Sowalong
Sow along with the magazine team to sow the seeds supplied in the magazine, along with additional seeds for growing inspiration too.
Welcome to the BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Sowalong podcast series – the podcast that inspires you to grow vegetables, flowers and herbs from seed. Find advice for successful germination, growing healthy crops and impressive blooms in these friendly and fun bite-size podcasts.
Sowalong - Brussels Sprouts, with Sarah Edwards
Brussels sprouts are one of the more divisive vegetables but they're associated with a reduced risk of developing a wide range of cancers, so sprouts are believed to be very good for you.
Sowalong - Carrots, with Kevin Smith
A staple in the veg plot and, with many varieties available, carrots could be in your plot this year too.
Sowalong - Potatoes, with Adam Frost
One of the easiest things to grow in the garden says Adam Frost and you'll be digging up potato 'jewels' later in the year.
Sowalong - Cornflowers, with Matt Biggs
You'd hardly believe that cornflowers that are so familiar in cottage gardens were actually introduced to Britain thousands of years ago. And we're so familiar with them that we just think of them as one of our own.
Sowalong - Cucumbers, with Claire Vennis
There's nothing quite like biting into a fresh, crunchy cucumber straight from the plant and if you haven't tried to grow cucumbers from seed yet, this could be the year to do so.
Sowalong - Coriander, with Catherine Mansley
One of the oldest cultivated spices that we know of, coriander is bursting with health benefits and every part of coriander is edible.
Sowalong - Broad beans, with Claire Vennis
Broad beans can be grown in the ground, in raised beds, or in pots, and are a great source of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as protein and fibre.
Sowalong - Nigella, with Sonya Patel Ellis
Sow Nigella seeds for a mass of beautiful flowers through the summer months, followed by gorgeous balloon like seed capsules in autumn.
Sowalong - Radish, with Sarah Edwards
Crunchy, bright and full of peppery flavour, the radish is one of the quickest and easiest crops to grow.
Sowalong - Snapdragons, with Matt Biggs
They're fun plants and they get their name from the fact that if you gently squeeze the mouth of the flower it opens wide, just like a Chinese dragon.
Sowalong - Cosmos, with Adam Duxbury
Easy to grow and reliable, says Adam Duxbury from the BBC Gardeners' World magazine team. Cosmos will reward you with weeks of beautiful flowers that fit into lots of different planting styles
Sowalong - Tomatoes, with Adam Frost
Tomatoes are fun to grow, with many different varieties to choose from, and they taste so much better home-grown than from the shops, says Adam Frost.
