Want earlier harvests in spring? In this short video, I share 3 simple ways to grow for early harvests, including autumn sowing, early spring planting under fleece, and when to use hoops for extra frost protection.
These are practical methods I use here at Homeacres.
1 is to sow suitable vegetables in autumn, such as the broad / fave beans here.
2 is to sow late February, then plant a month later and cover with fleece on top.
3 is similar to 2 except for supporting the plants on hoops.
More details of the products I suggest are on my website charlesdowding.co.uk/collections/gardening-equipment
