Toms are easy like weeds andthe good thing is if you have any thats going a bit soft squeeze it over a patch of garden soil let nature do the rest water when hot though my grandson was a sod doing this to me when he was young and also potatoes dig a little ditche pop your pot into it when it starts sprouting cover it up till u get a mound when the flowers are dead from pant pull up ur pots and yummy try to get them all out or theygrow all over again , another thing grandson done to me , i had potatoes everywhere even inbetweener my roses , good luck

Royal Horticultural Society website, and Gardeners World on TV and BBC website might be a good starting point.

Sunflower seeds and meadow seeds. Stick them in the ground and up they come!

Just give it a go - get some packs of seed follow the instructions and see what happens. I’ve been gardening for 50 years. Sometimes it grows and sometimes it doesn’t - that’s part of the fun x
