what can i plant now in august ? can i still grow cabbages to harvest this year and what else. i want to try to be able use the allotment all year round if possible.
I am in west yorkshire .soil on the acid side . but have had great results with brassicas/potatoes etc.
I think beetroot, radish, mooli, oriental leaves
There are always lots of people asking this question. try a search and see some of the recent answers to questions like these.
I've just planted more carrots, beetroot, bunching onions, broccoli raab and fennel which I bought particulary because they were varieties that said they could be planted into August. If you want to sent me a SAE I can let you have some fennel seeds and broccoli raab seeds as have got some of these left over and could spare you some.
think we can add leeks to the list?
If you only want "mini-leeks" or the season stays good longer.. :)
Have a look at these two recent topics!
