Below is a list of the seedlings which I am producing for sale this year. The seedlings are grown in plugs 3cm x
2cm and 4 cm deep. They are ready for sale when they have developed a good root system and plenty of healthy top
growth. This means that they are ready to be planted straight into your soil. Some of the seedlings, for instance Rocket,
Oriental Salads and Claytonia, will then be ready to eat in just 2-3 weeks time.
You can pre-order
them to collect and pay at Farmers' Markets.
Or it may be possible to arrange for me to deliver them to you.
The list is arranged alphabetically by common
name followed by variety. Please enter the number of plugs or pots that you require. Once you have filled in your details
at the bottom of the form and clicked on 'submit', I will get back you and let you know when I expect the plants to
be ready, how much your order would total and discuss collection. Alternatively, you can pre-order a Ready-To-Go Vegetable
Garden where I have chosen good all-round varieties for you (click here).
Please note that I do not sell my plants by post.
Plants cost 20p each in plugs
(or £10.00 for a tray of 54, mixed to your requirements), or in pots from 60p as marked. Most plants will be sold
in plugs unless marked as pots.
All
seeds are organic where possible, those marked with * are not organic but are not treated with artificial chemicals. Seeds
with the suffix F1 are hybrid varieties and the plants will not produce viable seed. Varieties in red
are from the Real Seed Catalogue; some are produced using organic methods, some are not - you can read
about their policy here. Thanks to the Real Seed Catalogue folk who have given permission
for me to illustrate the seedling list with photos from their website.
I am also producing herb plants and flower seedlings in limited quantities. See below for a list
of varieties which will be sold from my Farmer's Market stall as they become available. Please contact
me if you would like to pre-order herbs or flowers.
