- What vegetable seeds can you sow in August? Well August is a great time to think about extending your growing season and to start planning for your autumn and winter veg. August is also a fantastic time to start to fill some of those gaps in your growing areas as some of your earlier veg are harvested.
There is still plenty of choice and it is not to late to sow a wide range of vegetable seeds as the warmer conditions and longer days provide an excellent environment for outdoor sowing. In this video I share with you 14 different vegetable seeds that I will be sowing in August along with my favourite varieties to give you some suggestions which I hope you will try for yourself.
I would love to know what vegetables you are sowing in August so please let me know of any suggestions you have including varieties; in the comments below the video.

I’ve just started Spring Onions, Spinach Beet, more Radishes and Beetroot 🤞.
I’d like to do more potatoes but wouldn’t be able to move the container if the weather turns. Next year I hope to do a main crop and some earlies, so I can enjoy more homegrown potatoes 🥔 😊
Thank you very much for your comment Charlotte which is greatly appreciated. You have started a good range of veg that should give you a good supply through the autumn and winter. Also, although they can take up a lot of space it is always worth growing as many potatoes as you can. Kind regards. Gary
I'm glad you liked the French Breakfast radishes. Unfortunately I have no luck with radishes. They grow best in spring and fall, and where I live there's hardly anything but winter and summer. People often say they're a super easy crop, but in some places they're about the hardest vegetable to grow. Thanks for the suggestions; your garden looks great!
Thank you for your comment which is really appreciated. It’s a shame that you have difficulty with radish as they are such a lovely veg. Kind regards. Gary

Ailsa Craig onions are another one to sow for overwintering

Hi Sheila, thank you for your comment which is really appreciated. If you plant your beets in a nice bright spot you should get a good crop before the cold weather arrives. Kind regards. Gary
@@TheAllotmentGardenandKitchen thank you Gary.
Chicory is so east to grow, you just can’t kill it.
Thank you very much for the heads up. That is useful to know as I will be growing Chicory for the first time. Kind regards. Gary
I’ll have to try that then I have some things doing exceptionally well, especially my tomatoes, courgettes and leeks but others I just can’t seem to do, but I will keep trying and learning x
I left a few radicchio to go to seed cos they produce stunning blue cornflower type blooms all summer. The flower spikes do need support I grow mine near my trellis
@@margaretalice6343 thank you very much for the advice which is greatly appreciated. Kind regards. Gary
I grew it last year left some to flower (very pretty) they self seeded and I have many volunteer plants 😂. Still trying to figure out the best way of blanching it as it is very bitter.

Thank you very much for your question. I’m also in zone 8 but based right in the centre of the UK in the West Midlands. Kind regards. Gary
@@TheAllotmentGardenandKitchen all we seem to get here is rain and wind the past few weeks, we have had a good crop of cabbage kale and swede so far, the runners are only just starting to produce, we have lots of green tomatoes, no bell peppers as of yet tho, the herb garden is coming along well as are courgettes and butternuts
@@lewisgardner1660 I know what you mean we’ve had a lot of rain here too and I’ve had similar luck with my crops this year. Kind regards. Gary
