What Are True Leaves?

Alice Whitehead is back in her greenhouse for this instalment of the new Veg Gardeners’ Glossary video series. In this series, Alice demystifies and explains many of the essential tasks for successful homegrown crops.

In this episode, Alice tells us all about true leaves and how to identify them. It’s important to be able to tell the difference between a true leaf and a seed leaf as knowing the difference will enable you to either thin out or transplant to another pot.
