Thanks Charles. I’m in south Cheshire and our garden slopes slightly northward so things are a bit prone to frost until mid-May. However, I’ve found the polytunnel really beneficial.
I now use your suggested method for Brassicas. I sow in June and keep them in the tunnel until butterfly danger is over then plant them out before the frosts start. It worked really well last year and we had plenty of Sprouts and Red Winter Kale.
Thanks for all your gardening wisdom. You’ve confirmed many of my own suspicions about the conventional methods repeated by so many “experts”. Your ideas are not only more sensible but they really do work.
