Winter Veg bed completed
Many of you will know that I have committed to trying to extend the harvesting season in my garden by growing some more Autumn / Winter vegetables. This is not to say that I never grow any Winter veg – I do. For instance, for the last two years I have grown some Brussels Sprouts, which have been really worthwhile, but my skills in this area are improving with practice, and I want to do more. Last year, my Brussels Sprouts looked great until the dreaded Cabbage White butterflies arrived. From then onwards it was a constant battle between them and me – and one in which I was not totally successful. This year I have netted my Sprouts almost from the start, so I have “stolen a march” on the butterflies!
As you can see, the Sprouts have got pretty big already.
The two smaller “Tenderstem” Broccoli plants in the middle of the bed had better get a move on, otherwise their light will all be blocked off!
Elsewhere, I have one of my six main raised beds devoted entirely to Winter Veg. In it I now have 7 Cabbages (of 3 types), 16 Leeks (“Toledo”), and 4 Swede Turnips (“Ruby”).
This is “Caramba”:
And this is “Tundra”, its Savoy parentage already showing in the crinkly and saw-edged leaves:
