Keep soil evenly moist to encourage quick, even growth.
Harden off indoor-raised plants gradually before moving them outside.
Water well after planting to help roots establish.

Use fresh for the best flavour, colour or display quality.

💡 Top Tips

Sow little and often for crops where repeat harvests are useful.
Keep young plants weed-free so they are not competing for light and nutrients.
Check plants regularly during warm weather, as containers and raised beds can dry quickly.
