If, like me, you’ve got the urge to grow your own herbs or veg across the year, here’s some ideas to get you started.

Plant some herbs in January

How about we get the month started on a green note and go for some herbs and leaves to get the ball rolling?

Can I plant Garlic in January?

It turns out, you can, and it’s even easier to get started indoors. To start, grab yourself a fresh garlic clove (even better if you can go with something that hasn’t come all the way from China).

Get it into some compost on your window sill in a tub or pot cleaned out milk carton, and plant it about twice its depth under the surface of the compost.

Just a couple of ideas to help you (and me) along while January takes hold.

If you’ve got your own suggestions, I’m all ears. Have your say in the comments below.
