The loose leaf varieties are slow to run to seed.

Lettuces, for instance, come in many shapes, sizes and colours. ‘Early' varieties will give a quicker crop at the start and end of the season. Here are some other veg you can sow in mid-summer:Ĭhoosing the right variety is important when you are sowing through the season. Sow an 'early' variety again in mid July - or August - for a final quick crop. This also has the added bonus of missing the first attack of the carrot root fly. This captures the productive growing time in late summer/autumn.Ĭarrots, for instance, can be sown in June for use over winter. The key to success in having veg through the autumn and winter is to continue to sow, even in mid-summer. And you will have a constant supply of veg. This succession means not every plant will mature/bear fruit at the same time. This means you can either delay planting outdoors (maybe the conditions aren’t right – too cold or wet) or you can plan a succession of plantings, by putting out a limited number every few weeks. Because modules have a greater depth of soil than seed trays, they allow the young plants plenty of growing time to put down roots and mature. Sowing into a module tray is great for raising plants such as brassicas or lettuce.

Some herbs, such as coriander and parsley, will also get going. Quick germinating lettuce and other salad leaves will give you greens in a matter of weeks. Cool, light windowsills in late January and February are perfect for seed sowing, especially if you don’t have a greenhouse. To get fresh greens ready for early Spring, sow or raise plants early in the year, indoors. Both French and Broad beans can be podded and dried in the autumn for winter casseroles.Squash and pumpkins are cut late autumn and will store throughout winter.Parsnips taste better when harvested after the first frost, they too will store.Root veg such as carrots and beetroot can be harvested late autumn, and stored carefully for several months.Some varieties of spinach beet will survive frosts.Brassicas - kale, cabbage, turnips, broccoli will all grow over the winter months.Here's what you can grow, or store, to keep you in vegetables throughout both these seasons: Start by looking at hungry gap times: early Spring has little veg or fruit available, and of course winter is a challenge for many crops. Extending the growing season – greenhouse, polytunnel and cold frames.
