because we're talking about the jobs that we're doing at this time of year in September.

So starting at the early point, I thought I would kick off with the edibles and then Josie's

going to mainly cover the

ornamentals but I will chip in. So in terms of edibles, well of course hardy annuals are hardy

annuals and so they will take the frost and the wet and so those are the things that we're

concentrating on. So in terms of salad leaves there are loads. All the mustards, salad rocket,

Mitsuna, I love winter purse lane, and then into herbs. Surprisingly, coriander is a hardy

annual. People tend to think because it's from a, we use it in sort of curries and Thai cooking, that it comes, that's the sort of conditions that it

would like, but actually it doesn't. It's a hardy annual and it likes the shoulders of the year.

So we sew it in September and we sew it in March and we can crop it until Christmas and then it

tends to die back a bit, but by sewing it in March, we can then pick it until the summer.

So coriander is definitely on my September sowing this, really important.

So it's flat leaf parsley, giant of nappily is my favourite.

And then there are a few other things that we find surprisingly hardy and really, really

useful.

Cherville is a lovely, slightly anacety tasting herb that I use a lot of.
