Visual spring seed sow along guides for growing the best cut flowers of your life!
We’ve all experienced it where we get all excited buying a packet of seeds and then it arrives and we question whether we are sowing it the correct way, we look at seed sowing guides, give it a good go and hope for the best, but sometimes we also like something visual that we can literally follow along and copy step by step, as a comforting guide to give us the extra confidence we are growing our seeds in the best possible way! That is why every day in March I have sown one of every single annual and perennial in the Higgledy Garden shop, so you can always have a visual guide on how to sow your seeds! Now do not worry if you are reading this after March there is loads of time to grow annuals and perennials in fact for most seeds April to May is the absolute best time of year to get sowing so you are in plenty of time to grow along, I just started mine in March so you could have visual sowing guides ready for when you needed them!
