As summer approaches, it’s the perfect time to get your garden in shape and full of life. Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just starting out, sowing seeds is a rewarding way to breathe colour and vitality into your outdoor space. And with longer days and warmer weather, summer offers ideal conditions for nurturing plants from seed.
There’s still plenty you can sow in early to mid-summer. For vegetables, try crops like lettuce, radishes, beetroot, carrots, and spring onions, but make sure you choose the quick-growing varieties. These can be harvested quickly, giving you fresh produce straight from the garden. French beans and courgettes can also thrive if sown now in the right conditions.
If you are looking to sow flower seeds, why not get started on some of those biennials and perennials or hardy annuals? Herbs like basil, coriander, and dill also do well when sown in warm soil and provide fantastic flavours for your seasonal dishes.

Sowing seeds isn’t just great for your garden – it’s good for the environment and your wellbeing too. Growing from seed reduces plastic waste from store-bought plants, and it helps you connect with nature, reduce stress, and enjoy the simple pleasure of watching something grow from the soil up.
With the weather warmer, remember to water wisely. Early mornings or evenings are the best times to water. This helps avoid evaporation and keeps seedlings hydrated. Think about how you can provide the ideal conditions for your seeds. Young seedlings can get scorched in the midday sun. Use shade cloth or place in a slightly sheltered spot, depending on the type of plan.
So grab your seeds and CoirCoins, and get ready to enjoy a summer garden bursting with life, colour, and flavour.
