Veg Seeds to Sow In December

For large onions, seed can be sown during December and early January transplanting the young plants outdoors in spring.

Chicory roots can be lifted at this time by cutting back the tops and potting up, which will force them to produce blanched, tender chicons with whitened leafy shoots.

Vacant areas in the vegetable plot can be dug ready for sowing and planting in spring.
