Hi folks.

If I wanted to extend the cropping season in my greenhouse, how late could I leave the sowing ? If I remember right, last year, as with the year before, mine were over by late August, and it would be nice to extend this somewhat.

Cheers...Freddy.

Evenig Freddy, i would have thought you could sow up to the beggining of June, you might just have to ripen the last of them inddors.

About June time take side shoot cuttings, they root very easily, grow on quicker than seed sown ones and give a very good crop into November here for me in Gloucester.

Cheers

Hi folks, thanks for the replies.

A couple of options there, something to ponder on. What I'll probably do is try both methods.

Cheers...Freddy.
