What’s in the GROWBox?
- Cress – super easy to grow, and you will be eating them within days
- Pumpkin – large seeds are easier for little hands and you get to carve the pumpkins for Halloween!
- Sunflower – who doesn’t love to grow a sunflower, one of the world’s cheeriest little plants.
- Peas – super easy to grow and you can eat the little shoots or grow lots of lovely pea pods.
This box contains:
- Seed Packs x 4
- Cress
- Pumpkin (Jack be Little)
- Sunflower (Giant)
- Peas (Greenshaft)
- 1 Pencil and notepad – always a good plan to jot down your sowing dates, progress and good intentions..
- Plant Labels – no, you won’t remember what’s in each pot! Always label them..
- 8cm coir pots x 4 – for sowing some of your seeds in to
- Compost Discs x 4 – one for each pot (they bulk out when you add water)
- A little grow your own Guide (we’ve stuffed it with loads of stuff we’ve learned about growing)
-
Where to grow them:
- We recommend sowing the seeds on a windowsill inside your house to start. Put them somewhere sunny. They will look amazing.
- When the seedlings get a little bigger, we will be moving them in to bigger pots to grow them either inside or outside on your balcony, terrace, patio or veg patch.
- Remember, most veg do better in warm, sunny locations – just like humans really.
