Direct-sow vegetable seeds — straight into the ground, no fuss

Some of the easiest and most rewarding vegetables are simply sown where they are to grow — no pots, no transplanting, just seed straight into prepared soil. This collection gathers the best direct-sow crops from our vegetable seed range. New to growing? Our vegetable growing guide covers the basics.

Direct sowing relies on the right timing — the calendar shows when.

Best crops to sow direct

Root crops like carrots and radishes resent being moved, so always go in direct; quick salad leaves and many peas and beans are sown straight out too. Several are among our quickest fast-growing vegetables.

How to sow direct

Prepare a fine, crumbly seedbed, sow thinly along a shallow drill at the right depth, and keep the soil moist until the seedlings appear. Thin them to the right spacing as they grow, and sow little and often for a continuous harvest.

Planning the plot? Here's where to look next.
