Swedes

Swedes prefer a cool, moist climate so traditionally they are grown in the west and northern areas of the UK. Sufficient rainfall is required together with good soil conditions in order to provide strong root development. On this basis, either cultivation in higher rainfall areas or the use of irrigation is essential. In general the good winter hardiness of swedes makes them suitable for the coldest sites in the UK. The crop can be fed to stock and some varieties also have culinary potential.
