Welcome to GrowCook Eat Arrange with me, Arthur Parkinson and my friend Sarah Raven.

In this episode, we are championing the good life, but hopefully including all the glamorous

aspects of the vegetable and herb and salad garden, all things that you can order for seedlings from us to

slot into your garden if you've possibly missed the boat with seed sewing for the growing season

ahead because with the summers getting longer, longer autums, there's plenty of time still to get

lots of wonderful edibles and scents into your garden, whether it's a small garden or a big garden.

So Sarah, what are your favourite things to be thinking about getting into the ground for harvesting in the mumps to come?

Well, without doubt for me, the things that I tend to get as seedlings at this stage in the year,

so it's quite late, are tomatoes and corgettes.

Yeah.

Because what I find with tomatoes, particularly, is that they are quite slow growing. They're actually, I think, originally perennial vines from sort of a jungle, I think.

I think they're a jungle vine. And they really do take a while to germinate. I mean, maybe 10 days

to germinate, then another sort of 10 days to two weeks before they're ready to be pricked out. And then another 10 days to two weeks before they're ready to be pricked out, and then another 10 days

to two weeks before they're ready to be potted on. And then, to be honest, I tend to put them on

a fourth stage. And I really think of tomatoes as the thing just like kids, children, that they need sort of nursery, primary school, secondary school,

and if they're lucky university, before they go out into the big wide world. And that's based on

trialing, which is that what we found is if we put a seedling, a little baby seedling straight into

the greenhouse, they really struggle

and they delay the crop and the crop is never as big or as good. So that's one of the things

I do tend to buy as little plants at this stage in the year. And you can either get the

mail order where you'll get a much bigger selection or you can go to the garden centre, but you do tend
