VEGGIE TALK – FEBRUARY 2023

Celery and celeriac can be started in greenhouses. Reminder – don’t plant tender plants out until beginning of June.

Comfrey can be harvested and used for plant food – put into barrel, after 6 weeks can tap off the liquid, dilute that with water, as would with Tomorite. Do not mix comfrey with water when put into barrel, it
will smell awful very quickly. Do not use once comfrey that has started to flower. Alternatively can use nettles in same way. Both comfrey and nettles are very high in potassium. Good alternative to Tomorite, which itself is an excellent all-round fruit-bearing plant food. Remember to dilute.

Horseradish – the deeper you dig, the hotter the root. If growing on plot, or at home, use a deep container as invasive growth. Grate into jars, but make sure you do it outside, or in very well-ventilated
area – noxious fumes!
