Been thinking about growing your own veg this year? Well, you’re in good time to start - and there’ll be plenty of help and advice available from the RHS.

Its Grow Your Own Veg team has developed a special website section where you can decide what to grow, find out when to sow and even brush up on your gardening techniques.

There’s a monthly guide alongside tips on how to keep your plot flourishing. You can sign up for a free newsletter or take part in a veg growing survey. Or, if a problem’s a bit too knotty for you to tackle alone, there’s a forum for seeking advice

There are also regional events that you can attend to pick up tips and advice in person.

There’s nothing as tasty and satisfying as cooking with your own home-grown veg - good luck!

Have you been noticing differences in your garden thanks to wetter summers, warmer winters, stronger winds or other altered growing conditions that are affecting the way your flowers, fruit and veg are developing?

If this is a topic that interests you, then visit the Royal Horticultural Society website, where there’s a section that addresses your concerns and asks about your experiences. Here’s how it’s introduced:

Gardening in a changing climate

The impacts of a changing climate are now firmly at the top of the scientific, political and environmental agendas. But while the big global problems of climate change are addressed in the corridors of power, what are the ramifications for UK horticulture and gardening?

We are considering what our changing climate is likely to mean in terms of what we grow and how we grow it. But it is clear that our gardens will become an increasingly important resource - for ourselves and wildlife. Much still needs to be understood and while no-one yet has all the answers, garden-making and growing plants can be a potent force for good. Read on here…

Visit these pages and you can get advice, discuss the topic with other gardeners via a bulletin board, take a short survey or find out more about the weather. Whatever your interest, there should be something helpful here.

Looking for some great ideas on how to make your garden inspirational this year? Or maybe you need advice on a particular issue, like growing vegetables, pruning hedges or looking after your mower.

If so then it’s very possible that the Royal Horticultural Society is organising just the event for you.

Its programme includes workshops, lectures and tours hosted by gardens, nurseries, gardening societies and horticultural colleges around the country, all with a reduced ticket price for RHS members.

To get more information about what’s going on in your area, visit its regional events page where you can download leaflets for different areas of the country.

If so, the Royal Horticultural Society wants to hear from you. Following the recently-aired BBC series that looke at all aspects of the RHS as the UK’s leading gardening charity, it wants to know what gardening means to you.

It is asking visitors to its website to take its Passion for Plants survey to help it RHS build a picture of what gardening means to people now.

Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a draw to win one of five copies of A Passion for Plants, the new book by Carolyn Fry that accompanies the television series.

And it’ll even be signed by Alan Titchmarsh, who wrote the book’s foreword and narrated the series.
