In fact I need to plant less I have more difficulty growing carrots lol. All ways get a load spare each year im new ish to veg and couldnt agree more about sticking to what works for you ! ive tried early and late with a lot of things the last few years and doing exactly that! somethings i started early didnt work as well and vice versa, i think you need to try various and stick to what works for you in your exact location ! even a few miles or less can make a huge difference ,were very exposed to the wind here but 500 yards away no problem ,last year i was just a couple of weeks later then the year before with some crops and had a poor year ,trial and error then the weather !!!!!!! if it was the same every year we would have nowt to talk about and get bored with it , i cant do carrots either if its any consolation lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
