How to grow our Veg Plants
Sending plants by post may cause them a little stress, so unpack them immediately and if dry, stand them for a few minutes in about 2 ½cm/1in of water, until the compost is fully moist again. You may notice a slight yellowing of the foliage or that they look a little drawn but this is quite natural after they have been in a dark box and is nothing to be worried about, they will soon recover.
Artichoke, bean, celery and sweetcorn seedlings are intolerant of frost. In mild areas they can be planted out immediately but it is advisable to keep some fleece handy just in case there are still any chilly nights. In colder areas it is best to first plant them in a tray of compost and keep indoors until all risk of frost has passed. After finally planting those out we again recommend covering with fleece if cold nights are forecasted.
To protect your young plants from slugs. If you want to grow our brassica plants in land where club root has been a problem, grow on them on in 9cm pots first. When they’re ready for planting, dig out a hole approx. 30cm/12in deep and square and fill it with Premium Compost and plant them in the compost.
