Calendar
Seed Grow Kit Guide
Begin your Balcony Grow Box indoors between February and May by sowing seeds in peat-free compost-filled pots. Place your containers in a sunny spot to provide the warmth and light these flowers and herbs need for healthy growth.
Sowing
Sow seeds directly into warm, damp, well-drained soil, lightly covering them to aid germination. Keeping the soil consistently moist and in a sunny location will help seeds sprout successfully.
Growing
Once seedlings have emerged, thin them out to prevent overcrowding and ensure strong development in your containers. This is especially important for balcony plants grown in limited space, allowing each plant enough room to flourish during the growing months of June to September.
Plant care
Water your Balcony Grow Box regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, adjusting as temperatures rise through summer. Pinch back herbs and deadhead flowers to encourage bushier growth and prolong flowering throughout the season, ensuring a vibrant display in your balcony garden.
