Edible Perennial Gardening author,
Anni Kelsey, shares what she will be sowing and growing this March and April.
The glorious early days of spring –
light, bright and filled with hope and promise, send many of us rushing outside
to begin sowing and planting.
I relish the opportunities presented
at this time of year, however as there are so many different things I could
grow and space is limited I have to choose carefully. I want to use the space
available to best effect whilst expanding my horizons. So I tend to stick to my
favourites that I know work plus a few new things to try out.
To increase my stock of my favourite
perennial vegetables I will be sowing and growing:
• Seeds of skirret, scorzonera,
Welsh onion, bunching onions, dahlia, wild rocket, leaf beet, asparagus, earth
nut pea and a selection of kales including nine star perennial broccoli, red
Russian kale, wild cabbage, walking stick kale and trouve Tronchuda.
I always like to experiment with new
things as well so I will be finding room to squeeze in some experimental grains
– mixed amaranths and quinoa and also herbs for seed production – cumin,
coriander, fennel and nigella.
The tubers will be planted up in pots
in March and kept out of the frost until they can be safely planted
outside.
I am likely to defer sowing
vegetable, herb and grain seeds until early April or later. In many previous
years I have eagerly sown seed from the first week of March only to find out
that they took up to a month to germinate. Later sowings made in April quickly
caught up or overtook.
Even though we have had a warm start
to March, I plan to stick to this schedule as nobody can be sure what will come
next weather wise.
