I can't really sow in modules as watering is a problem, so I do like the brassicas - make a little clump of them then replant them out in rows. I don't know if they are ready but there is a small patch that seems to be doing quite well (Cheltenham Greentop, lovely flavour). I am sowing Monoruba this week for a late crop.
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

Excellent... I have some white, golden and "dobies purple" to come... but not eating any yet.  :)

I sowed all mine in modules and quite early too.

Chioggia bolted and had poor germination for golden

Cooked some the other day and I must say that the white beetroot (detroit) were much sweeter and yet milder than the Merlin.  As was the single golden beetroot.

Lots more sown and hoping for more white and golden.

I use toilet roll holders and make newspaper ones as well. Both bio-degrade easily in the soil. Maybe these are not strictly modules as such,but they do a really good job,the secret being how to master watering up to germination with them falling apart ;)
