August and Everything After

Shortening days is not all bad news!

As the nights start to noticeably draw in, it's easy to feel like everything is coming to an end.
Whilst this may be true for some things in the allotment, shorter day length means we can again start sowing those 'long day' plants which over the summer months have been nearly impossible to keep from running to seed..

Take a look at the list opposite for an easy list of things to sow now. All seeds available for around £1 each at Tamar Organics.
Organic veggies on a budget!

Sow all of these in the next few weeks and they'll be perfectly behaved autumn crops.
  • Rocket (not wild)
  • Radish
  • Spinach (leaf beet and/or salad types)
  • Oriental leaves (cut & come salad mixes)
  • Coriander & Dill
  • Pak Choi/Tat Soi/Bok Choi
  • Lettuces and Salad Leaves
  • Turnip
​If you've got a spare patch or bed, divide it into 8 sections and sow a small patch of each of the above. All of these are happy in regular garden soil - no need for extra compost.
Sow seeds shallow and thinly.
​Autumn greens sorted!

I just had a long conversation from a licensed nutritionist and she said I need to add two cups of raw vegetables from my diet. I am glad she never gave me the usual short cut "Go meat free" or "Have a balanced diet". What exactly is a balanced diet? I have no idea how I can eat such a large amount of grains just to fit in the category. It's best if we just juice vegetable so we can eat the required quantity our body needs in one day. I am glad you shared your list here.
