Be it a fully fledged kitchen garden, or a few window boxes outside your back door, It’s never too early to start planning which edibles you want to grow for the season ahead.

Following last week’s flower-focused episode, this week’s ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ continues the sowing theme to highlight Sarah’s top pick of outstanding edibles to grow from seed from the beginning of the year, through to the end of March.

In this episode, discover:

  • How to embrace winter growing, sowing some of the hardiest crops for tasty salads and nutritious greens to liven up winter dishes
  • Which varieties offer the most transformative, flavoursome plants – from the punchy flavour of mustard wasabi to the ‘Sungold’ tomato’s unbeatable sweetness
  • Tips on sowing direct into gutter pipes or outdoors with protection
