Vegetable Growing Month by Month

The down-to-earth guide that takes you through the vegetable year by me, John Harrison - more info.

Chitting Potatoes

Last year we used the spare bedroom but this year the twinwall polycarb greenhouse is pressed into service.

It tends to hold the heat well so unless there is a sharp frost all will be well. I can always bring them in overnight if frost threatens.

Liming

Raising the PH (making the soil less acid) releases nutrients so helping crops to grow. You need to get the level right and this varies for different crops.

So this part of plot 5 recieved a good dusting of lime - looks quite pretty in white.
