some varieties of vegetables that you could try growing; in a small
dedicated patch; or perhaps amongst your flower borders; grown in
containers or even hanging baskets! |

Yields are also improved with this variety through a good resistance to disease.

An excellent variety for "Baby Leeks" which provide a mild-tasting alternative to spring onions - sow the seeds direct in their main growing positions in the spring (there's no need to thin or transplant them) and harvest the leeks through the summer.

Pak Choi can be grown all year round, however, it grows best in the spring and the autumn and must be grown in fertile moist soil. Sow outside March - August, for continuous summer salads. If you want to grow some onto maturity, use thinnings for salads, until the plants have been thinned to about 9" and you will produce some nice plants for cooking ie: stir-fry or steaming. Sow under protection Feb - early April for spring crop and August - early October for autumn/winter crop. |
|||
 |

Rubi (Brassica
rapa chinensis) |
