WHAT SEEDS TO SOW IN SEPTEMBER?

As we move into September, the changing weather brings new opportunities for gardeners across the UK. While the days may be getting shorter, there’s still plenty to sow that will keep your garden going strong through autumn and into winter.

From hardy vegetables like spinach, winter lettuce, and radishes to beautiful flowers such as calendula and cornflowers, there’s no reason to let your garden lose its vibrancy. September is also the perfect time to sow herbs like parsley and coriander, ensuring your kitchen is well-stocked with fresh flavours for the cooler months ahead.

Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just starting out, the cooler September temperatures are ideal for sowing seeds that will establish before the winter. Keep your garden productive and beautiful through the autumn season and beyond!
