Vegetable SeedsWhether for your garden, allotment or smallholding we have a range of vegetable seeds to please (please note we have now moved our ever increasing range of vegetable plants to a separate section - Vegetable Plants. Everything in our vegetable seed section we personally grow and eat ourselves so we genuinely know the growing characteristics and flavour of what we sell. The greater part of our range is made up of traditional, older, non-hybrid varieties as from our own experience these are better suited for both home growing and for growing organically - put simply they are tried, tested and reliable. That said we are not afraid to embrace 'the new' and each year we trial many many new varieties of vegetables and so you will find one or two newer and Hybrid (F1) varieties in our listings. The important factor in all vegetable growing is flavour and, as we have already said, we grow and eat everything we sell so we know the flavour of all; none of our chosen varieties will disappoint either in the garden or once they have been harvested and made it onto your plate. What you will not find in our listings is variety after variety of the same vegetable (with the exception of say tomatoes) and in many cases we limit to just one or maybe two - there is good reason for this - we think we have chosen the best. All our vegetable seeds are naturally produced (make sure you read Are We Organic?); we do not sell treated seed and certainly none are genetically modified! And if you don't have a garden or allotment, don't forget many vegetables can be grown in containers - yes on concrete, gravel or perhaps even your flat roof! Beans, tomatoes, carrots, peas, lettuce and potatoes are just a few subjects that can be grown in tubs or similar and you will find books on container vegetable growing as well as conventional vegetable growing in our book section.
