I must admit I’m a bit of a seedaholic, I get carried away when looking at seed catalogues at this time of year getting excited about next Spring. I usually start by tipping out my unorganised tins, bags and coat pockets to make sure I don’t double up on leftover seeds from previous years, I’m also guilty of sowing seeds which are slightly out of date and take a gamble.
Each year I like to buy something new to try and this year I’ve gone for Edamame beans which are apparently as easy to grow as French beans and a bread seed poppy Papaver somniferum ‘Maanzaad’, producing beautiful white single flowers with pink markings and a seed head which holds onto the seeds rather than allow the seeds to scatter making seed collection easier.
We are also now stocking a beautiful range of Piccolo Seeds in the workshop.
