This month our Subscriber Club members received six packets of seeds, delivered through their letterboxes with their May copy of Gardeners’ World Magazine, as part of our 14-packet, five-month giveaway worth more than £31. If you don’t already subscribe, you still have time to join our giveaway and receive two more free packets of seed with our June issue. Turn to p30 to find out more benefits.

Our seed giveaway this month comprises three summer flowers: zinnia, gypsophila and nigella; and three delicious edibles: basil, parsley and lettuce. Sowing instructions for the flowers are given across these two pages, and for the edibles on p59-60. It’s warm enough to sow all of them outdoors now
