Absolute beginners to vegetable growing: seasonal vegetables

What you will learn:

• Understanding seasonal nature of growing vegetables.
• Success with growing vegetables from seed and seed saving techniques.
• Introducing less common vegetables and how to grow them.

What you will get:

• Notes to take home.
• A seed raising box planted out on the day with seasonal vegetables.

Knowing what to plant when gets you on the pathway to success and you can count yourself as a real gardener when you don’t need to rely on buying seedlings for your patch. Starting from seed is a bit art and a lot science so you will look at different techniques for success and then how to save and store the seed at the other end to continue the cycle from year to year.

This is the second of three related workshops, the others being on your patch from scratch and soil and pests. Ideally, you would attend all three.
