S1 Ep 47: Don't Miss the Second Spring: Early Autumn is not the end of the growing year!

In this weeks episode, Martha and Jamie ensure that you do not miss the second spring! the early-autumn window for sowing crops that can feed you through winter and into next year. From winter radish, cold hardy greens, and winter lettuces, to Asian greens and even quick carrots, they provide ideas for all growing spaces and contexts. There is also a practical guide to planting hardneck and softneck garlic, covering cold requirements, scapes, storage and spacing. Martha then travels back to the intensive market gardens of nineteenth-century Paris, where horse-manure hotbeds, cloches and walls helped growers crop throughout the year, and how those principles could be used in our gardens today.
