Vegetable Seeds to Sow in Spring

As the soil begins to warm, spring offers the perfect window to sow the season’s vegetables and get ahead before the busy summer months arrive. It’s also an excellent time to plant garlic, shallot and onion sets, as well as seed potatoes, giving your veg patch a strong start.

For an even more vibrant and productive plot, explore our companion planting flowers and herb seeds — ideal for attracting pollinators, deterring pests and creating a thriving, balanced garden ecosystem.

When your seeds arrive, simply check the packet for guidance - some varieties are best started in pots or trays before planting out, while others can be direct sown straight into the soil. If you need some fresh compost and pots to grow your vegetable seeds in, head over to our potting shed section to order those too. 

We’re passionate about helping everyone enjoy growing their own food, no matter their experience or the size of their space. You’ll find varieties suited to large gardens, compact patios and even window boxes.
