Title: Seeds and Young Plants
Post by: KKOB on February 22, 2008, 11:03:01 AM

Goksular Yapi Market / B&Q, next to the Citroen dealership and the shop on the opposite side of the road that sells chain-saws, mowers and rotovators, sell packets of seeds. Many of the seeds that B&Q stock are Johnson's and are cheaper than the UK price.

If you turn right at the lights after Migros and head into town there's another shop about 50 metres along.

There's also a little shop behind the "everyday fruit and veg market" in the centre of Fethiye.

The Tuesday and Friday markets in Fethiye and the Saturday market at Karachula usually have a good selection of young vegetable plants throughout the year.

He's just a 'happy' guy.

Gonna try and grow some parsnips again this year. Hopefully I will be able to get the bigger than radishes this time.
I think it is getting the correct balance between full sun and partial shade.

Scunner's got green fingers, but not through gardening.

I'm not easily upset at all, it really takes something excessive to cause that, so congratulations Calvin  ;)

I grew swede last year... you can't get the seeds here though, so I got some brought over from the UK. I planted mine in July. I'll be doing the same this year.

I put some swede and parsnip seeds in today. Probably too early but trial and error. I will try again in July as suggested.

Got some runner beans in as well.
