Although the wintery weather is not fully complete with a full mixture of frost, wind and heavy rain, the weeds are beginning to grow as you may be aware. This is a good indicator that the ground is warm enough to encourage growth. The other reason is because the school growing season needs to be finished before the summer holidays, many plants need a good head start to get established as quickly as possible.
Here are some of our gardeners sowing in one of the beds.
Why not have a go for yourself? Many seeds are cheap at the moment in the shops or ask someones you know if they have a few spare seeds to share and plant them somewhere in a pot or a border and see what happens.
It is great fun watching the seeds germinate and start growing into a tiny seedling. Most seed varieties don't need too much attention, only a bit of watering as it gets bigger.
Then you get to taste the delights of your labours.
