  • Webpage for plant growing times?

    Is there anything online which tells you roughly how long it takes for something to grow? I know on the back of a packet it has planting and harvesting times but it doesn't say "this plant will grow in about 3 months" or something like that.

    Any ideas? Was wondering whether if I take it from the first sowing month to the first harvesting month that would give me the time lapse I'm looking for?

    Hi

    I've moved your thread out of Growing Techniques into an appropriate board.

    Many Thanks

      Yes That's how I work it out. I have a rough guide in one of my veg growing books, but really it depends on the variety (a 'mini' cabbage will grow quicker than a savoy for instance) so the seed packet is the best source of info.

        Thanks Will go by that then. My book I would have looked in I can't find!

        Sorry wasn't sure what board to post on!

          well...it's a bit like a 'how long is a piece of string' I'm afraid!

          This is the only chart I've ever seen if it's any help....

          Scheduling Vegetable Plantings for Continuous Harvest

          You see- if you plant indoors - or outdoors - or in the late spring/early summer, the germination times will alter due to the temperature difference.
          Also- outdoor growing times will be affected by temperatures /soil quality /aspect and variety of the veg ( my 18day radish aren't ready yet one month later- if you see what I mean???)

          I hope that American chart is a rough guide though!

            Thank you. It's just to get a rough idea of what veg take longer than the other so if I want to plant slower growing ones between the faster growing ones in the raised bed I can

              Yes, go by the seed packet.
              Or, Dr Hessayon's Vegetable Expert gives you approx growing times too.

                  There's a chart here which should match the back of seed packets but since this is all together it will save you looking through lots of seed packets!!
