What to Sow in December
Below is our full range of seeds, suitable for sowing in December. The added benefit of winter sowing is that you’ll get a much better succession of harvests later on, compared to the fewer you’d get from spring sowings. Our top 5 ideas for vegetable seeds to sow in December are: Broad Beans, Onions, Mustard, Corn Salad (Lambs Lettuce), Microgreens
