What are you having out the garden at the moment?
Transplanting beetroots is the way to get early beets. Sown under cover in modules in late Feb & planted out as soon as the weather allows in March, you can be eating them from April/May.
ReplyDeleteI also do this with purple kohl rabi as the early ones seem less inclined to turn 'woody' & are tasty sliced into early season salads. Clumps of early summer variety leeks are easy to grow this way too.
Wow I'm super impressed by the beetroot. Love the stuff so I'll be looking at doing the same.
ReplyDeletewow...great harvest kev! i'm getting kale, lettuce, cucumbers and sorrel. we've been having lots of rain but next week should be sunny so i think things will grow like crazy. i should have beans soon.
ReplyDeleteWow, now I feel bad about the post I just did. Well, it's still pretty early here. We're eating asparagus, lots of salads and some cooking greens. A few radishes. Also, fresh herbs!
ReplyDeleteThat beet tart is beautiful.
Your lettuces look really good. I've done a lot better with them this year than last. I have sewn some Choggia seeds but also have some bolt hardy ones growing very well. Looking forward to pickling it again this year.
ReplyDeleteI just picked a bunch of asparagus out of my little garden and also some rhubarb.
ReplyDeleteCan't plant anything else here yet till the first of June.
Very nice lettuce!!! And the beets look great! Nothing ready to harvest here yet, but I did get the tomatoes transplanted into containers today. :)
