Fruit & Veg Patch

I've recently aquired a larger plot at the fiance's parents garden and will be double digging this weekend (weather permitting ). I have been reading around the subject and am struggling to find anything to grow over the winter months. I'm currently growing broccoli, lettuce, salad onion and carrots in a seed tray in a zip up greenhouse which are all doing well (i'll be transplanting these to my veg patch). I've also got some raddish in a plug tray outside which are growing rapidly! I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what else i could grow now and in the next few months to keep me busy! Also any tips you have would be appreciated! :D

 

Hi Andy,

Always great to see such enthusiasm.

My blog might give you some ideas, and you are bound to get loads of replies on here.

Shout if you want any specific info !

 

Andy, apart from winter cabbage, spring cabbage, sprouts, calabrese and "All The Year Round" cauliflowers you can sow or plant (in September)garlic and broad beans ( something like Aquadulce or Bunyards Exhibition). Between now and then you could sow some Early Onward peas which will give you a crop in the Autumn. And of course your shallots should be planted (traditionally) on the shortest day which I think is the 21st Dec. You should also sow you onion seeds on Boximg Day. David.
