What is the best way to grow vegetables?

What month should you plant a vegetable garden?

The planting date for each vegetable depends upon the weather that the vegetable can best tolerate. Cool-season vegetables grow best in early spring or in late summer and autumn when the weather is cooler. Warm-season vegetables grow best during the late spring, summer, and early autumn when the weather is warm.

What do you mix in soil for a vegetable garden?

For most situations, we recommend these proportions: 60% topsoil. 30% compost. 10% Potting soil (a soilless growing mix that contains peat moss, perlite and/or vermiculite)

What can I plant on the allotment now?

Plant strawberries, raspberries, and parsnip seeds. Start successional sowing of chard, beetroot and spinach. If you’ve sown early lettuce, now is the time to thin it out. If you’ve any leeks left in the ground from last year, harvest them so you can dig over the land for new planting.
