Starting a UK garden is simpler than you think. First, scope your space: balcony, patio, or plot? Note how much sunlight it gets.
Next, plan what to grow. Easy veg like lettuce, tomatoes (indoors to start), and herbs are great. For flowers, try marigolds or nasturtiums. Choose plants suited to your space and the UK climate.
Soil is key. Improve it with compost. Grab basic tools: gloves, trowel, fork, and a watering can.
Plant at the right time (generally now until May for many things!). Water deeply but not daily. Keep an eye out for pests. Don't be afraid to ask for advice at local garden centres or online. Gardening is a rewarding journey – enjoy the process!

'Sweet Summer' gives a heavy crop of large, sweet and juicy berries.
It's an 'everbearer' variety which will fruit throughout summer and into autumn, each plant producing as much as a kilo throughout the season.
As the growing plants produce few runners they stay nice and tidy and are perfect for container growing too.
Plants are not troubled by disease and very easy to grow.
Supplied as a pack of 10 fresh bare rooted runners, ready to plant straight out.
