Village Show - new for 2010

Over the year we get a lot of customers telling us of their wonderful crops and lovely gardens/allotments. We thought we'd like to share the comments with other customers and the idea of a Village Show followed.

This is just a "fun" show and we hope you'll join with us - we hope to be able to show to everyone that anyone can grow some brilliant crops - and probably show us "professionals" up in the process.

To see all the information relating to the village show follow this link ~ Village Show details.

New product ~ Hessian Hanging Bag

New to us, hanging flower / veg pouches, they are perfect for filling with our salad plants or even flowers. The bag will last at least 2 seasons and if stored emptied and dry when not in use, should last a lot longer. There are 10 planting holes on each bag ~ Hessian Hanging Bag.

Hessian Hanging Bag £1.75 (1 item) £1.70 (2 to 2 items) £1.65 (3 to 3 items) £1.60 (4 to 4 items) £1.50 (5 or more items) Introductory Offer They are perfect for filling with our salad plants or even flowers. The bag will last at least 2 seasons and if stored emptied and dry when not in use, should last a lot longer. There are 10 planting holes on each bag. We are doing an offer with our Mini Packs, great way of getting your salad closer to the kitchen and away from slugs! A couple of tips to get these started: ~Fill with a good quality potting compost firming into the corners. ~ Our plug plants are ideal to plant these bags up, you may have to enlarge the holes to get them in and don't over crowd them. We have found 6 plants from the salad plants (5 on the side, 1 in the top) was enough per bag, however, flowers you could use all 10 holes. ~ Leaving the bags flat make sure you water in the plants ideally with a watering can with a fine rose. ~ Allow the plants establish while flat for 1 or 2 weeks then you can hang them up. ~ Water regularly, checking that the water is reaching all the plants including the bottom. ~ Once finished, knock the soil out, re plant or store for next year. find out more		Kohl rabi - purple ''Kolibri F1'' £1.70 Purple, decorative bulbs with crisp flesh and good flavour. find out more		Basil - Purple - ''Ocimum basilicum'' £1.70 Deep purple leaves with outstanding aroma and taste. find out more
