Planted out seedlings, potatoes etc
  • Baby Corn - plant in rows
  • Sweetcorn - plant in blocks/squares: In each square of 18" X 15" plant 1 sweetcorn seed in each corner. Each corner is known as a "station". If planting from seed put 2 seeds at each station and thin out the weakest.
  • Potatoes 'Foremost' - plant in furrows 12" apart. Do not fill the furrows over the potatoes with earth initially. As they start growing keep putting earth to cover part of the shoot. This will encourage more tubers to develop
  • Beetroot: Two types of beetroot seed - Monogerm or cluster
    • Monogerm 'Monopoly
    • Cluster 'Boltardy'
  • Cauliflower - Plant 1' apart
  • Dwarf beans
  • Squashes
