FIRST SOWING OF SUMMER RADISH
Radishes do not grow well in hot conditions so they are one of
the earliest vegetables to be sown. Make a shallow drill in to
raised bed soil and place some seed in a row. The seed will be very
fine so try not to sow too many. Cover the seeds with a small layer
of soil and water them in gently.

FIRST SOWING OF CARROTS
Carrots are cool weather vegetables so will stand being sown
before the last frost is due. Our main carrot article, which can be
found here,
explains two methods of sowing carrots in containers and raised
beds. Succession sowing is the best advice to avoid a glut of
carrots all at the same time. The next task in growing carrots in
containers and raised beds can be found here in our calendar. Sow
the carrot seed in a grove made in the soil which is roughly 2cm /
¾in deep. sow the see thinly to reduce the need of thinning the
seedlings out later. When sown, the seedlings should appear
in ten days time depending on the weather conditions.
LAST CHANCE TO SOW GARLIC
The
very best time to plant garlic is in late autumn but it will still
produce a crop if planted up to early March, now. Read out full
article on planting garlic which can be found
here.
