Gardeners need to sow their vegetables at the right time of year and in the right place. Some can be sown directly into the ground outside, while others need to be planted indoors for more protection and warmth.
The majority of vegetables should be sown in Spring and harvesting typically starts in mid-Summer.
This guide helps you to identify what to be sowing, growing and stowing away, but for help getting started check out our guide About Growing Your Own Food.
For more information about what to pick from the forest garden and to forage at different times of the year, check out our News/ blog pages. There, you can filter by category to find what we have shared over the years – ranging from “Food” info in general, to “Foraging” and “Recipes”.
Just click on the month (below) to view the details of what fruit and veg to plant, grow and harvest at the optimal times throughout the year….
(We’re building up this repository each month, so keep checking back for more info as the green pages to click increase.)
This colour-coded Veg Planner from RHS is worth a look for a visual chart of what to sow, grow and harvest as well. It provides a quick overview of the most common vegetables to grow at various times of the year.
