Take out the seed packets to begin the new garden year

Even the most diehard gardeners will spend a good part of January indoors, be that finalising rotation plans or simply browsing through new seed catalogues. 

If you have not yet received any catalogues in the post, go online or pick up the phone and download/order your preferred seed supplier’s 2015 catalogue now.

Imagining your garden in July bursting with bounty and teaming with vegetables, herbs and edible flowers is the perfect antidote to these grey, long January days.
