Well spotted, Mark At least you read it!!
I tried the one seed a week experiment once...........the answer's NO................but this leads me on nicely to My Calendar Part 2 - the 13 month year when you sow the same seeds (almost) every 4th week of the year.
Week 1 I sow Root veg
Week 2 - Shoots like Alliums
Week 3 - Fruits - peas, beans, tomatoes etc
Week 4 - Leaves - brassicas and lettuce .
So for a succession of cabbages you sow a few every 4 weeks - obviously changing the varieties to match the seasons.
This is what I try to do - but usually fail miserably because I forget - although my computer diary reminds me every day which week it is - this week is Fruits and I plant to sow some DFBs and dwarf peas for the GH and some Wizard Field Beans for outdoors. Going to experiment with a late sowing of courgettes and cucumbers too, just to see if its possible to sow this late.
