Instructions

Put a few pebbles in the pot, so that you can’t see the bottom of it. Sprinkle compost on top of the stones – fill up a quarter of the pot. Then, lay a seed or bulb on top of the compost and in the centre of the pot. If you’re planting lots of seeds, spread them across different pots. If you’re putting more than one seed in a pot, they’ll need equal amounts of space between them. Add compost until the pot is three quarters full. Push the compost down gently and place the pot in a sunny place. Water your seeds or the base of the plant (not the leaves) every evening.
