Lettuce

For the last two years have been experimenting with growing winter varieties of lettuce. Worked well last year sowing seed at the beginning of October, transferring to the Green Room where they grew very slowly over winter and then provided harvestable leaves in very early Spring.

The first set of sowing this year was nipped off by slugs in the Greenhouse (and looking back, the same thing happened last year!) The second sowing was given more protection and were fit to move to the Green Room on the penultimate day of the month.

Radish

On the very first day of the month pulled the first of the Scarlet Glode radishes which were sown right at the start of September.
