Welcome to March

The following sowing dates are at weekends in the UK in 2024.

My Vegetable Garden is located in the East of England, UK so timings may be different for your area of the UK or world.

My Greenhouse is in the sunniest spot in the garden and it is sheltered on two sides by a fence. 

My Vegetable Garden Plan 2024

I bought too many Onions so these have been moved into the Squash area. Squashes will be grown in large barrel planters instead.
