Sowing in the autumn

Late sowing

In September the ground is still warm enough for seeds to germinate quickly and with longer summers in some areas, the growing season often continues for a few bonus weeks. So it’s a good time to try some late sowings. There’s a good range of crops that can be sown right through to the end of the month and some even later.

Crops to try

Leafy vegetables

Decreasing light levels mean late sown vegetables won’t flower and fruit, but leafy crops can put on plenty of growth in the time remaining.

Leaf varieties to sow outdoors include: pak choi (tatsoi) varieties, mizuna, winter cress, spicy oriental salad mixes and spinach varieties such as ‘Giant Winter’. These should germinate quickly and give you plenty of supply for stir fries, soups and leafy salads through to the first frosts.

If you have a greenhouse or cold frame you can sow winter lettuce varieties under glass. ‘Winter Density’ is one of the most popular and produces lovely tender hearts of lettuce through the cold months.

Broad beans and peas

Early sowings of broad beans and peas can be carried out from late September through to mid November. The advantage of sowing early is that plants can establish over the winter and flower and fruit earlier. Many plants are able to withstand quite harsh conditions; however you may need to fleece young plants during hard frosts or snowy conditions. ‘Super Aguadulce’ and ‘Aguadulce Claudia’ are two broad bean varieties that suit early sowings. ‘Feltham First’ is the most popular pea for early sowings.

Garlic

Garlic can be planted from the autumn right through into February, providing the ground is not too hard or waterlogged.

Christmas potatoes

If you plant seed potatoes in September in a pot, you can grow a crop to serve with your festive turkey. The plants need to establish before the first frosts when they should be brought indoors to a sheltered spot. Keep watering and earthing up until December and dig up your crop of new potatoes on Christmas Eve.

Weeds in the lawn

Weeds in the lawn

Many shallow rooted, rosette forming lawn weeds can be removed with a daisy grubber, while tap-rooted weeds can be hoicked out of turf with a long-handled weed tool.
Alternatively, weeds can also be treated with a herbicide gel brushed onto the leaves. This will only affect the weeds treated.
Moss and many other lawn weeds can be prevented by keeping the lawn healthy. Aerate, spike and rake annually to improve drainage and remove debris.
If you have a problem with coarse grasses in the lawn, they can be controlled by slashing through the crowns with a knife before mowing, while weeds that spread by runners can be weakened by raking the stems upright before cutting.
If you have a serious weed problem, use a weed and feed product, ensuring that the formulation is for the right time of year. These are usually for spring or autumn application.
