The celery will take a certain amount of frost so the outside stems can be picked throughout the winter for use in stews ans soups.<br />It is nearly time to plant garlic and autumn planted shallots, a bed could be given over to each of those. I have the seed bulbs here.I also have a load of asparagus seedlings I have been growing on over the summer. Fancy an asparagus bed?<br />The salad crops like Mizuna and Rocket will germinate now and give a crop over the autumn. Lettuce is worth a go aswell. It grows slower as the light levels and temperatures drop so a large sowing will provide a modest return but still better than having an empty bed. I have much seed here.(tip I learned this year, a mulch of grass cuttings surrounding the newly sown seed reduces slug damage)Nick Vowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445821738350116544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469873158736944919.post-59997447410860761792010-09-27T22:10:04.045+01:002010-09-27T22:10:04.045+01:00When did we put Jerusalem artichokes in?
