Sow veg and herb seeds
GREENHOUSE SOWING should be in full swing. Raise crops from seed sown now in a heated propagator set to around 21ºC. Try tomatoes, sweet and chilli peppers, okra, aubergines, cucumbers and melons. Sow seeds individually in small pots or modules using good-quality seed compost in preference to multi-purpose compost.
Crops that will go outside later in spring/early summer can also be sown and given a head start, such as broad beans, celeriac, celery and salads. Herbs can be sown in pots or grown in modules for planting out, such as basil, parsley, chives, coriander, oregano and rosemary.
