    Hi – I’ll be interested in how this does. I planted some earlier in the year (am in London) and have tried putting in a few seeds lately to replace what I’d used but they’re not sprouting at all – don’t know if it’s too late for them or the birds get to them as soon as they peek through.

    I usually sow a short row every few weeks, and harvest on a ‘cut and come again’ basis. The current row is going to seed now though. The usual problem I have on the allotment is flea beetle, so I usually have holy rocket! If they get at the very small seedlings, though, they can kill them off. This is worse in dry weather, so I try to water frequently (haven’t had to do much watering this summer of course!).
