February hints and tips…
Currently the soil is too wet for digging over, though debris and old plants etc can be cleared from the site ready for digging. This month continue to grow the Cereal Grasses indoors and some Plantain for variety, or perhaps some Sunflower Greens- also very nutritious.
Top selling seeds in January were, once again, the Cereal Grasses. It is good to know that guineas are being fed grass despite the cold weather outside. It is, at the moment, looking like Cereal Grasses will be taking the top spot for February too but Plantain is creeping up behind as more Humans are discovering just how easy it is to grow!
Our top tips for growing Cereal Grasses in February are to keep them away from areas prone to condensation and to ensure the soil is warm. Often the growing medium is cold which impedes growth, trying using warm water when spritzing and always keep in a warm room- move the tray around the house if necessary! Remember temperatures fluctuate with heating.
