Sowing vegetable seeds in January means that you will likely see most of your crops ready for the spring, while others will have an extended growing season into the summer. Choosing early-cropping vegetables, such as our carrot seeds, means that you’ll enjoy the benefits of an early harvest to keep your garden bountiful throughout the year.
Common choices for vegetables to sow in January include pea seeds and bean seeds. For example, broad bean seeds, such as Broad Bean Superaguadulce, and pea seeds, such as Pea Meteor, have varieties available that are especially frost-hardy. This means you can choose them knowing you’re likely to have success even in particularly harsh winters.
Salad leaves are also ideal for sowing in January, as many, such as winter varieties of lettuce seeds, rocket seeds, and chard seeds, are capable of withstanding winter conditions well.
In this collection of January-sowing vegetable seeds, some, such as spinach seeds or radish seeds, can be grown directly within the ground, provided that the soil isn’t frozen or waterlogged and with the benefit of garden cloches. However, varieties such as onion seeds and tomato seeds, benefit from being started out in a greenhouse, under garden cloches or with a garden propagator.
