This week's job around the garden - sowing seeds of vegetable plants

* Maybe you don’t want to be part of the greater movement into greening Cork and making it more productive — or maybe you just want to grow a few bits for your own home — so there’s no time like the present.

* Time to get sowing seeds of veg plants now. Some may have been started earlier in the glasshouse or cold-frame.

If you’re using last year’s materials such as seed trays and tools, make sure they have been give a good clean and disinfected so that no disease is passing on from last year.
