Flicking through seed catalogues is one of the pleasures of January, contemplating what to repeat and what to try for the first time. This year in my veg garden red orach was a success, while pink celery was a disaster.

And then when the seeds arrive the fun really starts. The seeds that need to germinate early, like tomatoes and celery, go straight into the germinator and its pretty much non-stop then until May.

With this set you should be well on your way to germinating glory. You may also want to buy some coir compost and four coloured vegetable seeds.
