What to sow in September
  
... how about the following which will all be quite happy started off outside – spring cabbages, endive, kohl rabi and winter lettuce Valdor. You can also make the last sowing of radish, winter spinach and turnips for greens & tops. If you are in a milder area you can also autumn sow Collards. Under cover you can grow broccoli raab calabrese & mini cauliflowers.
Fast growing cut-and-come-again salad leaves can be sown during September: Amaranth, Beetroot Bulls Blood, Celery Leaf, Chicory Palla Rosa, Chinese Cabbage, Corn Salad, Endives, Kale, Perpetual Spinach, Mibuna, Mizuna, Mitsuba, Namenia, Mustard Leaf, Orach, Pak Choi, Summer & Winter Purslane, Rocket, Senposai, Shungiku and Texel Greens – if frosts are likely then use cloches or fleece for protection. If you have a green house or polytunnel you can sow and grow these crops into October and they will be happy unless there are very hard frosts.
