Gardening Tips

Sow

Direct sow

• Lupin greencrops after heavy feeders like broccoli. Mix with a few others like phacelia, mustard, daikon, calendula – whatever you have to hand.

• I sow rocket and coriander in the greenhouse from now on in, but if its warm enough at yours – get some outside.

Tray Sow

• Peas and snowpeas into plug trays or toliet rolls
• A mixture of brassicas to keep dinners varied – broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, collards for example.
• Spring onions, red or brown onions
