Vegetables to Sow in August

If you have not yet sown your spring cabbages for next year, now is the time to do it. A good variety ‘Precoce de Louviers’ spring cabbage can be sown in late August or September, the seeds are available from the excellent Real Seed Catalogue . Full size cabbages are only really suitable if you have beds and plenty of space to grow them as they need to be planted a couple of feet apart, which would mean only one plant per pot or container. If you are growing in containers you are far better off with cut and come again leaves like spinach and Nero Di Toscana kale.
