Growing Your Own Veg

It’s a case of trail and error when you first get an allotment. Growing from seed can sometimes fail mainly due to the seeds being good or bad. They tend to go out of date and then they don’t germinate. The other problem is whether they grow small to start with. For example cauliflower grows small and needs to be re potted a couple of times. I made the mistake of re planting into the ground to early. Also when planting out soak the soil before planting plants out it helps.

I also needed to cover small plants with netting and a tube to protect young shoots.

Covering young veg shoots is essential as you can loose a lot of small shoots.
