Winter veg growing

Good morning all

Is there any way to grow carrots, etc in winter, for example in my conservatory or kitchen? My conservatory does get cold in winter if the sun isn't on it but my kitchen is warm all year round with the Aga

Thanks

 

Hi Loofah
I'll most certainly have light issues in the kitchen. :( would the best way at this time of year to get good honest veg (ie not supermarket veg) still be farm shops?

 

I also spend so much on groceries every week, I need to cut back without cutting back on good food

 

I was going to try something in my cold greenhouse as well this yr as its the first yr I have a greenhouse

 

Probably a bit late to be sowing them, but Carrot frubund is a winter variety. Amongst the people I know who have grown them there have been mixed results, and you won't get a crop until the Spring, but if you are successful it will be earlier than other varieties of Carrot.

Other than that Amsterdam Forcing is amongst the earliest varieties you can sow (February sowing is possible I think)

 

Seed sprouts might be a better option for fresh greens, a tablespoon of Alfalfa seeds will produce a humungous amount of greens. Used to do them in an old sweet jar

 

Thanks everyone I'm determined to get some good veg growing in the next year
