Late seed sowing

Recently checked the dates in the past when I sowed carrots, Beetroot, spring onions, etc etc. A few years I did that in mid Feb but mostly in first week in March. I used cloches and fleece and had runner beans growing under home made poly tunnels by Verdun

Raised beds depth

growing medium is getting deeper. Right from the start I could grow root veg like beetroot, but I always grow potatoes in potato bags for the depth. My raised beds are relatively shallow owing to the poor soil and the fact that we have had to put top soil by movingpictureTV.com

Stony and hard ground

I would love to grow a few vegetables and fruit but the ground is hard, stony and full of grass, weeds and moss. Apparently it probably has never seen a spade in it's live and neighbour reckons I'll end up with a sore back if I try and dig it over by Chickenmama

Talkback: Growing salad crops

as bringing different textures. I also grow radicchio but this year I'm branching out and growing various salad mixes. I use rocket on its own occasionally but more often as a highlight. Beetroot leaves are good and pea shoots too. Baby spinach leaves by patricia nicholls

Starting seeds indoors

especially with tender veg like tomatoes-they wiil need good allround light to grow stocky plants Leeks and beetroot dont need heat to germinate-they would be better started off in the lean to-so you get strong- not soft growth from being too warm Ah ok great by Bf206

what to intercrop with squash?

Hi, I've planted up 5 or 6 squash plants in a 2x1m raised bed. They're still little plants as yet, which leaves quite a lot of soil bare! What could I intercrop with them? Would beetroot / carrots be quick enough, or would they get shaded out by General Disarray

Cabbage 'Greyhound'

Have a few 'Greyhound' cabbage and the centres all look like this one in the photo. I'm wondering if it's a fungus and if I will lose them? Does anyone know what this is and what I should do? I grow Greyhounds every year and if I didn't know by yarrow2
