Growing salad leaves doesn’t have to end with summer. With the right varieties, timely planting and protection from winter wet, you can keep harvesting fresh leaves for months.
Late summer doesn’t have to mean the end of growing. Choose quick-cropping vegetables and you can still enjoy fresh leaves and crunchy radishes before hard frosts arrive.
September is one of the busiest months in the garden, when harvesting overlaps with sowing and planting for next year. A little planning now brings earlier flowers, healthier beds, and less work in spring.
July doesn’t have to mean the sowing season is over. Choose fast-maturing crops and cool-season favourites and you’ll be picking fresh produce long into autumn.
