Vegetable Gardening

Winter

Prepare good garden beds before planting winter vegetables such as Cauliflower, Cabbage and Broccoli. Dig plenty of organic compost and manure into the soil and then apply a good dressing of lime, as most soils in the area are slightly acid and brassicas like a neutral Ph. Plant Onions, Shallots, Peas, Parsnips, more cabbage for continuity, Chinese Cabbage and Celery. Broccoli and Cauliflower planted early will be harvested by July/August. Plant more seedlings every 6 weeks for a succession right up to Christmas.
