I know we have various threads like what I did today & the seed sowing thread but I don't think they get the use that they maybe should, so I thought about filtering it down to specifics. It's not about what we should be sowing this month but what you actually plan to sow even if the experts disagree................So Lets kick of with September:

Brilliant thread. Can't wait for some answers as I haven't got a clue apart from green manuresDogs have masters, cats have slaves, and horses are just wonderful -
Well I'm gonna put some onion sets in trays to give them a head start. Will also sow some Beetroot, Swede, Carrots, Sweet Peas & maybe a bucket of spuds but unlikely.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

I have 1 or 2 (thousand) leek seeds so I will shove them in as a mild spring onion mini crop. Winter carrots (Artemis), winter radish (Black Spanish and Pink Dragon), lettuce, watercress and sugar snaps (for the shoots)I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas A. Edison

I've tended to find that everything I've sown in September is a complete failure, either because it gets eaten to death by pests or because it doesn't get started before it gets too cold.
Having said that, I have plenty of things still to sow:
Spring cabbage Spring Hero
Komatsuna Torasan
Chinese Celery (Kin Tsai)
Lettuce Winter Gem
Various microleaves including mustard, cress, amaranth, radish etc
Various baby leaf salads, both lettuce and oriental type greens
Most of these will be grown either indoors or in the growhouse apart from the spring cabbage.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard NimoyComment

broad beans at the end of the month to overwinter.
Also several herbs to live inside over winter - especially basil!
