Their bright red, orange, and yellow blooms attract bees and ladybirds while deterring pests like aphids. Easy to grow from seed, they thrive in poor soil and require little maintenance. Both the flowers and leaves add a peppery kick to salads, while the seeds can be used as a spicy seasoning.

Growing Tomatoes, Chilies, and Herbs: Fresh Salsa Ingredients
This season, we’re growing a variety of salsa ingredients in our Community Garden, including plum tomatoes, basil, sweet peppers, coriander, chili peppers, and onions. To ensure the best harvest, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors when the soil warms. Use well-draining soil and keep plants in a sunny spot. Basil and tomatoes thrive in warmth, while coriander and onions prefer cooler conditions. Start your seeds in small pots or trays with drainage and watch your garden flourish with vibrant, homegrown ingredients perfect for fresh salsa all season long!
Herbs and Flowers for our Kitchen Garden
Help us create a vibrant and flavourful kitchen garden with our collection of herbs and flowers, including borage, chamomile, chives, fennel, lavender, and spearmint. Sowing seeds at the right time ensures a bountiful harvest, so start your garden indoors with a mini propagator or sow directly outdoors once the frost has passed. Discover the perfect sowing instructions for each herb and flower in our collection, from fresh chamomile tea to spearmint for relaxing brews. Explore the growing season and bring fresh, homegrown flavours to your meals.
