I have been going through my seeds and a few do not advise when best to plant outside in a greenhouse.
-coriander
-sunburst ( small flat round plate shaped squash I believe)
-Gherkins
-Red Cabbage
-one ball courgette
-mustard
-Rossa di treviso radicchio
-and papaya pear squash
Please can anyone help
Thank you
Casy,
As you're just south of me, I would suggest mid April. This awful weather should change by then & the nights may be mild enough to avoid 'damping off'.
I have an unheated greenhouse & will not start summer plants until then.
Good luck!
I don't put courgettes/squash out until mid May.
I've got most of my leaf brassicas sown and at the 1" high seedling stage. When they're a bit bigger I'll prick them out, then pot on into 6" pots, and hopefully plant them out at the beginning of June. I should have sweetcorn, outdoor cucumber, and outdoor tomatoes to go out then as well.
The coriander, cabbage and Mustard will do fine now, even up here in Derby.. the rest April for May outside.. poss even early June if there are late frosts..
;D
The Raddichio is best sown in July to grow in the late Summer into Winter... might bolt if sown too early...

i will hijack the thread a bit: what about red cabbage? I don't have greenhouse or coldframe, just indoors outdoors. Should I sow them now in a seed tray? Or will they survive direct sowing in a seed bed?? I think they are called red jewel, they are an autumn, early winter variety
