Can I sow seeds in October?
October is Pea & Bean month as it’s pretty much your last chance of sowing directly before the onset of winter and it becomes too wet and cold. Winter lettuces are another good option to sow in October, as they also lend themselves to sowing in containers. You can sown seeds at various times of the year, depending on the type and variety of seed. April is usually the time when there is a more intense flourish of seed sowing. The longer days and warmer temperatures mean that the conditions for sowing successful seeds outside are better.Exposure to cold temperatures and moist conditions breaks dormancy and the seeds germinate when temperatures increase in the spring. Winter sowing is the process of planting seeds outdoors in a container during the winter months. The container remains outdoors until the seedlings emerge in the spring.
