Seeds assortment B&Q Tunbridge Wells
Find your flower and herb seeds at B&Q Tunbridge Wells in Tunbridge Wells! Seeds are like little packages full of magic.

Sowing from seed is such fantastic value. For just a couple of quid, you'll get a packet of seed with the potential to produce dozens of plants.

Fill your veg garden to bursting with seed from B&Q Tunbridge Wells
Most vegetables are best sown from seed: it's the quickest and easiest way to fill veg beds with rows of delicious fresh produce. Start in February with greenhouse crops like tomatoes, aubergines and peppers in a heated propagator set to a constant 21°C to get them off to a good early start.
From mid to late March you can start sowing hardier seeds like carrots, turnips and beetroot direct into the ground. Protect your newly-sown rows with wildlife-friendly ferrous phosphate slug pellets, as emerging seedlings are like caviar to hungry molluscs. And from April onwards, when the threat of frost is receding, add climbing beans, cucumbers, courgettes, squash, pumpkins and sweetcorn.

Seed sowing made easy at B&Q Tunbridge Wells
Whatever you're sowing from seed, you'll find all the equipment you need right here in your Kent garden centre, from trays to labels, modules and seed compost.
Always sow into damp soil: water pots and seed drills before sowing to make sure. Cover seed with lightweight vermiculite, available in the garden centre, which lets some light through and also holds moisture by the seed. Keep your seed warm: a cloche over outdoor rows in a chilly spring works wonders. And don't forget to water every day until you see the first tender shoots of new growth and you know it's been a success.
