1 Year-old-crowns.
Please order by mid March for delivery in March/April.
A hybrid purple variety that produces juicy, crunchy, tender stems. The spears contain less ligin than most other varieties making them less stringy. Best enjoyed raw or lightly steamed.

Combines a high return with a productive life of around 20 years. Requires relatively little maintenance, and the crop is suitable for fresh market and roadside sales.
F1 hybrid ‘all male’ varieties are far higher yielding than the traditional types. Crowns are established roots, which are lifted and packed immediately before despatch.
Sow seeds (45-60/g) in January into modules at 16-18°C, following a 24 hour soak. Transplant in April or early May. Otherwise sow seeds into seedbed outdoors March to early May. Raising Asparagus from seed will delay heavy cropping by an extra year when compared with using crowns to establish a new production area.
Plant out crowns at 30 x 120cm, harvest a small crop the following year. Plant population approx. 20,000 per hectare for white spears, and approx. 25,000 per hectare for green or purple spears. Harvest small crop in year two, then crop normally in subsequent seasons. Cultural leaflet available to download on this website.

Very well known large-flowered tuberous series, ideal for mass bedding and containers. Essential components of any bedding plant programme. 20cm.
Pelleted seed: ideal for mechanised sowing, and accurate seed placement. Each pellet contains one seed and we recommend sowing two pellets per cell.

Semperflorens:
Annual, sow the very fine seed January-March on surface of compost, keep moist. Mixing the seed with fine silver sand makes it easier to spread it evenly over the compost. Germination takes 2-3 weeks at 22-24°C. Do not exclude light. Prick out after 6 weeks into 6-pack trays or pots. Supplementary light quickens development of the small seedlings. Grow on at 15-18°C. 70,000 seeds per gram. Total production time around 14-16 weeks depending on lighting and sowing time.
Sell in: 6 packs and 8-10cm pots.
End Use: Versatile, tolerant of rainy weather, long flowering season. For formal bedding, and baskets and containers.
For easier sowing choose pelleted seed.

Begonia Tuberous:
Cultural instructions as for semperflorens, except earlier sowing time (December-January) as takes 20 weeks sowing to flowering.
Sell in: 4 packs and 10cm pots.
End Use: Bedding schemes, baskets and containers. Resistant to rainy weather.

A high yielding parthenocarpic variety with mid early maturity. The dark green fruits are typically 18-20cm in length with a cylindrical shape. Intermediate resistance to Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus and Watermelon Mosaic Virus.

The courgette crop has recently benefited from the increased interest in gourmet cooking. Courgette flowers and yellow fruited varieties also fulfil a specialist demand from the restaurant market, while recently introduced top quality round courgettes add extra interest. Very prolific, cost-effective croppers. Can be grown early or late under glass to extend the season, when there is a price premium.
5-7 seeds per gram. Sow April-end of May/early June, at 3.5-5kg per hectare. Space at 60-120 by 90-150cm, giving a plant population of around 5,000-18,000 per hectare. Harvest from July onwards.
The majority of the varieties listed as courgettes can also be used to produce marrows, however we recommend the use of the varieties listed for marrow production to acheive the best results.

A second early variety producing attractive, high quality globe shaped bulbs. Skin facilitates easy cleaning. For fresh market, processing and long term storage.

Salad onions:
Standard salad crop for bunching; relatively low maintenance, and some varieties are also suitable for overwintering for early lifting. Suitable for fresh market and prepack use.
240-360 seeds per gram. Germinates 5-30°C. Sow March-April for Spring crop, overwintering type July-August, pickling type mid February-March. Seed rate 15-20kg per hectare, at a population of 65-70 per metre row length.

Bulbing onions:
A popular crop - long storage lives make for a good continuity of supply. Also popular for plant sales and competition growing.
240-360 seeds per gram. Germinates between 5 and 30°C, sowing date mid February-March, Japanese (overwintering) types second or third week in August. Seed rate 4-5kg per hectare, 2.5-10 x 40-60cm spacing.

The advantages of growing onions from sets (immature bulbs), rather than from seed, are that there is: shorter time to maturity, less sensitivity to soil types and a lower incidence of pest and disease.

Approx. 180-200 bulbs per kilo of sets. Space 10cm (in row) x 25cm (between rows). Plant so that the tip of the bulb is just visible above the soil. Best results achieved from planting mid March to mid April. Planting into cold, wet ground can cause bolting so do not plant too early. Heat treatments are used to kill the flower embryo this prevents bolting in early plantings.

100 seeds	£7.45
250 seeds	£16.95

• Growing Tips

A Pansy that has been bred for use in baskets. Freefall is available in seven colours all with a vigorous spreading habit and medium sized flowers. The low spreading habit makes it ideal for late summer production as it is less prone to stretching. Meanwhile the sustained day-length neutral flowering ensures greater colour even through the winter months.

The higher cost of the F1 hybrids may be justified interms of uniformity, speed of flowering, clear flower colours and overall garden performance. In general, the larger flowered varieties tend to flower slightly later, and are especially suitable for late Spring and Summer flowering, as flower size tends to reduce as temperatures increase.
Seed count approx. 700 per gram.
Sow the seed into trays or plugs, cover lightly with vermiculite, and keep the compost moist. Germinate at 18-20°C, shading to avoid excessive temperatures which can depress germination. Germination should be apparent in about 7-10 days.
After 4-5 weeks, prick out into 6-packs or 8cm pots. Use a slow-release fertilizer or commence liquid feeding after 2-3 weeks.
For early Spring sales, it is necessary to harden off the plants prior to sale, by gradually reducing the temperatures.
Pansies are very susceptible to stretching where temperatures are high for a significant period of time. Where reasonably low temperatures (i.e. temperatures not above 14°C) cannot be guaranteed, then growth retardant chemicals should be considered, virtually all are suitable for use on pansies, subject to the manufacturers’ guidelines. Side effects may include a reduction in flower and leaf size.
Sow June for sales Aug-Sept.
Sow July for sales Sept-Oct.
Sow Aug for sales Nov-Feb.
Sow Oct-Dec for sales March.
Sow Jan for sales in April.

The most compact grandiflora on the market - Limbo resists stretching such that growth regulators are not required during production.

Annual, sow on the compost surface from February-April, germinates in 7-10 days at 20°C. Prick out after 4 weeks into packs or pots as required. Grow on at 12-15°C; growth regulators can be used, according to the manufacturers’ guidelines. Sowing to flowering takes around 12 weeks. 9,000 seeds per gram.
Note-Star and Picotee types: Care must be taken when growing these types to avoid high temperatures, high light levels and high soil fertility, as this will increase the proportion of white. Conversely low temperatures, low light and low soil fertility will result in a decrease in the proportion of white.
Sell in: 6-packs (basket & ground cover varieties in 9-10cm pots).
End Use: Baskets, containers and borders.

Grandifloras produce fewer, but larger, flowers than the multifloras.However, flower size is not the only difference between Grandifloras and Multifloras. Multifloras generally grow faster, have more branches and flowers, hence providing more masses of colour. Other differences are smaller, thinner leaves, and flowers are usually not as ruffled or fringed. They also have greater disease resistance and weather tolerance.

Multifloras generally grow faster, have more branches and flowers, hence providing more masses of colour. Other differences are smaller, thinner leaves, and flowers are usually not as ruffled or fringed. They also have greater disease resistance and weather tolerance.

Potato Nicola (2.5Kg pack) (VOG994N)

New for 2021

Product	Price (VAT not payable)	Quantity
1 pack	£4.00	SOLD OUT

 

Certified as organically produced seed by the Soil Association. GB-ORG-05.

• Description
• Technical Information
• Shipping
• Reviews
• Growing Tips

A tried and tested variety producing excellent, well flavoured salad potatoes. The firm, long oval tubers have yellow skin and light yellow flesh. Tasty hot or cold. Well suited to roasting, boiling and salad uses. Has low blight resistance but high scab resistance. Resistant to Eelworm (PCN).

Our seed potatoes are available for delivery around mid December or mid January, please specify your preferred delivery period when ordering.

Potatoes remain one of the most popular and productive crops grown by amateur and professional alike, and continue to be a staple part of most diets.

Potatoes can be grown in almost any soil type, and are ideal for ‘cleaning up’ previously uncropped land. Potatoes can also be grown in containers.

Potato types:
First Earlies: chitting essential; plant mid to late March at a depth of 10cm, spaced 30cm in row and 45cm between rows; harvest as ‘new’ potatoes in June and July when the first flowers appear.
Second Earlies: chitting essential; plant early to mid April, space as per First Earlies; harvest as ‘new’ potatoes in July and August when the first flowers appear.
Salad: treat as per First Earlies.
Maincrop: chitting beneficial but not essential; plant mid to late April at a depth of 10cm, spaced 38cm in row and 68cm between rows; harvest between August and October when the foliage dies back; can be stored.

Cultivation terms:
Chitting: when delivered lay tubers out in tray with rose end (most eyes) uppermost. Keep in frost free, light room until sprouts form (normally after 6 weeks).
Earthing-up: when the haulm (foliage) is approximately 20cm tall draw up soil around stem to form a flat ridge. Earthing-up improves drainage and growing environment for the plant giving a much improved yield. Earthing-up is also essential for reducing greening.

All our tubers are produced in Scotland and are certified by DEFRA as reaching the high quality standards required to be classified as 'Certified Seed Potatoes'.
Please note that due to marketing and trade agreements not all varieties of potato can be shipped outside of the UK, please contact us for further details.

Bi Colour plum to cream in colour. It gives a great return by having a high preportion of usable plants per square metre. The post harvest performance is very reliable. Excellent for cutting be it in mass commercial production or in the border at home. Very uniform to come into flower 120-180cm

Pot Plant Varieties
Sow Spring/Summer, direct into 10-15cm pot. Rapid growth, so requires feeding with each watering. Sell with main bud in flower, and lateral buds developing.
Cut Flower Varieties
Sow April-mid June, direct into the flowering position. Row width depends on variety (up to 40cm for largest varieties); spacing between plants around 12-15cm. Lightly cover seeds, and keep moist. Germination optimum 20°C, minimum 5°C. From sowing to first cutting is approximately 60 days in mid Summer - plants flower July-September. Denser plantings or excess nitrogen can lead to smaller flowerheads with less robust stems. Cut flowers just before first ray petals open. Treatment of stems with holding solution can prolong vase life. Seed count varies greatly from one variety to another.
Pollen-free Varieties
Pollen-free types can be sown under glass September to March, and outdoors April to August. Sow directly, cover with soil and maintain temperature around 10°C. Approx. 10 days after emergence, thin out to leave the best seedlings, spaced at around 10-12cm in each direction. High density production suppresses the production of sideshoots. Minimum night temperature 8°C, with a maximum of 25°C in the daytime. Provide little or no fertilizer, and water sparingly.

The conical flowerheads of this tall native biennial are attractive to bees. The seedheads, which last well after the flowers have faded, are great food for goldfinches.  Also used by florists. Tolerant of a  wide range of soils. (300 sds,g)

Cultural instructions can be provided upon request, but the key points to bear in mind are:
Select the correct mixture for the soil type and drainage characteristics of your site. Prepare a firm, weed-free tilth.
Low nutrient regimes are best, which can involve removing the topsoil and sowing onto subsoil.
Sowing time throughout the year, with best results sowing March/April and August to September.
Sowing rate 5g/m2 - bulk up the mixtures with silica sand when sowing to make it easier to broadcast the seeds evenly. Then rake the seed lightly into the surface.

An ‘Acorn’ squash with a more rounded shape. Attractive orange, yellow and geen multi-coloured patterned skin. Fruits typically 750 grams in size. Full vine habit.

Winter squashes are characterised by the development of a hardened skin and the ability to be stored, typically up to six months. The wide range of winter squashes has become increasingly in demand in recent years, most notably butternet and kabocha types. A popular plant sales item.
5-7 seeds per gram. Sow April-end of May/early June, at 3.5-5kg per hectare. Space at 60-120 by 90-150cm, giving a plant population of around 5,000-18,000 per hectare. Harvest from July onwards, once the fruits have reached the desired size. Butternet squashes should not be planted out until the end of May, early planting may result in a poor and mishapen yield
