I am sure there are many keen gardeners that feel like I do when it comes to planting seeds.
As soon as there are a few sunny days in a row, I start thinking about my spring and summer veggie seeds and want to start planting them.
Then common sense prevails and I realize that despite the sunny days here in the Cape, winter is still with us and there will be a lot more rain and cold ahead.
So, I must console myself with planting a few more cold crops such as radishes and cilantro in between my spinach and beetroot plants.
I did not plant the curly kale this winter as I got fed up with the aphids which just love this type of kale and so now have three different types of spinach instead which are all looking great.
