Rachel de Thame gets started on a new cut-flower garden, in this programme clip from Gardeners' World. Here she shows you how to sow hardy annuals, such as nigella, directly outdoors in spring. Watch as she prepares the soil and sows in rows for easy picking of the flowers and seedheads all summer. Then, in another bed, she broadcast-sows a colour-themed cut-flower seed mix.
