Growing perennial vegetables can mean longer harvest periods, less maintenance once established, and even improved soil structure. But selecting the best ones for your grow zone and conditions is key.

June growing with Rachel
At the start of the year I wait, often impatiently, for seedlings to pop up. By June however I am amazed by the sheer speed at which things grow. Seedlings are waking up just days after being sown and there’s a real excitement when growing food that harvesting is just around the corner. Even if you haven’t sown any edibles yet, there’s still plenty of time to get a good harvest from sowing lots of seeds.
I’ve been growing vegetables and flowers across our garden and allotment for 15 years and this year I’m growing the free edible seeds that come with BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine. I’ll be sharing advice on starting seeds as well as my experiences on plants we’re growing on.
Sowing carrot seedsThere are some vegetables which indisputably taste better homegrown. The buttery-ness of new potatoes, the unrivalled flavour of freshly picked sweetcorn and the crisp sweetness of carrots – you can’t beat them.
Carrots are really straightforward to grow from seed and are such a lovely vegetable to get children involved with, as it’s never not exciting pulling one out to see how long it is! Seedlings don’t like being transplanted, so it’s best to start from seed and sow directly where they are to grow, preferably in a sunny spot. They can be directly sown into prepared soil in your garden or a container but I have always had much more success growing in planters. As long as the container is deep enough for your carrots, they really don’t take up much space and are a great edible for smaller spaces. Germination is normally straightforward, just ensure the soil doesn’t dry out, especially in the warmer weather.
It’s essential you prepare your soil – carrots like light, well-drained soil. I’ll be growing mine
