Kitchen GARDEN

Sow

Adding a sprig of fresh PARSLEY or CORIANDER will improve the taste and nutrition of any meal. Sow seed in containers at a depth of 20-60cm. Try shallow-rooted veges such as RADISHES, SALAD GREENS, ASIAN VEGETABLES and SPINACH in containers at this time of year. Wait until spring for annual herbs such as basil and parsley, unless you have a warm, sheltered spot.

Fast-growing and highly seed can be sown now for a spring harvest, either directly into the ground or into trays filled with seed-raising mix for planting out later. For a treat, try ‘Pink Stem’ or sow a mesclun-kale blend () and eat fresh or steamed. Protect seedlings from snails.
