How to start your vegetable seeds?
1. Carrots like to be sown directly in their final spot. You can sow them in a row and thin them out once they are bigger.
2. We like to multisow leeks them ad roughly 3 to 4 seeds in one cell of a seed tray and plant them out in a clump.
3. Sugar peas have deep root systems so you can either start them in a deep seed tray or sow them in their final spot. Be sure to protect them from slugs and bunnies!
4. Curly kale can be sow in seed trays and transplanted once they have developed their first true leaves.
5. Beetroot also works great multi sown, ad 3 to 4 seeds in one cell of a seed tray and plant them out in a clump.
6. With radish you can go two ways, They don’t like to be moved about too much so sowing them directly might result in a bigger harvest. But you could start them in a seed tray as long as you are careful when transplanting them.
