The allotment's coming along, the de-weeding of it should be complete in the next couple of weeks...so...can anyone advise of any plants I can sow now please? I like all veg so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :happy7:
Rocket and coriander will often over winter, leaf beet (perpetual spinach) definitely will. Not too late for some Winter radish in a milder area.. :wave:
You may still be able to buy overwintering brassicas
Soon be onion sets, garlic, broad beans. We've done lots of oriental greens and red mustard. Arctic lettuce and winter spring onions. Might need cloche protection if it gets really cold and snowy. Time to plant up fruit bushes and trees, strawberry runners, loads to do :toothy10:
Off the top of my head, here's a few things you could try:
Broad beans
Asparagus
Peas
Cauliflower (e.g. All Year Round variety)
Lettuce (e.g. lamb;s or something like Winter Density)
Garlic
Onions (autumn sowing e.g. Radar)
Spring onions
Shallots
Spinach
Spring cabbage
Lamb's lettuce and rocket.
Thank you all. All Year Round cauli is one of my favourites. Some really good suggestions. Will hit the allotment shop tomorrow :happy7:
If you want to overwinter broad beans or peas, pick the right varieties, and put them somewhere that won't be too dmp as they don't like waterlogging. Aquadulce Caudia is a good broad bean for this, or a small seeded variety like Wizard from Real Seeds. Round seeded early peas like Meteor should come through, but not the wrinkled varieties, which are more tender.
