How much should I grow?
Start from what your kitchen eats
Tell us how often your household eats each vegetable. We work backwards from your kitchen to the number of plants, the bed space they need and the months to sow them.
Four short steps
From the kitchen table to the plot
No seed catalogue maths and no guesswork. Every figure comes from published crop yields and NHS serving sizes, then gets a buffer so a poor season does not leave you short.
- 01
Your household
Adults and children, metric or imperial, and whether your season runs with the UK or a few weeks either side.
- 02
What you eat
Tick the crops you actually cook and say how many times a week each person eats a serving.
- 03
How generous
Just enough, some spare or plenty to share, with the option of one more row for the food bank.
- 04
Your plan
Plants, bed space, row lengths, sowing months and a month by month timeline you can print.
