November Seed Sowing

November is late autumn, and while outdoor sowing options are limited, it’s still possible to get a head start on next year’s crops by sowing indoors or in protected spaces. Ideal seeds to sow in November in the UK include chillies, sweet peppers, tomatoes, aubergines and hardy herbs like basil, parsley and coriander under grow lights or on a sunny windowsill. You can also sow microgreens, salad leaves and cress for a quick, fresh harvest throughout winter. For overwintering crops, plant broad beans or early onions in pots or cold frames to establish roots before spring. Using a heated propagator or bright indoor space ensures strong seedlings ready for transplanting when the weather improves.
