Grow Your Own  |  Feb-22
Winter may feel like it has been
going on for some time now, but for
gardeners, this is an exciting time
of year, filled with anticipation.
Spring is almost here and those sowing fingers
are itching!
It may be wise to hold off on certain crops for a
little while yet – but there are some seeds you can start
now. Anne Swithinbank is sowing parsnips (pg.34),
Mark Lane is discussing planting a mix-and-match plot
(pg. 38) and David Domoney is getting bulbs in the
ground (pg.50).
As well as this, we have a bumper RHS advice
section for you this month, covering everything from
sweet peppers (pg.18) to aubergines (pg.24), cardoons (pg.28) to oca (pg.31) and
much more – so there is plenty to keep you busy!
In the absence of bumper-loads of veg to sow this month, it is also a great time
to look at the beautiful blooms you can add to your space, and this month we will
be looking at flowers that benefit pollinators, wellbeing – and even your plate!
As ever, we’d love to hear about what is going on in your garden this season,
so do get in touch on the social media handles below. You can find the latest
#growwithgyo topics on page 77, so remember to join in the conversation and get
sharing your pics!
Happy growing!
