Thompson & Morgan: Guide to Seed Sowing

A seed is an embryonic plant waiting to get out. It's the pleasurable task of any gardener to turn the seed from dormancy into a living thing by providing warmth, light, air and moisture.

Seeds even have their own food supply to start them off, at least until they can put down roots and draw food and water from the soil or compost.

Some seeds are not fussy about the conditions that trigger them into growth and many weed seeds fall into that category. Others however are so sensitive they require a carefully controlled environment to germinate.

To aid you with your seed sowing here at Thompson & Morgan we have put together some seed sowing charts.

Simply select the option you require from the drop-down box below.
