Celeriac – Ibis (Organic)
£2.30 Add to basketCeleriac – Ibis (Organic)
Fast growing smooth skinned celeriac with good storing qualities and disease tolerance. Ibis is a vigorous variety that produces smooth white skinned globes with a good dense interior. Its celery-like nutty mild taste enriches soups and stews and it tastes amazing when roasted or mashed. Our favourite recipes include celeriac schnitzel, battered and pan-fried and celeriac chips with curry powder.
We’re selling particularly this variety because it has all the qualities you would want from a celeriac. Its smooth skin makes it easy to clean, it’s resistant to septoria, good for storing and is bolt-hardy which makes it suitable for early cultivation under protection.

Sweet Pea – Jilly (Organic)
£2.50 Add to basketSweet Pea – Jilly (Organic)
A beautiful and highly productive sweet pea producing an abundance of delicate cream blooms. This is Ronja’s favourite sweet pea of 2023, producing a huge amount of incredible blooms, the performance was incredible and beautiful in its simplicity. The scent of the flowers wafting through the field in July brought a very special feeling to the patch and we were sad to see the blooms go. Luckily they were followed by lots of plump seed pods which we were equally excited about as now we can offer this variety to you!

Cornflower – Blue (Organic)
£2.10 Add to basketCornflower – Blue (Organic)
Bright shades of blue flowers attractive to bees and other pollinators, great as cut flower as well. A flower that makes every garden happy. Cornflowers produce masses of stunning blue shaded blooms and attract bees and other insects as well. They were once native to European corn fields, but have mostly disappeared from the landscape due to large scale use of herbicides. Today they are mainly fond in gardens and allotments – we grow them in amongst our vegetables.

Chilli – Basque (Organic)
£1.95 Add to basketChilli – Basque (Organic)
A superb early chilli with mild heat which is a cornerstone ingredient in Basque cuisine. If these seeds were produced in French Basque they would called “Piment d’Espellete”. This fantastic variety has P.O.D. status (Protected Designation of Origin) which means that the name can only be used where the variety is produced in the specific region where it is registered. Hence we are referring to this chilli as ‘Basque’ as the seeds were produced in Devon.
The plants are tall and produce an abundance of large conical, deep red fruits about 15 cm long and 3cm wide at the top.
When eaten raw they can be quite hot but once cooked they are very mild. The traditional use of these peppers in Basque is dried and powdered, but we have just eaten them like other chillies and totally love them.

Kale – Red Russian (Organic)
£2.10 – £4.40 Add to basket This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageKale – Red Russian (Organic)
Recognisable by its flat, purple-tinged and tooth-shaped leaves; this kale is hardy, frost tolerant and very versatile. A productive plant, it reaches 90cm in height and can be harvested throughout the winter becoming sweeter after a frost. The tender young leaves are great in salads and larger leaves are attractive as well as delicious. This kale is so tasty you can eat it on its own, but it’s also a perfect addition to smoothies, salads and stir fries. You can get in the habit of adding it to most meals! In Scotland, kale used to be a mainstay of the traditional diet. So much so that to be “off one’s kail” means to feel too ill to eat.

Broccoli – Early purple (Organic)
£2.09 – £4.00 Add to basket This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageBroccoli – Early purple (Organic)
A very popular and traditional variety of sprouting broccoli, producing an abundance of tasty spears from late March . We love Early Purple broccoli, it comes at a time of year when we are in serious need of some green vegetables that are not kale, chard or leeks! We can quite happily eat it with every meal during its harvest window. It is very versatile, being great seamed, stir fried, roasted, added to soups and stews, put in omelettes… the list goes on.
It is slow growing and takes around one year from sowing to harvest but it is well worth the wait with each plant producing a lot of food. Plants can grow up to 1m in height.
