    When to sow these seeds?

    I bought some Rebekah's Vegetable Seeds at a garden show, but there are no sowing dates on them. I keep putting them to one side, but seems daft not to sow them!

    Can anyone help?

    Kale-dwarf blue curled
    Kale - nero di toscana
    cabbage - offenham 2 flower of spring
    oriental tree spinach
    chrysanthemum - chopsuey greens

    You can sow the spring cabbage right now, but I can't help with the others I'm afraid.

      The kales - april/may
      While wearing your night clothes, plant cucumbers on the 1st May before the sun comes up, and they will not be attacked by bugs.

          Hamsterqueen, I've a packet of Nero di toscana (one of the freebies from GYO mag) - the instructions on the pack say sow indoors March-May, planting seedlings out in June, or sow direct outdoors April-May. Spacing 18 inches between plants (less spacing if only baby leaves are required). Harvest from September to the following March.

            Thanks so much!

            Just found ( on another pack of seeds at back of box) Nero di Toscana can also be sown July to Sept for a crop of baby leaf Kale, so may give it a go as I'm quite far South

              If in doubt, sow when the spring is warming up: April.
