Welcome to your December growing guide!
Here’s what’s in your box:
Start your own berry patch for next Christmas!
Fill a shallow tray with fine, well-draining compost and scatter all seeds evenly across the surface. Lightly press them into the soil and cover with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite. Keep the tray in a, warm spot and mist gently to keep the surface moist until germination.
Once seedlings emerge, ensure they get plenty of light. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging. In just 14–21 days, your microgreens will be ready to harvest, snip at soil level and enjoy their crisp, peppery flavour straight onto salads or sandwiches.

Sow seeds in pots of acidic peat free compost. Lightly cover the seeds with compost of vermiculite, can keep at around 18c for 2 weeks, then cover and place in the fridge for 3-6 weeks. After refrigeration, return to germination temperature, if germination does not occur in 6-10 weeks, repeat refrigeration.
Plant cranberries in acidic, moist soil with good sunlight. Space plants 30-40 cm apart and mulch to retain moisture. Water regularly, ideally with rain water especially in dry spells, and prune lightly to encourage bushy growth. Berries will appear in autumn; pick when fully red. Ideal for containers. Final height 15cm.
