When I sow swede they always come up really quickly.  Anyone any idea if it's too late to sow some more?

The usual sowing time is May/June, but try it as you've nothing to lose by doing so!
Flighty's plot,  http://flightplot.wordpress.com,  is my blog.

They come up quickly because they are brassicas... but I find they need a long season to get to a decent size. Winter Radish germinate quickly (being another brassica) but swell up faster... similar use.  :-\

Mine says end of July, I would get them in quick, as Saddad says they do need a long growing season, mine went to six weeks ago.  ;D ;D ;D
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.
