Not long now until the clocks go back and a new season is upon us. And a new season for gardeners means new opportunities to sow seeds. Leading mail order seeds company Seeds By Post (http://www.seedsbypost.co.uk) presents its pick of which flower and vegetable seeds to sow in late September and October.
Flower seeds
As the nights draw in, there’s nothing better to lift the spirits than sowing some of the more exotic flower seeds, such as snapdragons. Available in a rainbow of bright colours as well as wintry white, these towering, distinctive beauties should be sown in September.
If you want your Chrysanthemums to be flowering early on next summer, now is the time to sow the seeds. Carinatum Chrysanthemums are cheerily colourful and ideal for cutting and putting in vases around the house.
Some of the easiest flower seeds to grow which can be sowed at this time of year are Coleus Scutellariodes. Another multicoloured offering, these are cheap seeds which provide a good amount of pot plants from just one packet.
Vegetable seeds
This is the time to sow spinach seeds so you’ve got a good supply all winter long. Seeds By Post stock a generous range of spinach types, from Spinach Beet to Mustard Spinach and even the aptly named Spinach Beet Popeye.
Other vegetable seeds to be sown now to ensure healthy eating throughout the winter is winter lettuce. There is an even larger selection of this vegetable staple at Seeds By Post: choose from crisp Winter Gems, frothy Lattuga Rossa, delicate Lambs Lettuce or the ever-popular Iceberg.
Seeds for spring cabbages are ideally planted around August time but September/October is the time to plant them out, remembering to protect them with netting from birds.
Fancy something a bit more exotic? Chinese Broccoli, Chinese Cabbage, Pak Choi and Choy Sum are all vegetable seeds to be sown around now.
Remember of course, that the onset of harsher winter weather will require some (but not all) seeds to be sown under cover. As ever, check out the helpful information listed on all the Seeds By Post product listings online at http://www.seedsbypost.co.uk to guide you through your seed sowing in September and October.
