Carrot – Nantes (Organic)
£1.60 – £3.80 Add to basket This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageCarrot – Nantes (Organic)
Fast maturing carrot perfect for early sowings. Originally from France but grown in this country for decades as a kitchen garden favourite, this is a classic carrot variety of the half-long type. Reaching up to 17cm in length and 3-4 cm in diameter, it is a sweet, bright orange, blunt, cylindrical root, round at the top and bottom. It has fine texture and delicate flavour with almost no core. It is ideal for early sowings but can delight you with a tasty crop throughout the year as well.
The perfect all-rounder, that does well as bunching carrot, juiced, sautéd, frozen, grated into a salad or just straight from the ground which is when we think they taste the best.

Cucumber – Shintokiwa (Organic)
£2.25 Add to basketCucumber – Shintokiwa (Organic)
This cucumber is amazing, a new favourite, prized for an outstanding sweet flavour, delicious juiciness and crisp, crunchy texture.
Known for its vigorous growth and productivity, this variety makes dark green long and slender fruits. They are mostly straight (when trellised) and uniform with an occasional curve. It is the flavour that is so extraordinary sweet, almost floral and so delicious throughout the season like no other cucumber we’ve tasted. A beautiful crunch and no bitterness even when harvested on the ripe side or towards the end of the season.
Shintokiwa is valued for its disease resistance, a fine choice for the greenhouse as well as outside.

Basil – Sweet Genovese (Organic)
£1.95 – £3.50 Add to basket This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageBasil – Sweet Genovese (Organic)
The classic basil variety, very productive, aromatic and perfect for all culinary uses, especially pesto. With large bright green leaves and a smell to die for this is an essential addition to the veg plot. We think you cannot grow too much basil, we use it in almost every meal throughout the summer months. Genovese makes the most superb pesto, aromatic without being overpowering and giving us a much needed taste of sunshine when stored or frozen and then eaten throughout the winter months.
A robust, trustworthy variety of ‘The King of Herbs’ with the perfect balance of aroma and subtlety. It is an essential companion to tomatoes.

Extremely productive red cherry tomato bred for its fine flavour. This is a farm-original variety which we have bred by ‘dehybridising’ a popular F1 variety. We have been stabilising the line for 5 years and think its ready to send out into the world now!
