Well everyone reckons we're about 6 weeks behind so its worth a try for most things. Maybe a bit late for sprouts tho' ......S*d the housework I have a lottie to dig

I Just ordered more seeds today, id agree about the sprouts though, you might be able to get a few plug plants though?
But yeah im just pretending we're in May still in terms of what im sowing... im picking varieties that are hardy though just incase the summer stays winter-like.Comment

I'd guess you're safe with some varieties of sprouting broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. Also maybe khol rabi? I'm still sowing all sorts of stuff

Good move, Bins - you've given me the idea of 'filling the gaps' of where the germination was patchy with more parsnip seed - I'll take the rest of the seed packet to the Hill tomorrow evening.Originally posted by binley100 View Postand I've just had an all or nothing sowing of parsnips

I sowed some cauliflower at the weekend. Reckon you might be okay with some kale too, if you're quick.Comment
