Place the compost blocks in the pots in an empty sink. Add water and watch the blocks grow like magic. Level the compost. Scatter a few seeds sparingly across the surface of separate pots for the Peppers, Lettuce and Tomatoes. For Sweet Corn, plant 3 seeds, pushing the seed down into the compost. You can use any surplus seeds in further pots (Fun to Grow pots are ideal) or trays. Place pots on a warm windowsill but not in direct sunshine (15-18°C-60-65°F) and with the exception of Lettuce, cover with paper. Keep moist and when the tiny plants appear, carefully tease out the other little plants to leave one central one. Again you can transplant your spare plants into other pots or trays. Grow on a well lit windowsill in a cooler room (15°C-60°F). In June or July, when your Lettuce plants are around 10cm (4") high and the Pepper, Tomato and Sweet Corn approx. 15-23cm (6-9"), plant them out in the garden, together with any others you have grown, the Lettuce 23cm (9") apart and the others 45cm (18") apart. Your vegetable plants will grow quickly - water them well in dry weather. Harvest your vegetables from July-September.

Contents: 4 x 7.5cm (3") pots, ‘magic’ compost blocks, plant labels and seed sachets of each of the four items Peppers and Tomatoes Sow: March-May, Lettuce Sow: March-July, Sweet Corn Sow: April-May
