Onions Onions come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but whether it is the traditional white onion, the tangy spring onion, flavoursome red onion, or even shallots that are ideal for a warming stew, they are all just as easy to grow. Plant onions in late February to April, and you’ll be harvesting them in July to August. They keep for ages (especially if you pickle them for Christmas, for example, or freeze them), so you should have enough to see you through until it’s time to harvest again. Carr ots Whether eaten raw, used as a purée, or added to pretty much anything from cakes to salad, carrots are a fantastic vegetable to have on tap. Plant your carrots from February to July, and you’ll have a crunchy sweet crop between May and October. Would you like a greener healthier lawn? Let us provide it for you.
