Early Market - very unthinned!

Will they still be growing?

I can't imagine they'll put any more weight on now Tim, unless its very mild in your neck of the woods.

I have some Chantenay which went in a bit late and they're stuck at the same stage.

I had some very late Autumn King under fleece last year and they grew slowly until March, as we ate them they were getting bigger!

It might be worth covering them, to get the temperature up, and leaving them through the winter(watering if under polythene).  See if they grow through the winter, or take off early next spring.

No lose effort if you can spare the space

Put down slug pellets as you might just be making a winter wonderland for them with food :)

Cover? Yes - there is a canopy support for fleece.

Slugs? Yes - since it's covered it's safe.
