What Seeds to plant in January

It’s a good idea in January to raise your seedlings in containers in a shady spot. Water with a gentle mist throughout the day aiming to keep the soil slightly damp.

Once they are ready to be planted up, harden them off and replant in the evening to reduce stress.

Watering in with a weak solution of seaweed or worm juice to help combat transplant shock.

Applying water retention granules to your garden beds can reduce water use by up to 50% and will make the most of every drop of water.
