I'm planning on planting some beetroot in modules to start off in my 4 tier mini plastic greenhouse.
Is it too early to be doing this (Suffolk) ??

I've done the same, this afternoon and I'm in E.Sussex. Mind you, my mini greenhouse is also in my s/e facing porch. I can't see it being a problem as I've found beetroot to be pretty hardy.Sent from my pc cos I don't have an i-phone. -
Thanks - at least I wont be the only one! Worth a go I guess....Comment

What's the hurry? It's best to allow plants to grow continuously rather than have a possible setback with a cold snap which may result in less than optimum yields.Comment

I'm just getting itchy green fingers ! I sowed outside in my raised beds at this time last year and the crop was very poor. Thought I'd try on modules in the mini-greenhouse now, and then sow more outside at the end of March / early april. More of an experiment really...Originally posted by Capsid View PostComment

That's OK, we get experimenters every year ~ they never seem to come back to tell us of their great successes though

I did mine in paper pots end of Feb last year and by the time I planted them in end of March they were a good size and they were up and eaten by end of June, I also sowed straight to the bed and they were not as good as the weather so bad!Originally posted by gingerneil View Post
So experimenting sometimes works when the norm has problems.Comment
