Autumn sowing

When most crops have been harvested in late summer and the first gaps appear in the beds, it is time for autumn sowing. The aim is to harvest herbs and vegetables throughout the year and to keep the soil covered. Asian salads, lamb’s lettuce, garden cress or spinach can be sown into October and harvested after just a few weeks. Many cabbage varieties are hardy or actually need a good frost to develop their flavor. In addition, winter leek varieties and spring onions are suitable for overwintering. For those in a hurry, we recommend sowing rocket, which is ready to harvest in 3 weeks. Autumn sowing of biennial and perennial herbs and flowers means that they grow and bloom particularly vigorously in spring. Sowing green manure is a good way to revitalize stressed and depleted soils over the fall and winter. After the incorporation of the green manure plants in spring, their nutrients are released and are available for the next crops.
