We had an enjoyable time this morning, wandering around RHS Rosemoor. It will soon be time for me to start making plans for what I want to grow in 2026, including when to start it and when to plant it out. As my starting point, I’ve got various perennial things (like some wonderfully productive raspberries and a thornless blackberry) in place and beds with broad beans, garlic and leek growing through the winter for harvest next year. Two different varieties of kale also continue to do good service. However, that still leaves enough of a blank slate to make planning – soon – an essential.
