    help needed for early veg!

    hi there, i have always been interested in growing veg as have been brought up with fresh organic veg from my mum and have got the bug...when i say bug i am really really interested in it!have no experience atal!
    unfortunatley my mum lives in spain now and its difficult to get advice on what to grow when.....i sound stupid ino (as ino its on the packet) but can anyone give me advice on what the first veg to grow would be in what month? i do have a small greenhouse as i dabbled in a few things last year....ie lettace, garlic but that was all i managed.
    any help would be higly apprecated!
    thank you

    Radish grow really quickly in the spring. I think my first meal cooked with veg from the plot was stir fried radish, baby carrot and courgette, and it was lovely.

      hi i found this website a while ago

      www.thegardenersalmanac.co.uk

      and it has planners on there telling you when is the best time to plant certain things. But i don't know whether its correct or not

      Last year was my first year on growing my own but like you i have grown up with having my father and grandfather grow there own veg and my dad told me alot of what he knows which is different to what it says on there.

      But its a guide for you to look at hope it helps

          There is also a sowing chart on here somewhere, if you do a search?

                It's very cold just now Stace but you could try some lettuce, rocket,spring onions and pea shoots on the windowsill.
                Once we get into Feb and there's a bit more light, since you have a greenhouse you could try some early carrots - they do quite well in pots, and some potatoes in buckets.
                I think Pak Choi wold do OK in the greenhouse in Feb and they would give you a very quick crop.
                Also chillies and peppers could be started on the windowsill now.
                And there's the early tomato experiment we're running on here. It's not too late to join in.
                Good luck.
