Use the Greenhouse

 

 Use the Greenhouse 

Autumn is upon us, however it is not too late for sowing a few crops outdoors, like lettuce and carrots.. If you have a greenhouse or a poly-tunnel you can make good use of it – even if you have a few  tomatoes in the ground. 

Sow early carrots, turnips and  beetroot for a quick crop that would be ready mid to end November.

Also good to continue with successional sowings of lettuce which do remarkably well under cover as the year cools down. Keep a space for a some spring onions too – White Lisbon Winter Hardy .

I grow my Taunton Dean kale in containers and bring them in when the weather starts to get bad. The idea is to keep the birds off  the crop. 

You can also use containers for all the above crops it gives you option to grow inside if the weather is too harsh, just move them under cover.
