Hello , we are going away twice in March so have decided not sow until April , friends will water for us but 1 tends to over waters and other under waters , so thought best to leave it
For winter veg I'll be sowing Leek's, cauli (that's a first), celeriac, turnip/swede, Chad, Brussels, kale and broccoli. For a winter crop some won't be sown till July/August. Celeriac, cauli and Brussels though will need to be sown March/April time.
GWRS one of the nice things about sowing later is your crop will be a little later, I was still picking veg in October last year
Had to look again then at what is in Thursday as not all gardening stuff I was looking at, where were the tools - now found them may get a sieve, shame no hand fork - the cultivator hoe or double hoe does really well that I have
Zoomer44 I have the red Spears and Jackson fork is really strong

A fan of garden line tools shame they don't do big forks, I've gone through at least three, they keep bending
