Sally Nex's guide to what to sow in March

So your seed stash is spread over the potting bench and you’ve stocked up on seed compost for smaller seeds, and multipurpose compost for larger ones. You’ve even bought a new pack of bamboo plant labels. Now what?

For now, you’ll need to sow everything under cover, in a greenhouse or on a sunny windowsill – it’s still too cold to sow direct and expect good results in the UK, and even then it’s hardy veg like beetroot, carrots and chard only.

The trick is to match your container to the type of seed you’re sowing – then you can give them exactly the conditions they need. Just four different types of seed container cover all my seed-sowing needs: stick to these and you can’t go far wrong.
