    help - I've lost them all

    Poor you. I know what mothers are like - I am one. However, you can still plant lettuce, radish, and many other salady thingies. I put the last of my runner beans in a few days ago, and my haricot beans (Yin yang) are still on my bench. You can always cheat and see what the local garden centers have in pots...I have even seen carrots ready to plant out. Yes, they can go in also. How did it happen? Anyroadup, I am sure some some of the viners have other suggestions too.

      I think they drowned, I left them out when we had that heavy rain, I emptied the excess water out but they didnt make it, can I start to grow beets again?

        Homebase

        Homebase and places like that have a lot of 'grow your own' veggies and herbs on reduced just now.

        I've bought herbs, peas and a few other things like Rainbow Chard all for less than half price this weekend.

        How gutting for you though ((((((hugs))))))

            What a shame Nickiwitch. Yes, it sounds as though they drowned - lesson learned.

            Yes you can replant. They were only seedlings so the next sowing will only be a few weeks behind - don't drown them. And the garden centres are still full of ready grown stuff for planting. Good luck.

              It's not too late to sow seeds - although I'd do it sooner rather than later. I'm just sowing all my winter crops just now - savoy and winter cabbage, PSB, swedes, kale etc. Though I am still making succesive sowings of Purple Top Milan Turnips, radish, lettuces, carrots etc.
