Make sure you choose a netting with a mesh size that is small enough to stop birds from getting through but large enough to let through any pollinators. What never fails, however, is the pleasure I get from harvesting, cooking and eating home-grown produce.
We have already printed the date on the seed paper - you can just enter the days of the week yourself. Nitrogen-rich materials are usually lush, green or wet, like grass clippings, green leaves or vegetable peelings. We also offer an advice newsletter, a weekly reminder of what best to sow, transplant, harvest and other jobs, for the week ahead. There is no need to move them around over time, as they can stay in their original location from initial planting through to picking. For example, I do not recommend sowing spinach, as in true spinach not leaf beet, from late April through to late July.Follow along with this 12-month vegetable sowing planner to learn how to get the most from your garden all year. Companion planting is an effective and time-honoured way to create plant relationships that benefit each other, protect crops from pests and improve pollination. This year we focus on the wonders of the kitchen garden, growing a polyculture of plants to create a living space that is edible, useful and beautiful. Could you just confirm please, are these seeds going straight into prepared outdoor sites or are they seedlings grown inside being planted out?
The plantable sheets are at the back of the calendar and are easy to remove without losing any important birthdays or appointments in the process. After you have removed and planted the sheets of seed paper, you have an information booklet with beautiful illustrations that will help you get to know your plants. With a new year right around the corner, now is the perfect time for UK gardeners to start planning their veg-growing activities for the upcoming months. In October planting seeds for the following spring occurs, and the final harvest of the current year takes place.
From a student idea of designing sustainable and plantable calendars, a company with a team of 15 garden enthusiasts has since flourished. Many climbing plants, such as squashes, also tend to be thugs, so this is a canny way to keep them from bullying the rest of the vegetable garden. Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ. We get the seeds from the Bodensee area (Lake Constance), as well as from Frankfurt and North Rhine-Westphalia region.
Many beans and peas, for example, will grow happily over an arch and so don’t need to take up space on the ground.Rocket – A salad leaf that really lives up to its name; sow the seeds anytime from spring onwards and it will be ready to harvest in six weeks. They can be planted as early as February, but it is best to wait a little longer for the warmer months, such as March, April, and even May. The illustration and information pages are printed with eco-inks in an ecological printer in Nuremberg.
Give yourself at least a metre width between beds if you need to manoeuvre a wheelbarrow around or get a mower between them. I have created this calendar with my sister Bryony Middleton, Head Gardener at Sharpham Trust in Devon. The days are getting longer, temperatures are rising, and this is when you'll see a real burst of growth in your garden.
Our seed calendar is also perfect for urban gardeners, as the plantable seed paper can be sown on balconies or windowsills. Our enduring friendship has given Lockjaw Records ample opportunities to showcase our bands and Rob’s cocktail making skills are legendary by now. Some of the plants need to be pricked out and others can be planted directly in a garden bed or plant pot.
