MONTHLY GROW BOXES: NOVEMBER
As Autumn deepens and temperatures continue to drop, November is the perfect time to grow cool season crops that thrive in the UK’s gentle Winter light. This month’s Monthly Grow Box is filled with quick growing, nutrient rich favourites, Red Cabbage Microgreens, Baby Kale, and Pea Shoots, all chosen to bring fresh, vibrant greens to your plate throughout the darker months.
Of these, Pea Shoots are the standout stars of the season. Their sweet, delicate flavour and incredibly fast growth make them a brilliant choice for any home garden, kitchen windowsill or balcony setup. Whether you’re an experienced grower or planting your very first seeds, pea shoots are easy, reliable, and wonderfully rewarding.
Pea Shoots
Pea shoots are a hardy, cool tolerant crop that thrive in the colder months when many other plants slow down. They germinate quickly, often within a week and can be ready to harvest in as little as 10-14 days. The tender leaves and curling tendrils are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, offering a fresh, crisp sweetness that lifts salads, stir fries, sandwiches and noodle bowls.
Another bonus? Pea shoots are incredibly low maintenance and ideal for small spaces. They grow beautifully in trays, pots or repurposed containers, needing just good compost, consistent moisture, and a bright windowsill. Even if you’re new to growing, pea shoots will reward you with a leafy, flavourful harvest in no time. Sow them now, and you’ll be snipping your first shoots well before the festive season, a cheerful dose of green during the Winter months.

Whether you choose a Small, Medium, or Large Grow Box, you’ll find everything tailored to your space and growing needs.
How to Plant Pea Shoots
To plant pea shoots this November, begin by filling a shallow tray or container with good quality compost. Scatter the peas generously across the surface, they don’t need as much spacing as mature pea plants, then cover them with a thin layer of compost and water gently. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged and place the tray in a bright spot such as a windowsill.
Within 5-7 days, you’ll see sturdy green shoots emerging. Pea shoots grow quickly, and you can begin harvesting when they reach around 10-15 cm tall. Simply snip the tender tips just above a leaf node to encourage regrowth. For a continuous supply, sow a fresh tray every one to two weeks so you’ll always have crisp, sweet shoots ready to pick throughout the Winter season.
