Welcome to your November growing guide!
Here’s what’s in your box:
Grow a salad on your windowsill.
Soak Parsley Pea seeds in water for 8–12 hours (up to 24 hours is fine, but not longer) to soften the shells and speed up germination. Spread the seeds densely across the surface of peat free compost or coir and cover with a thin 1-2 cm layer.Can also be grown on soil free microgreen mats.
Keep the tray in a warm spot until germination, which usually takes 3-5 days. Once the shoots appear, move them to bright, indirect light. Microgreens are ready to harvest in 14 – 21 days, when 10-15 cm tall; snip just above the first leaves to encourage a second or even third cut.
Blog – How to sow and grow microgreens
Surface sow onto moist compost and just cover. Lettuce will not germinate in hot weather, so do not supplement heat and avoid sowing in the hottest days of summer. Plant out after last frost.
Heat tolerant and slow to bolt. When you harvest lettuce, you can just remove the lower, outer leaves to significantly extend your harvest period as the plant will continue to grow. Regular succession sowing will ensure a continuous crop.
