Seed box
We’ve got new additions to the seed box at 71 Leyland Avenue:
Runner beans, French beans, sweetcorn, courgettes and butternut squash.
All good to sow now but protect from frost.
Loads of other veggie seeds too, including seed potatoes, and some wildlife-friendly flowers seeds
Limited supplies so be quick.
Seedlings
Comfrey (Bocking 14) – great to make plant fertilizer out of and pollinators love it.
Sorrel ‘Belleville’ a perennial lemon-flavoured salad leaf
Purple sprouting broccoli
Dwarf peas
Chills
Tomatoes ‘Tumbling Tom’ – ideal for hanging baskets and containers
Come and grab some and #HaveAgrow
