What to sow, month by month
Sowing at the right time makes all the difference. These monthly guides explain what to start, what to sow outside and what to harvest, with every crop chosen for pots, containers, balconies and tiny gardens.
Sowing times are based on typical UK conditions. Use them as a starting point, then adjust for your own space: a sheltered south-facing balcony warms up weeks before a shady courtyard.
