November Sowing
While the decorations are still tucked away, it’s the perfect moment to start sowing for a fresh taste of spring. These six varieties don’t mind a November start and will reward you with early greens, sweet peas and even strawberries next summer. It’s a lovely way to keep a bit of garden magic going through the winter and get a head start on the growing year.
This offer contains:
Cabbage Evergreen F1 – sow in a coldframe or green house for a bit of protection, then plant out under cloches just 10cm apart. You’ll get lots of tiptop flavour and heaps of leafy greens, fresh from your spring garden. (20 seeds)
Endive Panaclieri – sow at any time of the year and enjoy as a cut-&-come-again crop. Give it a little shelter from cold, wet weather with cloches or a cold frame. Perfect for braising through the winter. (40 seeds)
Pea Avola – outstanding first early variety has excellent colour and flavour and is low growing to just 60cm. Autumn sowing plants should crop in May or early June. Harvest when the pods are bright green (50 seeds)
Rocket Esmee – can be sown at any time of the year. In autumn and winter it appreciates a bit of cover, either under cloches, in a cold frame, or in the greenhouse. The lovely lobed leaves add a zing to your meals – chop into an omelette, stir into pasta sauce or scatter over a pizza. (50 seeds)
Strawberry Alexandria – an autumn sowing should see your plants giving you delicious little fruits next summer, perfect for snacking or enjoying with ice cream. (50 seeds)
Wild Garlic – best sown straight into your garden. It’s happy near a hedge or in a soggy corner and is a real feature of ancient woodlands. Grow your own and use it freely: snip into omelettes, scatter on pizza, stir through casseroles and soups, roast alongside veg or finely chop for salads. (25 seeds)
