Easy Seed Sowing for Cabbage & Spring Onions (Beginner Friendly)

Описание: Starting cabbage and spring onion seeds the easy way — plus a simple winter task to prevent grey mould (Botrytis) on strawberries. If you’re beginning your sowing season or want healthier strawberry plants this summer, this step‑by‑step allotment guide will help.

It’s early February here in Hampshire, and the greenhouses at Area 51 are waking up for the new season. Today I’m sowing brassicas and spring onions using simple, beginner‑friendly methods — perfect if you’ve got “little fat fingers,” less‑than‑perfect eyesight, or just want a no‑fuss approach to seed starting.

I’m also sharing why I prefer bulk seed suppliers over pricey garden centre packets, and showing the quick but essential job I do in the strawberry house to stop grey mould before it starts.

What you’ll learn today:
– Easy seed sowing with rubberised modules
– A paper trick for handling tiny seeds
– Why I’m growing Golden Acre and Greyhound cabbage
– Broadcast sowing spring onions for steady harvests
– Saving money with bulk seed suppliers
– How clearing dead leaves prevents strawberry grey mould (Botrytis)
