Seeds of vegetables suitable for overwintering
There’s a range of vegetables suitable for sowing in late autumn so that they overwinter in the ground and get going earlier in spring. Overwintering plants in this way produces an earlier crop – so it’s a great way of extending the gardening season.
These kinds of vegetables are not just resistant to the cold – they also use the cooler conditions to grow slowly, which often produces better quality and a more intense flavour. It’s important to select the specific varieties suitable for overwintering and to prepare the ground well so that the plants come through the cold season successfully.
Typical overwintering vegetables are garlic, Welsh onion, spinach and many selected varieties of salad greens, carrots, peas and brassicas.
