The leeks were planted from seed on 12th March last year- so have been in a whole year. The broccoli was planted from seed in the greenhouse on 22nd March last year. I've learnt from experience @clothmama that if they don't produce by the end of the summer leave them in ( if you have space) over winter and they may produce early spring. Although will they now be upset by the sudden cold?
The plan is to grow much the same as last year:
Greenhouse:
Cherry tomatoes
Yellow tomatoes
Cucumber
Aubergine
Yellow pepper
With the addition of larger tomatoes and will buy some more mini munch cucumber seeds as they were tastier cucumbers.
Outside:
Carrots - but plant more as kids loved them ( I know I can buy cheap carrots but the kids preferred the home grown)
Onions - they failed last year
Spinach
Little gem lettuce
Corgette
Peas
Runner beans
Patty pan squash
Butternut squash
Potatoes in a bag
Squash and courgette didn't do that well last year- I wonder if they ll be better in the raised bed - they have only succeeded in there. The slugs eat everything- that might be one good thing about this cold snap!
I had planted cucumber and tomato seeds in the greenhouse on 24th Feb last year.
