As we leave summer behind and approach autumn we enter one of the busiest months for harvesting so the rush to plant and sow begins to slow down. Yet there are still crops to sow! It’s worth sowing some overwintering onions ready for spring. Try our Shinkiu Onion which produces large golden bulbs.

You can see our current range of seeds on our online shop here and remember all the seeds grown here at Irish Seed Savers, are 100% Organic and Open Pollinated.

We think of lettuce as a summer crop but actually they don’t like too much heat and are surprisingly hardy. If you have have a polytunnel you can plant a wide variety of winter salads that will provide you with fresh greens until the spring. Now that you have a bit of extra space from harvesting you can also try Calabrese, chard, coriander, dill, lettuce, pak choi, parsley, scallions and spinach.
