Our Feedback
Thank you very much for the wonderful gift of the rose Birthday Girl you sent today for my 90 year old cousin. She was thrilled with the gift and intrigued with all the packing but I said it must be a good Company to take such good care of her rose. Thank you.

Supplied as as nursery fresh transplants.
Available from APPROXIMATELY mid / late AprilA delicious variety of leek, whether you choose to pull them as baby leeks or let them mature into giant leeks! We have re-selected the Musselburgh strain so that it produces an even better quality leek that is even more difficult to fault!
You can grow these in the normal way, and to normal proportions, or with more space and extra care you can grow literally huge leeks.
Harvested young, as baby leeks, these have a fantastically sweet flavour which doesn't alter if they are left to mature.
Leeks are arguably one of the most important fresh winter vegetables due to their hardiness. We've had these literally disappear under several feet of snow for weeks, and put up with temperatures as low as 5F (-15C) - only to appear unscathed after the thaw!
