Plant your way to five a day

• - Find an open, sunny space in your garden
• - Mix compost into the soil to fill it with nutrients
• - Finally, plant the bulbs with their tips peeking through the soil

• - Find a fairly sunny spot in the garden where you can place a grow bag (a plastic bag containing ready made compost)
• - Knead the bag like a pillow to loosen the compost and pierce the bottom of the bag for drainage
• - Cut out the pre-marked planting squares at the top of the bag, scoop out a hole in the compost and place your plant inside

• - Best grown in a sunny position where the soil isn’t too wet
• - Arrange the seeds in straight lines approx 1 cm deep and 7 cm apart
• - Gently spread soil over the seeds making sure they’re well covered

• - Find a shady spot where the soil is damp
• - Mix compost into the soil to fill it with nutrients
• - Dig out a hole just big enough to hold the roots, plant and cover securely with soil

• - Plant in a sunny but sheltered area
• - Dig a big enough hole so the roots have room to spread
• - As they begin to sprout, remove any side branches which are less than 18 cm long and reduce the length of allthe others by half
