| Leeks and potatoes: produce from the veg patch today (January 8th). |
Below is a chronology of my planting activities which I will add to throughout the year:
3rd January: first sowing, of onion sets and garlic.
22nd January: first early carrot seeds planted
February: first early potatoes (Maris bard variety)
March:
I have been hard at work in the veg patch over the weekends, and on any light evenings when I am home from work early enough, so have really got ahead with my planting this month. Already sown in the veg patch are:
Parsnips
Carrots
Webbs lettuce
Beetroot
turnips
onion sets
radishes
As it has been such warm weather this March, I have pressed ahead with some early planting of beans etc, hopeful that any frosts will not be ruinous. In raised beds, to grow as seedlings before planting on, this month I have done first plantings of:
broad beans
French dwarf beans
French climbing beans
Runner beans
peas
Swiss chard
Lollo rosso lettuce
coriander
rocket
