The 52-Week Concept: Your Personal Sowing Calendar

The idea is brilliantly simple: every week you open a new packet and sow a different variety. Over the year, you build incredible diversity while learning which plants thrive in each season.

• January–February: Indoor seedlings – tomatoes, peppers, herbs
• March–April: Early outdoor sowing – radishes, lettuce, peas, spinach
• May–June: Peak season – beans, courgette, pumpkin, summer flowers
• July–August: Succession sowing – autumn salads, carrots, late flowers
• September–December: Winter crops, green manure and planning the next garden year

Growing Tips for Success

• Storing seeds: Keep unopened packets cool, dry and dark (e.g. in a tin). Most seeds remain viable for 2–3 years; tomato seeds last up to 5 years.
• Companion planting: Tomatoes beside basil, carrots next to onions – the right neighbours boost growth and deter pests.
• Seed compost: Use low-nutrient, fine-textured compost for sowing. Standard potting soil is too rich for delicate seedlings.
• Open-pollinated: All 52 varieties are non-hybrid – you can harvest and re-sow your own seeds next year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a garden?
Not at all! Many varieties thrive in pots and window boxes on a balcony. Herbs, salads, radishes and tomatoes are perfect container plants.

Can I sow all 52 packets at once?
You could – but the one-per-week concept is more fun, and different varieties have different ideal sowing times.

How long do the seeds stay viable?
Stored properly (cool, dry, dark), most seeds last 2–3 years. Tomato seeds keep for up to 5 years.

Is this suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. The 4 included growing guides explain everything step by step – no prior experience needed.
