Just be aware not that if there are cats in your neighbour hood, they might think you just made them a new toilet lol!!! You'll love the fruits of your labour when those first shoots poke through. Well done."
Flighty replied to Emma Drew's discussion Are there any veg I can sow now? (a novice asks)"Well done! Regardless of the size of your vegetable patch always go at your own pace, don't overdo it and above all enjoy what you do.
Regarding winter beans I would assume that Kathy is talking about broad bean varieties such as Aquadulce or…"

I had a really, really happy Sunday morning creating the world's smallest vegetable patch in my derelict garden. As you all suggested, I sowed radish, two types of spinach, and then some rocket that said it could be planted…"

Tania Richardson replied to Emma Drew's discussion Are there any veg I can sow now? (a novice asks)"Hi Emma.
Yes there is loads you can plant at this time of the year as the ground temperature is still quite warm. It's not to late for a few salad crops like radish and winter lettuce but it might be worth investing (or making) a cloche to…"
Caroline Turner replied to Emma Drew's discussion Are there any veg I can sow now? (a novice asks)"Chinese greens will work too at this time, and I'm hoping to sow the packet of radicchio seeds that came free with Gardens Illustrated this month, worth a try. Onion sets are in the hort. merchants now, but if you've only got 6-9 months…"
Ally replied to Emma Drew's discussion Are there any veg I can sow now? (a novice asks)"Im not sure how well it will go but im going to try planting another window box of lettuce before it gets cold to see what happens, I guess It can always go in the pop-up greenhouse later on. All my gardening is purely experimental. I was going to…"
Gillian Carson replied to Emma Drew's discussion Are there any veg I can sow now? (a novice asks)"Yes sow winter lettuce now - I sowed some Arctic King and Winter Gem in my coldframe. You can also do some over-wintering onion sets and throw in some Tulips for some nice cutting flowers come spring. Good luck!"

Flighty replied to Emma Drew's discussion Are there any veg I can sow now? (a novice asks)"Vegetables that you can sow now include overwintering onions, salad leaves, spinach and turnips."
Jonathan Brealey replied to Emma Drew's discussion Are there any veg I can sow now? (a novice asks)"Winter radish varieties can go in now, ready to be over wintered. Japanese onions can be sown now too. Garlic is best planted now too, but it wont be ready anytime soon. Google what to plant in September."

I've got a tiny derelict garden and I'm going to turn half of it into a veg plot. I'd like to get going asap as I may only have the garden in its current state for 6-9 months (I'm impatient to get gardening!). Is there anything I can sow at the moment? Or do I need to be very patient and wait? Thanks for any advice!EmmaSee More
