What to plant in...

AUTUMN

Beetroot

Preferred variety: Crimson Globe
Hints & Tips: Soak seeds overnight in water to soften before planting.

Sow directly into the patch around 1.5cm deep and 5-10cm apart. Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge and then thin out, so they have enough room to grow.
Water 2-3 times per week for the first month and then once a week.

Garlic

Hints & Tips: Plant individual sprouting garlic cloves direct into patch pointy end up to a depth of 2-3 cm, 10-15 cm apart. 
Water 2-3 times a week after planting and then once a week unless unusually hot.  When the ends start to turn yellow stop watering completely so the garlic bulb hardens. Harvest the garlic when the ends wither and hang in a dark place for at least 2 weeks until dry. Store for 2 months.

Spring Onions

Hints & Tips: Plant Spring Onions in full sun in a spot in the patch that is protected from strong wind.

Water regularly to keep the soil moist. Cut green stalks for use in garnishing dishes or harvest the plant after around 8-12 weeks.
