I planted a few swedes back last spring, and boy did they struggle. Now they are about the size of a golf ball, but still growing. Will they be passed it now winter is here, of can I leave them to grow and use them in a few months time?
Hi there EJ! Mine are still in the ground, I am using them as I need them, no room for storage! They appear to still be growing here in East Sussex....or it could just be wistful thinking on my part! :?
Like a turnip. A biggish round root, sweet flesh, like a parsnip, or even slightly like carrot, but a much denser flesh. A great winter veg for soups and stews. I have the purple topped swedes, and I think I am going to oik them out and start again. I think sowing direct, with some new fresh seed is the way to go, and more sun maybe........
Hi E J , swedes should always be sown directly into the ground , as they do not like being transplanted. Sow as thin as you can and then thin them again when they are big enough to handle. Discard the thinnings Bugs
