Chicory – Pain De Sucre (Organic)
£1.60
Mild tasting green leaves that form dense, conical heads; alternative to winter lettuce.. This is a more mild tasting chicory that is a superb substitute for lettuce in the winter. Indeed, this is a common practice in several rural parts of France and no doubt elsewhere, too. It can produce very large heads, with a tender green exterior and golden yellow hearts that have a real sweetness to them, hence the name!

“SECOND SRPING 2025 WILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT JULY AND AUGUST”
* * * * * *
We call the second half of summer the “Second Spring” as there is so much that can be sown which will provide you with tasty home-grown veg over the winter months.
It’s really satisfying harvesting stuff over the winter and winter crops are really fun and easy to grow. Spending time in your garden during all the different seasons is a wonderful way to connect to the cyclical aspects of nature.
Inside the Second Spring seed collection you’ll find ten of our favourite varieties for sowing later in the year. Each year we mix it up a bit as well as keeping some of the classics which you just can’t do without. It also comes with a handy full colour info-sheet about the varieties.
Our most exciting addition this year is a new strain of Pak Choi called Baby Choi and our Vital Seeds star leaf Beni Houshi Mizuna
