The Complete Guide to Sowing Systems with Sarah Raven & Arthur Parkinson - Episode 51

As we settle into 2022 and begin to plan for the year’s most delightful flowers, it’s the perfect time to share how to grow from seeds, a process that’s incredibly rewarding and yields beautiful pots full of healthy plants.

To create a complete cutting garden you’ll need to sow some seeds yourself. This episode of ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ is the A-Z of all we know about sowing systems; you’ll learn which varieties thrive on root disturbance, when to use root trainers, growing in gutters, using heated propagators, and the 5 T’s of direct sowing.

In this episode, discover:

• Which sowing systems we’ve found the best success with • How to sow carefully, treating your seed like gold dust • The varieties that either love or lament having root disturbance • Types of peat-free compost that have underperformed for us, and the new mix we’re trialling at Perch Hill
