I sowed today

- Pea Douce Provence is a compact growing variety that only reaches a height of 45cm.
Seeds germinate 7-10 days.

- Chicory, Radicchio “Palla Rossa 2” -“Red ball”
It’s a perennial, so you once you establish your plants, you can harvest your radicchio for many more years.
Days to germination: 6 to 10 days
Days to harvest: 60 to 80 days
There are three different types of chicory 'forcing' chicory, red chicory or radicchio and 'non-forcing' chicory. 'Palla Rossa', or sometimes called 'Palla rossa Zorzi Precoce', is a radicchio with a delicate, tangy flavour. It is best planted later in the year as it colours better in cooler weather.
It’s a leafy salad green, and not related the radish even though the names are similar. Radicchio is also sometimes called Italian chicory to further complicate things, though it is closely related.
For a second fall crop, you can start another batch of seeds about 8 to 10 weeks before you expect to get the first frosts of winter
Don’t flood the plants.
Once they go to seed (bolt), the leaves will almost immediately get too bitter to eat..
- Cucumbers - Cucumis sativus.
Time between sowing and harvesting 12-14 weeks.

July. What to do now in your vegetable garden

What to do now in your vegetable garden: "Summer in March, winter in May, spring in June - climate change isn’t making it easy for veg growers. We can no longer grow ‘by the book’, but have to use our ingenuity to adapt to whatever the weather throws at us. Undercover space in a greenhouse or polytunnel has been invaluable this year."
