Growing by Season

[MaryN]

Good on you, Lads. Nice to hear people are interested in gardening. It's worth bearing in mind that some seeds are heat sensitive. If you plant them too early they sulk and refuse to germinate. Not everyone has the conditions used by the big Dutch growers, so it is worth assessing what conditions you are able to provide. Last year was a bust for me as far as tomatoes were concerned. If I had stuck with the Alicante and Moneymaker toms I would have had a better harvest, but I love Brandywine and I'll be persevering this year in hope. I'm also hopeful of getting a good crop of haricot beans. This is another heat sensitive crop, so it is worth waiting for the soil to warm up a bit.

Happy growing.
