9 Hardy Crops I'm Sowing This October | What to Sow in October

Lol. Counterstrike ist nativ unter Linux 🙂 idk. War es quasi schon vor 10 Jahren. Dafür brauchst du kein Bazzite

We call "broad beans," Fava beans in the US. Just planted a row of them here in zone 8a

Did you ever try to overwinter tomatoe plants? It is possible inside

I'm always happy about things to sow late, even so my beds are already super full. Just ordered a bunch of sweet peas 😊 what I also want to try is sowing parsnip and carrots now, it's a first 🤞

I sow my broad bean seeds 15cm or 6” deep, that way the mice can’t find them and dig them up to eat. It also means that by the time they hit fresh air they’ve a good strong root system. I do this every year and haven’t lost any seeds to mice and always have a huge crop. Try it, you’ll like it.

“The way we shape a positive future lies not in the technology we create, but in the soil we regenerate”. Thanks from Australia for your thought provoking quote, your book (from my thoughtful husband 🥰), and your endless supply of educational videos. 🍎

What about mice??!

mmm surprised you didn't mention Autumn Onions

🐝🌻🐝 Thanks for the great video 🐝🌻🐝

Mercy, there certainly are some grumpy people here. Perhaps it’s the end of summer blues, lol.😂. Hopefully nothing a good nights sleep and/or a cup of tea can’t cure. 😂
Your climate and plantings rarely translate to my zone but I still usually get some tidbits of interesting information from your videos so continue on. 😂 Besides I always enjoy looking at your garden. TeresaSue

Great Huw I was hoping to rest now 😂but no I’ve still got lots to do , thanks for the tips I’ll get some broad beans going and early peas. Oh and of course winter salad, it just keeps going .👍

lol i got the same tray, assuming its the polypropylene one made in england

I wish all you gardeners (especially British ones) would stop using this “zone x” business! It makes no sense to anyone in the rest of the world beyond the USA.
Give us an idea of minimum and maximum temperatures that the plant will stand, and the kind of soil it needs: Much more universal

Sorry to thumbs down this video but because of the bad AI audio translation the video is unwatchable:(

🤗🤗

I'm in Northern Ireland, I planted pea's in the greenhouse around the start of August, and I'm growing them up the tomatoes as the finish. They are flowering and podding up nicely. It was an experiment but it seems to be working well.

Wish you would show which country you are speaking from.

You are looking super healthy huw. It must be the good living and good eating. An inspiration as always

Hello from Romania! Can any type of broad beans be sown in October or only Aquadulce? I ve sown this year in february and had a crop in may.

So disappointed with supermarket Tom's. Low to high end supermarkets, makes no difference. That's why I grow my own.

It's still September down south.

I put my meteor pea straight into my bed. Doesn’t sound like that will work. Maybe I should rethink that idea 😂

We have a number of great edibles that are now self-sowing 'weeds' in our beds, including corn salad, claytonia and winter cress. Happy days!

Thanks for the great advice

3:53 incredible grandma energy by keeping your sowing supplies in one of those tins!

Hi Huw, great video on what we can sow this time of year, with plenty of hints & tips. Thanks for sharing and take 😊

Oh dear, back to the "Field Beans" Unknown except in the UK, the rest of us are left guessing and with no supply at all. Last year I went to a bulk food store (Canada) and bought various peas and beans (very cheap this way) and used those as a cover crop, with close to 100% germination too. But they aren't the mystery field beans though they grew very well till the frost got them. I think we will never know the field bean origin. Why won't the seed companies say?

I have winter pursulane popping up everywhere. I let it go to seed every year and it appears more is popping up every year. I do remove and place some of the plants on beds I want them to spread the following year. I like how easily it can be removed when it is time to make space in the beds.
Lambs lettuce is amother salad I let selfeseed.
My "helpers" have been shown both and warned to not weed it. 😊

Here in the California desert we are just getting started planting. Summer is our winter and our summer is starting to cool down. Go time!

Haven't had any luck with broad beans at all. The baby beans appear then within a few days they all drop off. I love broad beans and they aren't available in my local supermarket frozen or tinned.

What I notice most is how this video allows time for small details. I try to do the same whenever I film in my garden, because even simple things like moving branches or the sparkle of dew can feel meaningful when watched back.

Nice suggestions!

I'm in zone 3 in central Canada, and we've already had our first frosts in early September, so there is very little crossover. I did do an experiment last year with winter sowing several beds. I used up older seeds to make mixes (greens, root vegetable, tall and climbing things, etc.), scattered them in the beds shortly before the ground froze, then heavily mulched them. Some beds completely failed – the tall and climbing bed got destroy by our feral cat colony! – but others did amazingly well. If it weren't for those beds, we would have had next to nothing in the garden this years. Between a spring with hot days and too cold nights, to drought and heat waves, to constant smoke from wildfires, everything planted in the spring was at least a month behind and most just stagnated. Yet we still got things to harvest including, for the first time, kohlrabi. I'd been trying to grow those for years!

This year, I'll be doing it again, in a more organized fashion. I'll be planting our garlic in October, as usual, but will be interplanting probably with spinach and chard before heavily mulching for the winter. Other beds will be winter sown with carrots, beets, radishes (I grow those for their pods), possibly cabbage, choy, peas, etc. Most of my garden will be in before the ground freezes. Flowers, too. Because our winters get so cold, not only will the beds be heavily mulched, but the ones I can reach in winter will get more snow piled on top for extra insulation. In the spring, the mulches will be removed to allow the soil to warm in the sun.

Much of what you're suggesting here can probably be successfully winter sown in our climate zone, to germinate in the spring as soon as the ground is warm enough.

Claytonia…I sowed that in spring or early summer, forgot that I'd sown it and (because I'd never grown it before) pulled it out when it came up because although I vaguely recognised it I couldn't remember what it was called, nor whether it was edible!

It’s fun to watch your videos even though the ground is frozen 3 feet deep in the winter where I am 😅. That’s 91 centimeters for y’all in 🇬🇧.

Ahh makes me all excited to get sowing! Many thanks

Perhaps this is a matter of different local common names between the UK and the US: here in California, purslane is a succulent in the Portulaca family while what you showed as purslane is called Miner's Lettuce (maybe from the Gold Rush days?) and is in the Claytonia family. Both grow wild here and both are edible. I have unwittingly weeded both out of the garden in the past. 🙄

Hi Sir, how are you? Have you received my email?

Good information, thank you 🌱💚👍🏻✨️

Thank you

Perfect timing, I’m about to spend the afternoon catching up on seeding 😁

Huw, cherry tomatoes are amazing fermented whole. It is like a taste of summer in the winter. We put them on sandwiches because they do mush, but they taste amazing.

Love this brother contents, all his great knowledge and expertise. Keep teaching and inspiring. Blessed love!

That's miners lettuce shown not purslane?

Great video, some great tips, thank you!!
