Vegetable Seeds to Sow in Autumn

While the traditional time to start growing vegetables is spring to early summer, autumn also offers plenty of opportunities for planting. Many vegetable seeds can be successfully sown in September, October, and November, allowing you to make the most of your garden year-round.

As the days are long and the soil is still warm, some fast-growing vegetables will crop the same year if planted in autumn. Kale seeds, for example, can take as little as 3 months to mature. You can extend the growing season even further with a greenhouse or polytunnel, or by growing indoor seeds.

Alternatively, many slow-growing vegetables (such as spinach seeds) are cold-tolerant – meaning they can overwinter in your garden. Plant hardy seeds to sow in autumn and they’ll crop from early spring onwards.
