What vegetables should I plant in December?
For outdoor planting, sow winter-hardy salad leaves under cover, such as lettuce 'Winter Gem'.
What is the best crop to plant in December?
Swiss chard is a great choice for December planting; it’s very cold-tolerant and can survive dips to 15°F without protection. Other suitable crops include leeks, radishes, and turnips.
What can you plant in allotment in December?
For allotments, consider planting winter lettuces, garlic, broad beans, dormant bareroot fruit trees and indoor herbs. These are well-suited to withstand the colder temperatures.
Can you plant out in December?
Yes, December is a good time to plant, as it allows you to get ahead before spring. Winter-sown broad beans can be ready to harvest from May, while hardy annual flowers sown now can bloom several weeks earlier than spring-sown ones.
What vegetables can I grow in pots in winter?
Vegetables like cabbage, Brussels sprouts, beetroot, broccoli, kale, lettuce, radishes, onions, carrots, garlic, and broad beans all grow well in containers during winter.
