An open pollinated breeding population of flower sprouts. This variety has been developed by the folks at the BC Eco Seed Coop in Canada. Here’s what they have to say about it:
“About 10 years ago we crossed a Brussels sprout with a variety of ornamental hybrid and open pollinated kales. Since then we have been selecting for a very winter hardy white laced kale that produces beautiful white sprouts in the winter and early spring. From a June planting, the large green leaves can be used as you would collards in the late summer and fall. After frost, the small inner white streaked leaves develop a sweet flavour and can be added to salads. From mid winter to early spring white sprouts can be harvested from the stalks to stir fry or use in salads. This is still a diverse landrace with a fair bit of variation in leaf shape and colour as well as distribution of sprouts on stalk. We have had fun trying to tame and refine this breeding project over the years, and wanted to release it so you might try your hand at seed selection too.”

£2.25Out of stock. Join the waitlist to be notified when this product becomes available.Spring Onion – Ischikrona (Organic)
A vigorous Japanese type bunching onion producing stems up to an inch in diameter. Ishikrona is definitely one of our favourites. It is beautiful in every way with fresh green coloured leaves and a bright white stem. It is succulent, mild and sweet in flavour, fresh and crispy in texture. It is extremely hardy as well as pest resistant and it stands in the ground for a long time without bulbing up.
As an important ingredient of the Asian cuisine, it can be used in stir-fries, soups and salads. It can be used instead of or alongside onions.

Pepper – Collage (Organic) ***NEW FOR 2027***
£2.20Out of stock. Join the waitlist to be notified when this product becomes available.Pepper – Collage (Organic) ***NEW FOR 2027***
Exceptionally pretty snack pepper with variegated foliage and fruits ripening through the colours of the rainbow. A real head-turner of a pepper, with wonderful variegated leaves and fruits that change colour as they ripen, from green to purple to a glowing orange with streaks of deep red. The compact, stocky plants look almost like ornamental peppers, but the fruits are as delicious as they are good-looking: sweet, crunchy and surprisingly moreish. Great for pots and small spaces, it’s one of those varieties that will have you admiring the plant almost as much as eating the peppers.

Swede – Devon Champion (Organic) ***NEW FOR 2027***
£1.75Out of stock. Join the waitlist to be notified when this product becomes available.Swede – Devon Champion (Organic) ***NEW FOR 2027***
A traditional variety of swede from Devon renowned for its excellent eating qualities. We are super-excited to be able to offer this traditional variety of swede which had been assumed to have gone extinct after being dropped from all the seed catalogues many years ago.
We were thrilled when a local grower contacted us after reading this article (https://wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/opinion/devon-champion-lost-forever/) and said that he had been stewarding this variety for years, and would we like some seeds?
He said that this fabulous swede had been grown by his family for probably four generations in various farms around Devon, in Ashburton, Bovey Tracy, and Kingsbridge.

Chilli – Basque (Organic)
£1.95Out of stock. Join the waitlist to be notified when this product becomes available.Chilli – 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.
