rocket
planting for the winter
19/07/09 14:02
I’m trying to make sure that we have
vegetables this winter and so I’ve been planting up swiss chard
(Fordhook Giant), lettuce (winter crop) and spinach (giant winter).
I’ve also planted a row of mixed salads, including rocket.
We’ve just eaten the last of the broad beans, I’ll definitely sow some more late this autumn for next year.
This year July is wet but sunny and hot when not raining.

sowing more seeds (successional planting)
21/04/08 08:06
I have spent weeks meaning to create a
planting diary showing me when to plant successional plants. This
weekend I failed (again) and decided to sow some new seeds of stuff
that I want anyway but ran out of time. So, tonight as Gill made
supper, I went out and pottered in the greenhouse. The result was a
row each of green beans (Sonesta), rocket (Suffolk Herbs salad
rocket), beetroot (Detroit 2), parsnip and broad bean.
Having lost a lot of green beans, I first put the soil in, damped it off, planted the seeds and then sprinkled a thin layer of soil over the top. The tray is under a lid in the greenhouse, but not in the propagator. I'll see how it goes.
