Sow Seeds In JANUARY For A Head Start! Gardening For Beginners

January is the quietest time of the year in the garden, and not much is growing. And whilst it is too early to sow many crops, there are quite a few you can sow early for a head start! Our fingers are itching to get sowing down at the allotment with those January blues continuing. January is a very long month!

I'm down at the allotment sowing some of the first seeds of the 2025 growing season. Why not try some of these too?
Bare in mind though that the things in my list are best being started off at home or in a greenhouse. You could get away with direct sowing some of these hardy crops outdoors, so long as your ground is workable and isn't frozen. Bare in mind, germination and growth will be much slower if you do decide to direct sow outdoors in January. Although cloches and mini polytunnels can help warm things up outdoors.

I've started some of the tender crops off at home under my grow lights, such as peppers and aubergines. It will be April at the very earliest when I start to move some of the tender crops down to the allotment greenhouses and polytunnels.
