Our Feedback
I have just tried growing your Victorian colossal pea, with fantastic results.
We have a small garden and my wife found these thinking we would get more for the same space as the 'normal' peas. Problem is they are so heavily laden with pods they are tearing from the support frame and I have had to tie them up with soft string. A problem that is very welcome. I have just sown more in the greenhouse to plant out for a later crop. I have also tried your coloured carrots but too soon to try, but I will be ordering more seeds and greater variety in the future.
Best wishes

Spring Is On Its Way
So after a Winter of no proper Winter the first week of March brought us snow, hard frosts, hail and more snow!
Halfway through March now and the weather has most definitely changed and, dare it be said, is nearly perfect! Sharply cold nights followed by glorious sunny days - the cold keeps things in check whilst the bright sunshine ensures for sturdy and strong growth as plants don't struggle to find the light as they have had to previously in gloomy grey days.
So much is going on on the nursery we don't know where to start (and probably watching the video above will give a better insight) - but similarly for gardeners all over the UK things should be the same with not knowing what to do next; to try and make things clearer, we'd simply say follow what we're doing! So get on with your bare root fruit and hedging planting outside, whilst propagating like mad inside - simple!
Be sure to keep up to date with where we are with our sowings and propagation at the nursery by following us on Twitter, Facebook or Google+ as we post our daily updates and general banter with a grin.
