🌱 Seasonal Growing Guide

SPRING

  • Sow seeds in pots or plug trays. If sowing in early spring use bottom heat. 
  • Once seedlings are large enough to handle, pot them up and continue to grow on.
  • Water early in the day to reduce the risk of damping off.

SUMMER

  • Pinch out flower buds to keep the plant leafy and prolong harvest.
  • Pick leaves regularly for best flavour.

AUTUMN

  • With some care, you can extend your harvest into winter.
  • Plants may need feeding or repotting to keep them vigorous.
  • Dig up old plants from the garden and prepare for next year.
