Below is the planting system I will be using for next year. These dates are only suggested and will be manipulated to suit both myself and the weather. This planning is critical when growing for exhibition and I have to produce my exhibits for the middle of August.
Giant Onions
Blanch Leeks Boxing Day
Pot Leeks
Shallots
Large Onions 1st week of January
250g Onions Mid-January
Celery 1st week of February
Cucumber
Tomatoes Mid-February
Parsnips 1st week of March
Carrots (Long) Mid-March
Broad Beans End of March
Tomato (Giant) Early April
Runner Beans
Carrots (Stump) 2nd week of April
Potatoes Last week of April
Caulis
Peas 1st week of May
Beetroot
Marrows 1st week of June
Lettuce
French Beans 2nd week of June
Planning of crops and timing is extremely variable no gardener gets everything right every year, no matter what they might say, and multiple sowings will need to be made to ensure crops are available for the show period
