Winter vegetables in UK
 

Hello fellow gardeners,
Having had a disasterous frst season trying to grow my own vegies, I
thought I would try some winter varieties.
I know where I went wrong with my spring/summer crops, ie:
pests, parasites
soil quality
feeding
watering/overwatering.

I have read online that you can plant sprouts, cabbage, peas and broad
beans, but different sites contradict eachother as to when they can be
sown.

Any help or tips(both would be very nice) please for a frustrated
newbie gardener?

Thanks in advance

WSith the weather we having at present its worth putting some potatoes into
tubs for new spuds christmas day, should just be in time.

Take a look here for some other ideas
http://www.realseeds.co.uk/summersowing2.html

its worth putting in some fairly hardy leafy greens now as they can be
picked leaf by leaf over winter

Might be worth trying Kohl Rabi, use when small for soups, stews, salads put
plenty in tho.

worth some salad such as radish, cress, mustard, all for garnish. Try the
new varietys of baby carrots, these grow to the size in TV dinners, you know
Miniscule? again put plenty in.
Beetroot may just be in time as Autumn weather has been milder of late, and
first sign of frost is usually around 3rd or 4th week in November here in
the midlands.
If you have greenhouse, or could cover your plants with polythene that will
give you the edge on weather.
