JoeD 24 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Dig it over, and you can get in quite a lot this time of year, a bit late for spuds but you can near enough put in anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BULLDOUG 199 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Good look mate, its quite a hard year here in the Midlands. One thing ive learned over the last few years is that seeds do not read the dates on the packets, so if you like it get it in. Trial and error will see you in better stead than anything else in gardening. Im growing a shit load of baccy this year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
