@nettlesandpetals: Seeds to Sow in October 🌱🧄 Most gardeners have given up by now, but there’s more to sow in the vegetable and flower garden than you might think! 😊🌱 First, a reminder to get garlic and overwintering onions planted, I sow my onion sets in trays to plant out in early spring, and divide and plant my established perennial onions. 🧅 Then, I sow my garlic in pots and straight into growing beds pointy side up, and I’ll have lots of garlic to enjoy from early summer next year. 🧄🌱 I am still sowing lots of winter salads, mainly corn salad, winter purslane, which I have a tray of ready plant, lambs lettuce and mizuna cool beans which is really hardy! 🥬 I sow them all into an open tray, then plant them out into my growing beds to enjoy throughout winter. You can still sow broad beans to overwinter if you haven’t already, for an earlier crop next spring, as well as autumn or winter radishes. 🫘 Then there are the flowers, I will be sowing some bread seed poppies, some violas for the poly tunnel beds, and some more sweet peas that ill overwinter for much earlier blooms. 🌸🌼 You can sow cover crops such as clover now just to keep beds full. 🌱🌱👀 And why not collect a few acorns to plant in pots that will germinate over winter and give you your own oak saplings to plant next year! 🌳🐿️ So what will you be sowing this month? 😊 #vegetablegarden #growyourownfood #gardeningtips
