    Speedy Veg - 2 Month Challenge!!

    Stuck at home for 2 months?
    Don't know what to do with the kids - or yourself?

    Grab a few pots and some seeds and let's see whether we can grow these veggies together "in less than 2 Months".

      I have most of them (not turnips) on the go already - but I'll sow some more - maybe side by side in a planter that I can move outside now that its Spring.

        I've sown Early Nantes carrots in the greenhouse along with radish and lettuce. Peas in root trainers will also go in the ground inside the greenhouse, we will have cress and mustard in the sandwiches tomorrow. Spring onions sowed out side under fleece.

            Carrots, spinach and lettuce are underway in the hotbed (also beetroot), lettuce, spinach and pea shoots at home. I've decided against turnips for now as they usually get wasted due to me preferring other veg.

                  I grew turnip snowball last year. They taste like turnip .

                  I’ve taken some photos & sown more seeds. I’ll report back later. The sun is still shining so I’m off to play in my garden some more

                    Radish are sown, 9 varieties of them

                    Sown more cut & come type salad Tuscan & hot ‘n’ spicy, more peas for shoots and 3 varieties of beetroot. Might get some baby roots if I’m lucky in the 2 months time frame.

                    Here’s my salad that was sown on the 4th March

                    While getting some homemade compost for my radish tubs. I found a chard growing from last years root sock, that I’d ripped out last autumn. So he’s now planted in the tunnel bed. It’ll probably just bolt, but I might get a few early leaves off him.
                    He look healthier in real life, photo made him very yellow.

                        Having had a similar thought, I sent off for some spring onion seeds, only to read on here that they take months to produce a crop. Invested in some spinach seeds today, hopefully I can get some baby leaves to eat with my early tomatoes.

                            Radish and lettuce leaves sown earlier in the month are coming up under a small poly cover. (As are the carrots, peas and broadies in the cold frame.) my over wintered radish are coming on great and I shall start harvesting soon I hope.

                            Off to dig out the rocket, turnip and spinach seeds...
