Last sowings

Just a few more sowings this week to keep the supply of fresh greens going.

Lettuce Little Gem & Lobjoits Green Cos. There are loads of lettuce varieties and any are worth trying but these two are hard to beat.

Spring Onion White Lisbon. Again there are lots of varieties including red ones and some that are half way to being an onion. The shop bought ones always seem quite tough compared to homegrown spring onions.

Spring Cabbage. For the more adventurous gardener, it means looking after your cabbage plants through the winter which can be a bit of a challenge here in the north, but worth trying under cover of cloches.
