Richard Jackson’s Couch to Five a Day Challenge

Richard Jackson is a gardening expert with a huge amount of horticultural knowledge and experience. His online shop has a wide range of plants, seeds, plant food, tools, wildlife products and gifts.

The Couch to Five a Day kit contains five top varieties of fruit and vegetable seeds and plants, plus easy-to-follow growing instructions. You don’t need lots of space; everything can be grown in pots on a patio or balcony. And harvesting can start just a few weeks from planting.

The challenge element of Couch to Five a Day is all about sharing your growing progress on social media, using the hashtag #Couchto5aDay. There’s a community of challengers sharing their tips, stories and recipes to inspire you and help you make a success of growing your own.

Here’s what Richard Jackson has to say about the challenge:

“We want people to have a go, get involved and help us to motivate even more people to get their hands dirty. We’d love to see how people get on with the challenge, as there is nothing more rewarding in gardening than charting the progress of a seed, to a plant, to a vegetable, to the plate!”

Let’s take a look at the contents of the Couch to Five a Day kit.

It takes away all the guesswork around choosing plants and taking care of them, which gives you a much higher chance of success. I also think it would be a perfect grow your own starter kit for children – and I love the fact that it’s designed to suit even the smallest of outdoor spaces too.

  3. Those climbing french beans look amazing. I’d love to grow and cook them for my family.

  6. I have purchased a lovely greenhouse in the last 12 months, so this is all new to me! Just watching my sunflowers growing strong, and my basil is coming through now :) Have three tomato plants from my father-in-law to start me off too. Looking forward to learning so much x

  17. The sweet pepper as we eat quite a lot of these and I have always wondered about trying to grow them

  18. the sweet pepper as I have grown peppers before but they all got end rot and I didn’t manage to harvest a single one, so I’d like to try again

  21. I am very keen to grow tomatoes as we eat a lot as a family. They taste great and are very versatile in many dishes as well as just to eat fresh from the plant.

  23. We use a lot of tomatoes, green beans and peppers in our cooking and I have not tried these particular varieties , so it would be great to win one of these kits.

  27. I am excited to grow rye spinach. I love the idea of it just keeping growing and producing more spinach to pick.

  28. My partner and I were only sitting in the (messy) garden this weekend, looking at how we can clean it up. Also my partner’s son is very anxious of late, we want to try and get him out of his room, having been stuck indoors for almost a year glued to a screen. We thought giving him a ‘project’ to focus on, and get him to contribute to something in the home would give him a bit more of a purpose and get him in the fresh air. We’ve identified a little patch of garden to turn over, and just need to make it growing ready, but we really are not gardeners and have no idea what to start with. Tomatoes are a great and hopefully easy starting point, and we’d love to get an outdoor pizza oven…I can only imagine the flavour of home made and home grown pizza base sauces….yum!

  29. The perpetual spinach as I’d hope it would encourage my fussy eater to try some!

  30. I’d love to grow the spinach to add to salads, it’s so much tastier when it’s really fresh.

  36. I would love to try and get my son interested in growing plants and general gardening. The strawberries would be a good start, he would eat those.

  37. absolutely love this idea – couch to 5 a day – brilliant!!!! I used to have strawberry plants in my garden and loved them but somehow over the years have ended up with none left so I’d love to get some strawberry plants and this time take better care of replanting the runners to keep them going for another few years again.

  39. Those French Beans fascinate me…. plus the fact they are so versatile in cookery

  40. Sweet peppers, apart from the fact I stuff them with all sorts of things for lunch – the birds would eat the strawberries before I have time to pick them.

  44. I love strawberries but they never taste the same from the shops, often they have very little flavour so I would be most excited to grown my own strawberries, I bet they are bursting with flavour

  52. Id love to have a go at growing the sweet peppers as they are ,y favourite vegetable!

  53. Climbing French Bean ‘Cobra’ seeds look perfect to grow, would love to get my green fingers on!

  56. What a great idea, I would love o grow strawberries because my whole family loves them.

  62. I’ve just bought a greenhouse for my veg growing! I couldn’t manage to get any fruit on my tomatoes last year so I would love to try these!

  66. The perpetual spinach! I *love* the sound of this kit and the variety of things included….but I am a sucker for spinach

  70. I’m most excited to grow the peppers, I love them as a snack, most of our animals can have them and they are great in a lot of dinner we have.

  72. I would love to try Sweet Pepper ‘Bendigo. I already grow cherry tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers, along with a couple of other vegetables, But have never been successful with peppers. As I use peppers for lots of dishes, hoping for more success with this variety.

  78. I would be keen and excited to grow the Tomato ‘Red Profusion’ plug plants, as growing tomatoes as a child, was my introduction to gardening and the joy of growing your own fruit and veg.

  87. I already use several of Richard’s products and would particularly enjoy the 2 x Sweet Pepper ‘Bendigo’ F1 plug plants as I use peppers a lot in both salads and hot meals.

  95. Definitely the tomatoes, my daughter loves to grow things and we even had a couple of tomatoes last year

  96. Spinach. I have grown peppers, beans and strawberries before but have not tried spinach yet.

  98. I would love to get a decent crop of the ‘Cobra’ French Beans – to be honest, I’d be a happy with a decent crop of anything. I’ve just started growing veg for the first time this year and get so excited when I see the first shoots of green emerge from the soil!

  101. I’d love them all but would be most excited to grow the Sweet Pepper ‘Bendigo’ F1 plug plants!

  105. With being a beginner for gardening I would love to just grow any veg. I started with potatoes last year and they were a success and it has inspired us.I’d like to give strawberrys a whirl and it would be great to enjoy them with some cream.

  107. I would love to try the French beans. The last time we tried growing bean we suffered dreadful blackfly infestations which meant our harvest was very poor.

  110. The tomatoes love the taste of freshly grown tomatoes they taste so much better than shop bought ones , I’m always picking and eating them straight From the plants at my Dad’s, I don’t love to grow my own

  112. Sweet Pepper ‘Bendigo’, haven’t tried to grow them before and we eat a lot of them!
