Claytonia ‘Winter Purslane’ – (Organic)
£1.85 Add to basketClaytonia ‘Winter Purslane’ – (Organic)
A must-have excellent winter leaf of mild flavour and incredibly succulent, soft and juicy texture.. Winter purslane, also known as miners lettuce or claytonia, has heart-shaped elegant looking leaves which are small, abundant and make a great cut-and-come-again salad green. You will get a productive harvest all winter and early spring and if left to self seed, it will just keep coming back year after year.
It is one of those greens that come up in just the right moment when we’re most in need of something fresh and it self-manages very well which is why we like it too.

Daikon Radish – Minowase (Organic)
£2.20 Read moreDaikon Radish – Minowase (Organic)
A traditional variety of Daikon radish producing long bright white roots which are crunchy and delicious. This is a great variety of Daikon radish for sowing after July. Its roots can grow huge – up to 3 inches in diameter! It is not too hot and stays very sweet and crunchy. It’s best left in the ground until needed. We have some disagreement on the best way to eat Minowase; Fred likes to eat it raw and Ronja prefers to eat it cooked. Try both and see what works best for you!
