Questions in Growing

Is there anything that I can sow in August? I've just been given access to some land and it's going to be a couple of weeks before it's ready - but what can I plant this time of year? Cheers.

i planted flyaway carrots sometime ago now, but over the past few days i have noticed they have purple heads. I now know that this is not carrots can anyone help identfy what this is, the leaf looks very similar to flat leaf parsley.

Three weeks ago i sowed some seeds in greenhouse and most have started to grow except my toms and sweet peppers. Cauli, raddish, cabbage, carrots, spring onions all doing well and runners have been planted out but no toms or peppers. Why!!!

There are five growers now listed in Stratford-upon-Avon but no land owners have signed up. Any ideas for getting Stratford based land owners to register? Thanks

1) Is a 2ft tall (and growing) lettuce normal? The rest are OK, but this is like a runaway romaine! 2) Why would garlic decide to fall down, has been fine for months. 3) What's a pretty pink wild flower/weed with 8 buds & clover like leaves called?

Planted onions & shallots last Oct. Both have just been lifted: pleased with onions; lots of gd sized bulbs. Shallots produced lots of bulbs (8 to 13 per original bulb) but are small. The plots were treated exactly the same. What did I do wrong?

Whenever I grow carrots, they are always small. It doesn't matter what type of carrot I grow. Is there any way I can stop this happening?

Hi My purple sprouting broccoli (sown spring 2008 and overwintered) didn't produce any spears or turn purple. Instead I've got lots of green leaves this year, which taste nice but weren't what I anticipated. Any ideas what caused this?
