6 Must-Grow Crops to Sow this Autumn

Brilliant advice as usual. Sowing Swiss chard, garlic, and kale, to name a few.

Thank you for The Video Tips

Thanks for the video❤️✌🏿

Thanks for your video. You have given me lots on inspiration for this next season

Thanks for this! What would you define as 'particularly cold'? I live in Suffolk Uk

Ivè just planted another crop of Haricot nain (dwarf beans) as i live in france and winters are quite moderate.

I'm a complete newbie to growing veg and I'm totally inspired by Ben and GrowVeg. This year I've had incredible crops from Tomatoes, chillis, peppers, potatoes, beans and cucumber. Cucumber has stopped now so I'm ready to plant something else. Bring it on!

Grasias por los concejos ❤❤

How you supposed to know what 'winter' lettuce is

Hi Ben my polycarbonate tunnel should be up by mid sept is it too late on to plant any vegetables in it?

Ah I love your videos! Thank you so optimistic- I had just started someone else's autumn gardening tips video and thought I had missed the boat 😂 now I am motivated again!

Thanksfor this! I’m getting the full garden ready

Winters are generally very cold here but I plant my garlic around the 2nd week of November and they do very well. Cutting scapes occurs about mid-June and harvest is in the 3rd week of July. It may be the variety that I grow that contributes to the success.

Doing some more autumn potatoes, and winter squashes. Onions and garlic…. No broad beans this year I think..

Do you recommend planting anything in a garden bed that had sunflowers in it due to their toxicity?

Can I plant in grow bags and place the grow bags outside in the garden? Basically I'm trying to use them as raised beds

I will be planting garlic!

September is rely the big start to growing non-tropical things in south Florida! I'm putting in beans, peas, lettuces, arugula, spinach, kale, carrots, radishes , cabbage and Seminole pumpkins. Last month I started tomatoes and peppers, which won't frit in our hot summers.

Hi, Ben! North Florida Fall gardens are the best! I've got seed trays of broccoli, cauliflower, cabbages, rutabagas, collards and lettuces already sown, and today, I started three 162 cell trays of sweet, short-day, onions. In the next few weeks, I'll be direct seeding English peas, beets, and carrots to over-winter. I'm hoping all goes well, like last year.

Great video Ben loads of stuff yet to sow its not too late

Thanks for the tip about Spanish Black Radish. I’ve got some growing now 🙂

for me its more a matter of finding some small seedlings, or even the seeds!

Hi! I have just ordered a raised bed kit, for my first attempt at veg growing!! I have an Autumn kit of broad beans, peas, onion, shallots and garlic. I'm in Bournemouth, so winters are mild, but should I put out slug traps / netting / fleece, or just leave them be? I'm keen to get going, but as a complete beginner, would I be better off waiting until Spring to start?

Hello, I love your videos 🙂 I’ve planted some winter lettuce, Chinese cabbage and radish today. What is the best way to keep slugs away?

Thank you for your great video. Just plant some winter lettuce, red mizuna, rocket and fast asian greens. I’m thinking about rapini too. Our Canadian zone 5 is always full of surprises.

Hello Ben. I'm sick at home, and your videos have grown on me 😉 I am in love with your property! I'm pretty sure your greenhouse is the size of my whole yard!
What zone are you growing in? I'm in Southern Ontario, Canada. I'm not sure what "particularly cold areas" means in relation to where you are.

Is it too late to sow purple sprouting brocooli?

This guy doesn't need to use words. He talks by wriggling his face. Freaky man.

Fava beans!

🤗✅

I might try some Kale too!

Love your channel! New subscriber. You remind me of a gardening version of the actor Graeme Garden from The Goodies! Appropriate surname!

Great info thanks !

only got a small patch in the garden 20 sq meter……so for me i let the ground rest for the spring

Fava beans and a nice glass of chianti 👌

What, no brassicas? Beets? Chard?

i wait till tomatoes and peppers are going down then pull everything and plant green beans in every available space. When they are going down i pull them and plant carrots, onions, collards, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, chard, and im gonna try garlic

Excellent stuff. As usual, we're growing arugula, romaine, and a mesclun salad mix of red kale, leaf lettuces, endive and chervil in pots which I'll move into the garage when a deep frost threatens. I live a mile from Lake Erie, and our early winters are mild since the lake retains a lot of heat. So we harvest fresh salad greens through late December when sans greenhouse, the cold and lack of sun tilts the cost/ benefit in the direction of buying romaine hearts at the grocery. However, we'll be harvesting our mature kale and Brussel sprouts through most of the winter, and they taste better after a frost, IMHO.

Thank You ~ This has fantastic information ~ my polytunnel is going to be busy this Winter ❄️ ⭐️ Your videos are so inspiring 🐝🌻

I have some healthy romanesco cauliflower and purple sprouting broccoli seedlings in tiny pots, can I plant them outside now in Scotland?

Thank you! Some great tips here. Particularly the one about faca beans. I have planted lettuce, kale, chard, cabbage and radishes.

Oh my gosh. Even this guy can.t get decent seed sowing compost! Westland is the way to go (no affiliation).

Garlic

Of all the crops that I've read can be started in autumn, I'm about to sow at least the one I'll most enjoy—peas, encouraged by the fact that, with little veg experience, I have had good luck with mangetout this summer.

On my Appletree it is upright but I have a rather thick protrusion of a Off on on one side should I take that off

'lettuce' know what you are going to sow

Brilliant video; I'll be taking you up on some of those suggestions. It's so nice to know that the veg beds don't need to sit empty through the winter months.

where is the best place to buy seeds for these "autumn" crops

♥️♥️♥️♥️ Great suggestions!
