Garden Late season crops Jo Arnell proves that, with a little planning, there’s still plenty to grow in the veg garden as colder months approach There might be gaps appearing on the plot this month. I’m hoping it means you’ve been able to celebrate all that hard work and harvest some produce, but it could well be that disaster has struck. Disasters come in many forms: life events, pests – even the weather can cause crops to fail. You may not have got round to growing anything yet (time flies when you intend to grow your own). Take heart and gather yourself. There are still plenty of vegetables that you can sow now that will mature in just a few weeks, or for a harvest later in the autumn and winter. It may be too late to sow plants that take a long time to grow, like leeks, parsnips, purple sprouting broccoli, but there is definitely still time. Fresh new crops for autumn and winter Sow some hardy vegetables now and you will have a supply of fresh produce for the coming season. Radishes, beetroot, mangetout, short carrots and dwarf beans can be sown now to harvest in under 12 weeks. You can make sowings of kale, Swiss chard, spinach and pak choi this month and have a supply of nutritious greens for autumn and, because these are hardy crops, right through the winter too. I grow a few stalwarts to last the winter; kale, Swiss chard and perpetual spinach are consistently reliable. Kale is hardy in the coldest of winters, heroically shrugging off frost and snow, but you may need to protect chard and spinach with a cloche. These plants do not grow much in the winter months, but will tick over and act like an outdoor larder, supplying you with fresh green leaves whenever you need them. Winter lettuces, mustards, pak choi and other oriental leaves are also surprisingly hardy. The good news about growing these crops at the end of the season is that the insect pests begin to disappear as the weather gets colder, but you may still need to net brassicas like kale, as pigeons find them irresistible and will shred any unprotected leaves. Productive patios Many vegetables are suitable for growing in containers; but remember that a plant in a pot is your prisoner and reliant on you for adequate food and water. Vegetables are greedy and often thirsty, so will need regular care and attention in Above: Keep an eye on the nutritional needs of any new plants and add more compost as needed. Some of the early crops may have depleted key soil nutrients, which may need to be replaced before the next round of growing starts. 117 wealdentimes.co.uk
