Spring equinox and flower seed sowing time :)

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

On Wednesday it was the spring equinox, which means that now the days are officially longer the nights.

This feels like cause for celebration! (despite the fact that here in Devon it has not stopped raining for what feels like months, and we cannot get on our land to plant our seedlings).

The second half of March is when we sow most of our annual flower seeds, so we are going full power on this right now.

It's also the time to sow many other seeds - to see the full list click the button below:
