Nice to seed you, to seed you... nice

SEEDS want light and heat to germinate so either a heated propagator or nice sunny windowsill are the best spots.

If you are using a windowsill, turn seedlings daily so they don’t grow lopsided. You’ll also need some fresh seed compost and some pots or trays.

If you are reusing last year’s pots, give them a good scrub first to clean them out so there are no nasties lurking such as fungal diseases.

Here’s a taste of what you can sow this weekend, a selection of easy-togrow bedding plants that will delight in summer.
