Lettuce – Ruffled Soul (Organic)
£2.00 Add to basketLettuce – Ruffled Soul (Organic)
Deep red, ruffled leaves, very suitable for repeated harvests. The most attractive lettuce I grew in 2018, it contrasts brilliantly with other leaves in a mixed salad. Bred by Frank Morton of Wild Garden Seed this lettuce is very suitable for repeated harvests since it is slow to bolt and the leaves do not get too big.

Lettuce – Outredgeous (Organic)
£1.80 – £3.00 Add to basketLettuce – Outredgeous (Organic)
Stunning deep red coloured lettuce with a crisp texture and sweet flavour (this variety was the first plant to be grown in space!). In 2014 Outredgeous became the first lettuce ever to be grown in space on the International Space Station due to its reliability and because it is so easy to grow.
It’s an upright cut salad that forms a loose romaine head at maturity. An outrage of red in your salad bowl makes this a firm favourite for gardeners and growers.

Carrot – Lila Lu (Organic) ***NEW FOR 2024***
£1.95 Add to basketCarrot – Lila Lu (Organic) ***NEW FOR 2024***
Lila Lu is a purple carrot on the outside with a vibrant orange interior, sweet and crunchy. This is a modern European breed specifically developed for organic growing conditions. It has a crunchy texture and pleasantly sweet taste, the purple pigmentation is attributed to a higher levels of the potent antioxidant ‘anthocyanin’ alongside the usual beta carotene that orange carrots offer. Carrots have been bred since the 10th century in Asia, whilst we have come to know carrots in their orange standard, their ancestors were yellow and purple, we appear to have come full circle with this ‘new’ variety.

Celery Leaf – Early Bell (Organic)
£2.30 Add to basketCelery Leaf – Early Bell (Organic)
A ‘cutting’ celery variety of which the leaves are harvested instead of the stalks. Growing cutting celery is a great alternative to stem celery if you just want to add a bit of that delicious celery flavour to your cooking! Cutting celery is more closely related to wild celery, and has a stronger flavour. The leaves can be chopped and added to stocks, soups, and stews. As there is no need to wait for the plant to mature, the leaves can be harvested before traditional celery is ready. The plants are very hardy and will withstand a decent frost. If left in the ground over winter the plants will flower in spring producing many flowers which the bees will love!
