What’s in season?

Get munching on UK fruit and veg in January and February 2010

...it's sow simple
If you have a heated propagator you can sow tomatoes, peppers and chillies in January. If you haven’t, a bit of molly coddling might work; covering your plants with an old duvet at night and making sure they’re in the lightest and warmest part of the house might ensure their survival. In February lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, radish, spinach, salad onions, broad beans and turnips can all be germinated in pots on the window sill and grown on in a greenhouse or conservatory; the seedlings can then be planted out later for earlier crops. This also gives your precious ones a headstart on
those pesky slugs.
