too late for swede?

last night all of my swede seedlings were eaten by slugs, is it too late to sow more?

    I think it might be. Don't they need 6 months to mature?

    Agree, they need a long growing season.  You have time to sow beetroot, chinese and winter cabbage and I've had crops of kholrabbi when sown this late.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
  • thanks very much, will try some of those other crops instead!
