Charles Dowding’s Monthly Seed Collections have been updated for 2027, incorporating the latest varieties from Charles’s tried and tested range. These collections will provide you with tasty, reliable crops for a full season of fresh produce.
This collection is created for June sowings – a vital time for starting seeds to secure crops in autumn and late summer, with 11 varieties including Charles’s own Lettuce Mix (perfect time for second sowing), his favourite Runner Bean Scarlet Emperor and the compact Bean Safari that keeps producing over a long period.
“June is a critical month for sowing to ensure harvesting through to late autumn, beds are best replenished by twisting out spent plants and replanting without adding new compost. It’s often said that you can’t germinate lettuce under cover in summer, because it’s too hot for that – however, this is not true. I have always found that germination and growth is very reliable, as long as you keep newly sown trays out of sunlight for the first four days.”
