If you are planning to grow vegetables, before you start buying seed:
* decide which vegetables you want to grow
* list those vegetables
* make a chart of how many of these veg you will eat each month

* Remember you need variety each day, not a glut of one veg
* Just plant as many seeds as you require, with a couple for luck
* Save the space from unwanted veg, for different ones
* Do some calculations. If each person eats 7 sprouts at a serving and 2 of you have them every other day in January, that is 14 sprouts for 15 days=210 sprouts. A sprout stalk has at least 50 sprouts on it, so you need 4 sprout plants in January
* We tend to grow more seeds/plants than we need
* Lettuce only keep in the ground for a week or two. So don’t plant the whole packet at once, or you will have a garden full and only eat a fraction of them. Sow a very few seeds each week
* Use the chart at the top of this page to help plan your requirements and help your plans to grow vegetables.
