Allotment. Огород.
Click these links for growing guides for each variety:
Popular and easy to grow in fall and spring: beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, chard, kale, lettuces, leeks, peas, radishes and spinach.
For the connoisseur: arugula, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, celery, Chinese cabbage, collards, endive, fennel, garlic, onions, parsnips, salad greens and turnips.
Surprising cool-season crops: including asparagus, potatoes and rhubarb. Yes, they are often thought of and grown in the summer, but they prefer the cooler temperatures of spring and fall.
How To!

Broad beans.
Today we have sown directly into the soil in February for harvests as early as May.
Broad beans usually take anywhere from 7 to 14 days to germinate.
‘Aquadulce Claudia’: A large, very hardy longpod cultivar for autumn or early spring sowing.
And Radish French Breakfast.
Amongst the beans I put in some radishes
This fast-growing catch crop will mature before the Broad Beans grow big and block out their light.
I'll wait at least another couple of weeks - perhaps 3 or 4 - before sowing my next lot of Broad Beans.

What to do in February.
- Broad beans – if you didn’t sow your broad beans before Christmas, starting them outside now can help ensure they grow strong and healthy.
You probably won’t get a huge yield of broad beans from a container (you really need lots of space to get a good crop) but I love them so much I can’t resist growing a few.
- Potatoes and carrots can, in warmer places (not where I live), be sown outside now if you can protect the tender shoots from frost with a cloche or a fleece.
