    Thank you for advice, but a few more questions if you could help, these may sound a bit silly to you but i am a complete novice here. My packet of carrot seeds contains 1600 seeds, Does 1 seed produce 1 carrot?, And what is 'Thinning'? Also any advice on what salad leaves to grow on my windowsill? Thank you very much for your help. I'll keep in touch as to how i get on as i find this site and forum is superb for the novice grower. Read more..

    Ok, Thanks all, I've got a window propogator kit for my windowsill and i've bought some 4cm square fibre pots to start seedlings. These will be for growing Mint and Parsley ( i thought this would be easy to start off with ). The fibre pots do not fill the seed tray as there were none to fit exactly in the shop. I have filled them with some potting compost and gave them a bit of water and they are sitting on my window sill out the kitchen( in the propogator ). I intend to plant my seeds tomorrow Read more..

The containers i have are 23"Long by 15"Wide by 16"High, Are these big enough to grow carrots and beetroot from seed? I would also like to know how many seeds to plant and at what distance apart, and when to plant? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as my little one is quite keen to get going, Thanks Read more..
