Recopilación: What Seeds to Sow in October: Northern Europe

Discover seeds to sow in October in Northern Europe, from hardy annual flowers to cool-season vegetables and herbs for protected growing. October is a good time to sow calendula, cornflowers, nigella and poppies for earlier flowers next year, while sweet peas can be started under cover. Spinach, coriander and selected salad crops can also be sown in a cold frame, greenhouse or other sheltered space.

In colder, wetter or more exposed areas, sow in pots or under protection rather than directly into open ground. Choose well-drained soil and adjust timing according to your local conditions.
