October has arrived, along with Storm Amy and some welcome rain, as the soil was very dry. Once the weather improves there are still plenty of jobs to get on with.

September has arrived, and it is starting to feel like Autumn, especially as the evening draw in giving less daylight hours. September is a busy month bringing in the harvest, getting the ground ready for autumn and planting and preparing for next year’s crops and display.

August is a busy month for harvesting crops, cutting flowers to enjoy indoors as well as there are still crops to sow for harvesting in late Autumn and next spring.

Grow Mad, David and Claire came to visit Kings Seeds earlier this year. They had a look around our warehouses where the seeds are packed, cleaned, graded and stored, had a chance to explore our own in-house laboratory where our seeds are tested by our qualified analysts for germination, purity and vigour, and watched our seed machines work their magic.

Last month high temperatures are likely to continue into July, but hopefully with a splash of rain in between to help keep the garden and vegetable plot growing. Many crops will require harvesting this month, but it is also a time to start looking ahead to next year’s display and a few autumn crops.

Pots and Trowels came to Kings Seeds head office and our Sweet Pea fields.

June has arrived and started with sunshine and showers, the perfect growing weather. This is a busy month planting out for the summer ahead as hopefully any risk of frost should now be long gone.

The weather has been glorious, but please remember the month of May, although warming up, can still have some cold nights and possibilities of night frosts, so please remember to have some fleece ready just in case we get a cold night to protect any of those tender plants that you have been tempted to plant out.
