GREEK BASILBasil is perfect for growing in pots. It has a sweet, aniseed flavour and is perfect with your tomatoes. You will know when it needs watered as it will start to wilt.
CARROT NANTES
Carrots are high in the antioxidant beta carotene which converts to Vitamin A (to keep our bones, teeth and skin healthy). This cheeky chappie is fast growing and great for sowing early. Bright orange in colour and sweet to taste.
NASTURTIUM ‘Tom Thumb’ These little fire-crackers look great and you can eat the leaves and flowers! They have a peppery flavour and are great for growing on windowsills, containers and pots. They are fab for decorating cupcakes.
CHERRY TOMATOES
Did you know that a tomato is actually a fruit… not a veggie as it grows from a flowering plant. What would we do without them… no pizza or pasta sauce! That’s why there are over 7500 different varieties of tomato around the world! Delicious, sweet flavour and can be grown inside or out.

If sowing directly outside, sow seeds from end May after all risk of frost has passed. You may have to give them a little hand by staking them to keep them standing.
