Any suggestions on what to grow for winter? What can I sow now - rocket, lettuce? Am I too late for sugar-peas? I'm in Dublin, by the way, and hello gardeners!

Oh, thanks, GPI, that's excellent. I'm thinking about putting in some tares to condition the soil for next year; I was also wondering about mushroom compost - dunno where to find it, though.

Oh, the clover's a good idea. I'm ordering some seeds and a catalogue from Chiltern Seeds; maybe I'd get some there.

Hi Mala,
for bulk ORGANIC clover seed in Ireland try http://www.fruithillfarm.com/ .
You get a lot of seed for 10-12 euro, but postage is a bit heavy. They are near Bantry, Co.Cork
