MANY gardeners are quick to start sowing as soon as spring arrives, although the wiser often leave it a little later. Either way, by now our beds are full, so few consider doing much more sowing right now. Yet space will soon become available as early spuds are dug, garlic harvested and onions wither.
Sometimes, as with the maturing onions, you can sow between the existing crop before it’s finished; otherwise, you can sow in pots and cells to plant out later as spaces appear.
Most fast-to-mature crops like salad leaves and soft herbs, radishes, beetroots, turnips, and baby carrots can be sown now.
