More Vegetables and Cloches

Radish
Radishes are usually sown with other crops under cloches to maximise the usage of space. For an early crop of radish sow in late January where the cloches have already warmed the soil for a couple of weeks previously.

Strawberries
Plant new strawberries in mid August without cloche protection. In early October put the cloches in place. You are guaranteed the earliest crop of strawberries if you grow them this way.

Sweet Corn
Sow the seeds indoors or in a heated greenhouse in mid April and plant outside four weeks later under the cloches. the cloches should have been in position two weeks earlier. Remove the cloches when the foliage starts to touch the roof.
