broccoli, Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Coriander, Kohlrabi, Lettuce, Pak Choi, Peas, Radish, rocket, Spring onions, Strawberries, Sweet Potato’s and Turnips.

    Best of Luck.

        Hi and welcome to the Vine.
        A good place to start are the Growing Guides at https://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/how-to-grow.
        If you know what you'd like to grow it will tell you, month by month, how to do it.
