  • Edible perennials to sow March/April

    An interesting and useful article that has me rummaging through my seed packets.

    Anyone else going to sow some of these now?

    Just sown Welsh Onions. Excuse my ignorance but how is leaf beet perennial? Is that perpetual spinach with the seed stems removed when they appear?

      Does this help - or confuse even further?

        I've got some Welsh onion seeds on their way to me in the post (hopefully). I'm growing Red Russian kale but I didn't know you could treat it as a perennial. It's currently making flower buds. Do you think I should let it flower, or pick off (and eat of course) the bud shoots?

        Endless wonder.

          I just pricked out my red russian kale seedlings (note to self....waiting for true leaves before pricking out was a mistake...seedling roots totally tangled) and sowed perpetual spinach last week as fodder for the chooks.
          I have welsh onions in pots that norfolk grey sent to me (thank you)
          and I planted rhubarb yesterday....doing tayberries tomorrow.

          So yes, lots of perennials...some of which I was pretty sure were annuals

            Have sown aztec broccoli, kales(sutherland,friesian and red russian), magenta orach and 2 sea kales-anger and crambe cordiflora. Will post as I sow more.
            No matter:the allotment is lovely, the tadpoles have legs, my sea kale has germinated and I am glad to be home.
