I sowed some beetroot seed in one of those self-watering troughs. Another disaster - the compost was absolutely sodden and the beetroots rotted - big mistake.
Comment by Caro on July 18, 2012 at 20:17 Oh poor you. It's not too late to resow, Elaine. In the veg patch's first year, we sowed beetroot in August and still had a harvest before the year was out - and you know it's going to be an Indian summer... !
Comment by elaine rickett on July 18, 2012 at 20:22 Ha ha - I'll believe that when I see it! But I will re-sow the beetroot just not in the darned containers.
Comment by Colin Robinson on July 18, 2012 at 20:36 Haven't all containers been self-watering this year, Elaine?
Comment by elaine rickett on July 18, 2012 at 22:08 I guess so.
