You can find more information, photos and advice sheets, Sarah Raven, and my mate Arthur Parkinson.

Today, it's just the two of us actually.

We've got no guess because we want to cover something really, really important, which is so key at this time of year.

And it's to try and jolt you all into taking it seriously.

And what it is is autumn sewing.

I definitely find there's massive gains from doing autumn sewing,

both of cut flowers and some container plants,

which we'll talk about, and also a few veg. So I'm a great fan of the autumn sew. Are you,

Arthur? I think, yeah, increasingly, actually. I think it's nice to sew in the autumn when

Yeah. I mean, yours, I mean, violas, the pansy family, it's getting a tiny bit late, isn't it, to sew them, but not too late?

To be honest, I mean, violas, I do find a little bit trick of a germination. I do do a few from seed if I can't find the varieties as a plug.

Okay.

But more this time here, to be honest, I am trying to order in things like Viola Tiger Eye quite often as a plug.

If I've got the seed, now I've got the seed this year, actually, my mum blessed her. She's been saving the seed pods in anticipation, so I've got a lovely little brown envelope of Millard, Vola, Taga Eye. And that's

fresh seed, so hopefully it will, it will germinate. Viola's like it cooler, so hopefully we
