Grow Your Own in April
In snowy March it’s hard to know whether we’ll have a freezing or a balmy April but do adjust your sowing enthusiasm accordingly! I know from bitter experience that planting or sowing before spring has sprung can be a waste of time and seed.
24 hour service available
Given the right conditions (fingers crossed) there is, however, a shedload of growing you can be on with. You can sow directly into soil: peas, broadbeans, beetroot, carrots, parsnip, lettuce, spinach, radish, turnips, leeks, summer cabbage. And in the greenhouse you can sow: runner beans, courgettes, squash, pumpkins, outdoor cucumbers. My greenhouse is tiny so I usually bring an old folding camping table down, put it in front of the patio doors and put my seedlings on there. They’re handy there for watering too, and talking to obviously! The RHS carried out a month long study last year where tomato plants with otherwise identical care regimes were read to by men and women. The plants that were read to by women grew an average of 1 inch more than plants not read to, or read to by men. There’s no certainty about the science behind the results but it could be that women may have a greater range of pitch or tone that affects the sound waves that hit the plant, and that sound, just like any other environmental factor, has an effect on plant growth. So, get chatting to your plants, ladies! Continue planting onions and potatoes to the end of the month but be prepared to earth up your potato shoots if frost is forecast. The potato was the first vegetable to be grown in space – a plant was taken up in the space shuttle Colombia in 1996. If you’re growing sweetcorn, don’t forget to place the kernels on wet kitchen roll and cover with another piece of wet kitchen roll until little shoots start to appear, and only then plant into pots in the greenhouse until the plant’s ready to plant out. This worked marvellously for me last year and I’ve still got a freezer full of bags of corn. As you walk through the woods you should be able to smell the unmistakable scent of ramsons, or wild garlic. It tastes as good as it smells and you can add leaves to salads, on sandwiches or use to make pesto. It usually grows in enormous swathes and I try to pick from the middle to decrease the chance that dogs have weed on it (although I do wash it too – obviously!) Incredible Edible Wakefield's Edible Gardening clubs are open to anyone wanting to learn to grow their own food or to share their food growing knowledge with like-minded people. They run most weeks from 10am till 12 noon at Standbridge Lane, Kettlethorpe; Park Lodge Lane, Eastmoor; Horbury and Ossett Community Centre. Call Andy on 07971 098510 or log on at www.incredible-edible-wakefield.co.uk for more info or follow us on Twitter @IEWakefield.
