Growth tips

Why Grow Swede?

Swede is an excellent addition to your garden, providing a reliable source of fresh produce even in colder months. With its mild, slightly sweet flavor, it's perfect for soups, stews, and mashes. This cool-season crop is easy to grow and winterhardy, ensuring a steady supply of vegetables when many other crops have finished for the year.

Sowing and Harvesting Tips:
  • Sowing Time: Start your seeds in May or June, ideally in small cell seed trays to give them a strong start.
  • Spacing: Once your seedlings are ready, plant them out with a 30 cm spacing to allow for healthy growth.
  • Protection: During the summer, protect your seedlings with mesh to ensure better success.
  • Harvest Time: Swedes are ready to harvest in autumn and winter, providing you with fresh produce throughout the colder months.
Growing Advice:
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially if there is little rainfall, to ensure the best growth.
  • Maintenance: Regularly remove any yellowing leaves to keep your plants healthy.
  • Winterhardy: Swede is a hardy vegetable that withstands cold weather, making it a reliable crop for your winter garden.
