Just that really! I'm new to growing and so wondered if there are things that could go in this time of year and would cope? Or maybe at least get a head start next season? Thanks for any tips.

Bunyards Exhibition and Superaguadulce broadies both say you can sow in autumn, and Meteor peas I think. And I think there are some lettuces you can try? Winter Density? Some others I can't remember! Lol, maybe veggiechicken can help out
. You may need to provide a bit of cover though, if the weather gets nasty - fleece, or a cloche, or even clear plastic bottles with their bottoms cut off if you don't have a huge number of plants - and they'll protect against slugs quite nicely too

Bit late to start winter lettuces now, not really enough light for them to get a proper start, best sown mid-Sept ish.
Planted my garlic last weekend (104 cloves) and 100 or so red onions, will do the white ones tomorrow.
My Douce Provence seedlings will be planted out tomorrow (I found if I just planted seeds, mice got a lot of them, so I germinate them indoors and let them grow for a week or two). Broad beans will be sown tomorrow too.Are y'oroight booy?Comment

I'm just going by what it says on the packets Vince.. my Lettuce Winter Gem for example says sow Sept through to March, ie over the winter.. they're described as 'for the winter greenhouse or frame'. So I assume they're designed to cope with lower light levels provided they're kept frost-free? I've got a couple of other varieties too which say the same thing. Not tried them before, but thought I might give them a go this yearOriginally posted by Vince G View Post
