Yes I know it is still Summer, somewhere...but it's time to think about sowing brassicas for the hungry gap. I have already mentioned Kale, now it's the turn of Spring Cabbage. I had a really great crop from my July sowing last year. So, I will sow only biodynamically on this tomorrow. These may get into my polytunnel, just depends how big the shoehorn is!
My chosen varieties for this year are "Precoce de Louviers" and "Piacenza" from Real Seeds. Never having grown these before I am interested to know if anyone else has and their views upon either of them please. I will also be sowing Broccoli Raab or Turnip Broccoli, variety "San Marzano", another experimental variety for me. It's a quick cropper, turning around a harvest within 60-80 days. Not really a filler for my hungry gap, although if the bad weather continues the hungry gap will be considerably wider than normal.
