Key Point 1: Successful Autumn Seed Sowing
Autumn seed sowing can be trickier than spring sowing, but it has its benefits. Using fresh seeds, especially when using your own harvested seeds, is crucial. It's important to keep the seeds moist to prevent them from drying out. Patience is key as autumn-sown seeds may not germinate as consistently or rapidly as spring-sown seeds. Transplant the seedlings as they occur and leave the trays and pots for others to germinate in their own time.
