What to Sow Next

Once you’ve pulled your final carrot, lifted the last of your onions, or cut that final head of lettuce, you’re left with a golden opportunity: free space and time to sow again. That’s where our “What to Sow Next” tool comes in.

Designed with UK gardeners in mind – whether you’re growing in an allotment, raised bed, container, or a full field – this tool helps you plan your second (or even third!) sowing with confidence.

Whether you're following a strict crop rotation or simply want to make the most of your growing season, we've got you covered.

How to Use the “What to Sow Next” Tool

• Select the Crop You Just Harvested
  Start by choosing what you’ve just pulled from the soil. This helps the tool understand what nutrients may have been used and what diseases or pests might be lingering in the soil.
  
  
• Choose When You Harvested It
  Timing matters. Select the season – Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter – when the harvest happened. This ensures you get sowing suggestions that are seasonally accurate.
  
  
• Decide if You Want to Follow Crop Rotation
  Not everyone does, but if you want to reduce disease, manage soil nutrients, and increase yields over time, tick this box. It’ll filter suggestions to only show crops suitable for your rotation plan.
  
  
• Get Your Personalised Sowing Suggestions
  You’ll get a tailored list of crops you can sow right now in the same space. Each vegetable links to our seed shop so you can grab what you need without the guesswork.
