Warm Up The Veg Plot

Take action now to get crops like courgettes, squashes and outdoor tomatoes off to flying start this spring.

ACCORDING to the old saying, there’s no use sowing until you see weeds turning the surface fuzzy green with emerging seedlings. This is so true: if weeds will not grow, nothing will. And more to the point, even when weeds have started it’s still only warm enough for the hardiest vegetables – the likes of carrots, cabbages and broad beans, which are derived from natives, or are long used to our erratic cool springs.
