🌱 Seasonal Growing Guide
SPRING
- Sow seeds in pots or plug plug trays (avoid using seed trays).
- If sowing in early spring use bottom heat to encourage germination or wait until mid-spring.
- 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.
- Transplant the seedlings when large enough & after frost risk has passed.
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.
ENJOY: aromatic and versatile
