🌱🇬🇧

If you want to grow and sell plants in the UK, the first thing to consider is how much time you have to grow fruits, vegetables, and produce In the U.K growing season.

Early Spring (March – April) – The Season Begins 🌿

As the soil starts to warm up, hardy crops can be sown.In the U.k Growing season.

Vegetables to plant:

✅ Spring Onions 🌱 Broad beans, 🌿 Peas. ✅ Lettuce (Romaine, Butterhead, Iceberg) – Quick-growing, handles cool weather.
✅ Spinach – Thrives in hydroponics, loves cool weather. ✅ Kale (Curly, Red Russian) – Cold-hardy and adapts well. ✅ Chard (Swiss Chard, Rainbow) – Tolerates early spring conditions.✅ Pak Choi (Bok Choy) – Prefers cooler temps; grows fast in hydroponics. ✅ Coriander (Cilantro) – Can be transplanted early if hardened off.✅ Parsley – Tough, handles cold weather well. ✅ Chives – Thrives in hydroponics and soil.

Fruits to plant:

Strawberries (bare-root),
Blueberries – Tolerate cool weather but need acidic soil.
Gooseberries & currants (red, black, white) are cold-hardy, and we will transplant them in March
Grapes We can plant bare-root grape vines outdoors in early spring if the soil isn’t frozen

Apples Pears, Plums.

Late Spring to Summer (May – August) – Peak Growing Season ☀️

Warm temperatures allow most crops to thrive.

Vegetables to plant:

🍅 Tomatoes, 🥒 Cucumbers, 🌶 Peppers, 🥒 Courgettes, 🥬 Lettuce.
Fruits to plant: 🍓 Strawberries, 🫐 Blueberries, 🍈 Gooseberries.

Autumn (September – October) – Harvest & Overwintering 🍂

Many crops are ready for harvest, while we sow some for winter growth

Vegetables to plant for winter: 🧅 Winter onions, 🥬 Spinach.
Fruits to harvest: 🍏 Apples, 🍐 Pears, 🍑 Plums.

Winter (November – February) – Dormant Season ❄️

Growth slows, but hardy crops can still survive.

Vegetables to grow: 🥬 Kale, 🥦 Brussels sprouts, 🥬 Winter cabbage, 🏵️ Leeks.
Fruits: Most trees remain dormant, but we can plant bare-root trees .

How to Profit from the UK Growing Season 💰🌿

The UK’s main growing season lasts from late March to August, giving only five months of optimal outdoor growing conditions. This leaves seven months where plants can be:

Propagated & cloned indoors.
Grown in controlled environments (greenhouses, hydroponics).
Sold to gardeners who need ready-to-plant crops as soon as spring arrives.

💡 Bonus Year-Round Opportunities:

• Herbs we will grow and sell herbs all year. 🌿
• Fruits we will mature fruits indoors and sell them fresh. 🍓
• Seeds we will harvest seeds and sell them for the next growing season. 🌱

By maximizing indoor and off-season growing, you can sell plants year-round and build a profitable plant business. 🚀

As you can see, a lot of the calendar is empty. Here, we work to grow plants in grow tents to supply them during the months gardeners need them for the growing season. We can also supply plants for indoor container growth. This list isn’t exhaustive, and I will continue adding to it as I discover more
