Sowing seeds: Part 2

Posted:14 April 2010

Pricking out seedlings, hardening off and sowing outdoors.  There’s still time to sow more half-hardy annuals and vegetables. If you haven’t already, sow under glass courgettes, marrows, pumpkins, sweetcorn and greenhouse cucumbers.  Outdoors, sow beetroot and turnips, peas and broad beans, broccoli, cabbage, carrots and chard amongst others.  Continue to sow lettuce and salad leaves.

Seeds sown a few weeks ago should be sprouting now and ready for pricking out.

Once established – four to eight weeks after pricking out – harden off young plants.

All hardy annuals and most half-hardy annuals can be sown directly outdoors.

The Garden House sells many hardy and half-hardy seeds – see SHOP on this website for more details.  Our seed packets are beautifully illustrated by Brighton illustrator Vicky Sharman – see PICTURES on this website to view the individual seed packets.
