Another month has passed us by, and the worst of the weather and last frost should have, hopefully, been and gone. Temperatures and daylight hours increase this month meaning lots of our Christmas vegetables - Brussels Sprouts, Leeks and Swede - sown or grown back in April and May, are now ready to be transplanted into the garden.
Since sowing the first of the Christmas vegetable seeds back in April lots of exciting developments should have happened and now plants some can be transplanted outside or to their final growing positions. Additional Christmas vegetables can be sown now including swede, carrots and red cabbage. If you didn’t have time to sow your own vegetables or they weren’t successful there are lots of vegetable plug plants available.
