May In The Vegie Patch – Sow
Direct sow
Greencrops – lupins, broadbeans, phacelia, wheat, oats, mustard or barley. Kings Seeds Autumn Manure Mix is awesome. Grow as many greencrops as you can fit. Here’s how to sow a greencrop.
Corn salad and miners lettuce – sweet little winter/ spring cut and come again greens. Sow them once, let them self seed and have winter greens every year.
Broadbeans, peas, snow peas, spinach, bok choy, rocket, kale, coriander, radish.
In the greenhouse sow salads, leafy greens, beetroot and plant potatoes.
Good companions like calendula, poppies, cornflowers, larkspur and sweetpeas (must have sweetpeas!)
Tray sow
Onions. If you get the chance to play with growing onions – go for it! There’s no greater sense of pride than in your home grown onions.
Salads. Plant them under cover where they’ll grow nice and quickly. Use a cloche, a bit of frost cloth, an old window, a greenhouse or on the porch.
Broccoli and cabbage. Even though growth slows right down from now in its still worth it to keep planting brassicas.
