Meet Rachel Bull, our veg grower
I’m not sure I ever really liked peas as a kid. But I’ll always remember the first one I ate straight from my grandparents’ garden. It was the sweetest pea I’d ever tasted and it had me hooked – I just knew I wanted to grow my own food when I grew up. Fast forward a few decades and I’ve been growing fruit and veg for 15 years, chronicling the highs and lows on social media. I started growing in containers before moving to a garden big enough to keep chickens, with an allotment nearby. Our gardening spaces may have changed but one thing hasn’t – the satisfaction of growing from seed. Nurturing young plants can be very therapeutic and it’s much cheaper than buying them. Plus, homegrown vegetables taste approximately 679 times better than shop-bought equivalents!
Growing togetherI’m thrilled to be growing these edible seeds with you, and sharing my experiences, throughout 2024. Each month I’ll give you tips on how to grow the seeds you’ve received, and advice for growing on the seedlings we’ve already sown. I’ll share my progress and tips – and promise to admit when the slugs have had a party or the weather has set me back. Hopefully together we will harvest lots of basil, parsley, tomatoes, carrots, beetroot and rocket.

I grow vegetables across a few different areas. The allotment is our main space, but I like to have herbs by the back door in containers, within easy reach for cooking. We have a much-loved greenhouse at home which I’ll use for early sowings, but a sunny windowsill will do just as well. In fact, sometimes gentle heat above a

Soil Blocking: A Better Way to Start Seeds Indoors
Soil blocking is a seed-starting technique that uses cubes of compressed soil to grow healthy, vigorous plants. It’s my go-to method for starting vegetable, flower, and herb seeds and produces a lot of seedlings without the need for plastic pots or cell packs. The cubes of soil are made using metal soil blockers which come in a variety of sizes. Soil blocking isn’t difficult but there are a few points to keep in mind to boost success. Below you’ll learn all about soil blocking and the best way to make sturdy cubes of soil for seed starting.

New Veggie Varieties to Try This Year
For what seems like 8 million years, I have grown ‘Tomatoberry’. It’s a small cherry tomato variety that is not rare or superflashy, but it works well for me, so I stick with it. My gardening friends are similar: They plant the same varieties year after year because those varieties are proven performers and they don’t want to mess with what works. But when you rock the boat a bit, you occasionally stumble upon a new variety that is just as great, or perhaps even better, than the old standbys. That’s how I ended up replacing my ‘Sweet 100’s’ cherry tomatoes with ‘Tomatoberry’ many years ago. The following options may not be brand-new, but they have proven themselves to be reliable “newer” vegetables, and they might be good additions to your garden this season.
