It’s August and there’s still time to sow Vegetables to eat before Winter in December and there’s still time to sow seeds to bag a Spring Harvest.
Also now is the time to Pre-order your Onion Sets & Garlic Online (if you are in the UK) ready to plant in November to Harvest July & August next year.
Top Tip ! Many online retailers sell out of the ever popular Elephant Garlic where each individual clove is the size of a normal bulb of garlic. It is a mild tasting garlic and I intend to grow it this year so I’m pre-ordering it!
