I have bought a load of seeds at Wyevale the 50p variety fantastic value and wonder if i can plant any now as i know i have asked previously if i can plant anything in Aug/Sept
I bought
Carrots- Maestro and new red intermediate
Parsnip- Gladiator and Albion
Savoy- January King
Cabbage - Kalibos and Tundra
Turnip-Snowball
Swede-Marian
Beetroot-Kestral
Brussell-Cromwell and Falstaff
I know the packets say plant out in May/June so is it really worth trying to plantthem now or should i be getting sepcific Autumn veg that i guess i would order on line as Wyevale and alike doen't seem to do
I've just put random carrots in and they look to be doing well - doubt that they'll make it to full size but I'll just behappy with a nice quick crop of baby carrots before the weather goes.
I did beetroot at this time last year and they did well.
Likewise the turnips that I put in last month are going well: baby turnips again.
I think that you might be a little late for sprouts and parsnips, but with the limitted life of parsnip seeds I guess you'll not lose too much by trying.
Just pit in some onions and garlic in a raised bed :)
Got our overwinter sets today but won't be in for a while yet! :)
