  • What do you plan on sowing from now to end of year?

    We all know that seed packet sowing dates aren't set in stone and quite often sowing things outside these parameters works wonders. So what will you be sowing from now to the end of the year for Autumn to Spring cropping?

    Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!

    Just received some Mooli seeds which along with the Spring Cabbage will be sown soon. After that the overwintering type of Japanese onion will be planted, both the red and the white. Before the end of the year the broadies may be sown also. I have PSB plants ready to pop in any spare spaces.

      Just some potatoes in the greenhouse or new cold frame if it's built in time, for Christmas dinner, but not yet, probably late August/ early September time. Winter cabbages are in, ditto Parsnips and Carrots, that'll be me for winter veg. I might try sowing my Onion seeds earlier than the usual Boxing Day this year, the Ailsa Craig are growing now, but seen rather small/late this year, so probably back to Mammoth seed next year.

        Thanks Snadger and Burnie. You've reminded me I have some onion and broad bean seeds somewhere, that arrived too late to sow this year, I shall have a look and see if they can be sown later on. I too have some Spring Cabbages to sow. I might try some Savoys, but I don't expect they'd heart up now.
        I could do some Christmas Spuds!

              Need to find some room for a few daikon radishes, and I'm also going to sow some normal radish seeds, but that's about it, I think.

                    In the next few weeks I'll be sowing Arctic king, and 'all year round' lettuce to go in my GH borders once the toms have finished, other than that more radishes, carrots in buckets and spring onions..

                      Spring cabbage sowed and already germinated
                      Brocolli doing well.
                      I need to buy some Japanese onion seed.
                      some winter lettuce waiting to go in as well.

                      And your hands begin to harden.
                      You will find yourself a partner,
                      In the glory of the garden.

                        Pulled up my garlic yesterday so will want to put something in to that bed. Will probably go for Plug plants will see what Homebase has. Still planting salad leaves and carrots.

                            I will be sowing spring cabbage, florence fennel and salad leaves in August, and cauliflowers for overwintering in September, along with possibly more salad leaves/winter lettuce. After that it is just indoor things such as microgreens, lettuces for the grow light garden and pea shoots.

                              Second lot of peas (dried mushy ones, lovely fresh), having a second go at brassicas, carrots if I remember, winter tatties for the greenhouse.
