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.
Winter crops are really fun and easy to grow, and it’s really satisfying harvesting stuff over the winter.
It’s also great to spend time in your garden during all the different seasons as nature has so much to offer throughout the year.
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 our diverse breeding population ‘Kizuna’, a cross between Dazzling Blue Kale and Beni Houshi Mizuna.
