Grown & Gathered

Growing your own veg should be a joy, not a nightmare. Grown & Gathered is a friendly planner made for UK gardeners: it tells you what to sow, when to feed, and when a frost is on its way. Then it gives you something lovely to cook with whatever you've picked.

No jargon, no fuss. It's like having a gardening friend at your side, from the first seed to a plate of dinner.

NO GREEN FINGERS? DON'T WORRY You really don't need any experience. Maybe you've never sown a seed, or maybe you've tried before and watched it all bolt or wilt. Either way, we take you through it gently, a little at a time. If you can remember to water a pot, you can do this.

KNOW WHAT TO DO TODAY Every morning you get one friendly note: what to sow this week, what's ready to pick, and when to feed, alongside a local weather update for your own postcode. No more wondering if you've missed the moment.

FROST ALERTS THAT SAVE YOUR PLANTS We'll warn you before frost, drought, wind or heavy rain reaches your postcode, in good time to pop a cover on. No more checking the forecast last thing every night.

120+ VARIETIES THAT ACTUALLY GROW HERE A gorgeous Plant Library with a proper guide for every crop: when to sow, how far apart, what to grow it next to, how long until you're eating it, and a top tip or two. All picked for real British summers and easy to find in garden centres near you.

GROW YOUR OWN, WASTE NOTHING Pop whatever takes your fancy into your Seed Tin, mark it sown, and follow it all the way to harvest. Bought a plug plant, or been handed a cutting over the fence? Add your own and we'll look after those too.

NO MORE WASTED SEED OR GIANT GLUTS This is the bit people love: we nudge you to sow a little and often, a fresh handful of lettuce or beans just as the last lot goes in. So you pick a steady supply all summer instead of forty courgettes in one week and half a seed packet left to go stale.

A SEASONAL RECIPE STRAIGHT FROM YOUR PLOT Not sure what to do with a glut of courgettes or a bowlful of tomatoes? Search by ingredient and find a seasonal recipe to match, plus foraging ideas, preserving, storage tips and thrifty upcycling projects. Grow it, then eat it.

BRAND NEW TO ALL THIS? PERFECT. Every guide is in plain English, no Latin and nothing assumed. We explain hardening off, thinning, potting on and the rest, gently, one season at a time.

WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG Yellow leaves? Leggy seedlings? Something munching your lettuces? The troubleshooter helps you work out what's happened and put it right, and never once makes you feel you've failed.

ALWAYS SOMETHING COMING Succession-sowing reminders keep your plot busy from spring right through to the first frost. And if it's your thing, you can garden by the moon too.
