Autumn Planting Vegetables

Keep growing all year round with our exciting collection of autumn planting vegetables. These vegetables are perfect for planting from the end of August through to October. Growing vegetables over winter is easier (fewer pests around + lots more rain = less effort) and will keep you in healthy fresh veg through the colder months, well into spring. Which ones will you pick?
