4 Crops You Can Start Today That Will Be Ready For Harvest In 3 Weeks
As the supermarkets become less and less comfortable places to be as a result of the coronavirus you may want to reduce your dependence by growing a veggie garden. Here are 4 crops you can start today that will be ready for your kitchen in just 3 weeks.
- Pea shoots
Sow thickly into takeaway trays on the windowsill or seed trays in the greenhouse, cover with more compost, and within three weeks, you can snip sweet pea-flavoured shoots for salads.
- Rocket
Sow directly into pre-watered soil, keep in the sun or shade, the soil must stay damp, and you'll see sprouts within two weeks, and they'll be pickable as baby leaves within four.
- Radishes
Well known for very quick results, sow classic red-rooted radishes like 'French Breakfast' or 'Cherry Belle' and you'll have seedlings within a week and roots in four weeks' time.
- Plug plant salads
If you want to increase yield in the time frame, cut corners by using plug-in plants (pregerminated seedlings). Cheat, and you'll be putting homegrown lettuce on your sandwiches and in your salads in no time at all.
