Pink Garlic Germidour

Pink Garlic Germidour

'Germidour' is one of the most satisfying garlic varieties you can grow, producing big and compact bulbs with white, papery skin streaked in pinky-purple. Mild and subtle in flavour, with a delicate aroma - perfect for many savoury dishes, whether used raw in salad dressings or in cooking. Originating in France, this worthy winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit is virus-free and a reliable cropper with bulbs of around 10-12 succulent cloves.This 'softneck' garlic doesn't produce flower stems but will mature earlier than 'hardneck' alternatives, while also storing better too, even for up to three months after harvest! The garlic that is most commonly sold in supermarkets is softneck - but don't be tempted to propagate shop-bought garlic as it will be more prone to disease and crop far less efficiently than plants grown from these superior horticultural quality bulbs.Traditionally, garlic is planted on the shortest day of the year in December and harvested on the longest in June, although it can be planted in autumn or spring, with the former resulting in earlier crops.Although winter hardy, this may benefit from cold protection, or can be grown in a greenhouse or tunnel. If planting in the spring, just wait until frosts have gone before placing in the ground. 'Germidour' thrives in sunny spots in most well-draining soils, but if soil is heavy, prepare the plot in advance by digging in some well-rotted garden compost, adding sand or grit to improve drainage. Or grow in good-quality compost in a raised bed, trug or container.Supplied as a pair of bulbs, ready to split into approximately 10-12 cloves for planting.

Cucumber Socrates F1 Seeds

Cucumber Socrates F1 Seeds

This fast-growing and vigorous variety produces plentiful crops of bitter-free mini cucumbers. An 'all female' type, they are best grown in a greenhouse or tunnel, where seedless fruits can be produced if kept free from pollinators.

Its high resistance to disease extends the growing season as the plants are less susceptible to powdery mildew, which can be prevalent towards the end of summer and into autumn, when light levels are lower.The dark green, thin-skinned fruits are best cut when about 18cm (7in) long and have a pleasing nutty flavour that is far superior to shop-bought cucumbers. As well as being super fresh and juicy when picked straight from the garden, these little beauties are packed with nutrients and antioxidants - they are a good source of vitamins K, B and C, as well as minerals such as potassium and magnesium.Supplied as a packet of 5 seeds ready to sow indoors from February to May.

Basil Sweet Seeds

Basil Sweet Seeds

This 'Sweet' Basil is the classic, large-leaved variety that is most popularly used in cuisines all over the world. Native to tropical regions of central Africa and Southeast Asia, it is a tender, half-hardy annual when grown outdoors in Britain for summer cropping. Or it can be grown successfully indoors on your windowsill all through the year to ensure a continuous supply of fresh leaves for culinary use.A favourite herb particularly of Italian cooking, its sweet, aromatic leaves are a characteristic ingredient for many dishes from salads and garnishes to soups, casseroles, ragu, pizza, and pasta dishes - and superb for making fresh pesto.

A top-quality variety that matures quickly, 'Ferrari' gives reliably high yields of slender, straight and stringless round pods that have superb taste and texture - far superior to any shop-bought bean.This worthy recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit is easy to grow, with good resistance to disease such as Bean Common Mosaic Virus (BCMV), Halo Blight and Anthracnose, so is a great choice for gardeners of any experience.

Leek Musselburgh Seeds

Leek Musselburgh Seeds

A superb all-rounder for reliability, hardiness and flavour, this heritage variety was first cultivated by Victorian gardeners in the Scottish town of Musselburgh after being brought over from France in the 1830s. Since then it has become a firm favourite all around the UK, particularly in colder regions where other vegetables may not thrive - great for picking from late autumn to early spring when little else is available to bring in from the plot to the plate. A shorter variety of leek, it has densely packed, sturdy stems with creamy white bases rising to dark green leaves at the top.You won't find Musselburgh leeks in the supermarket as their growing span is too long commercial production, but this variety will reward the home gardener many times over with plentiful crops of superb quality. These leeks are easy to grow, with good resistance to pests and extremes of heat and cold. They can be left in the ground until needed, although once picked they will keep for up to 3 weeks in the fridge. Musselburgh is a great choice for allotments, where the plants will happily fend for themselves right through winter, requiring little attention over a long season.Whether picked early or left to mature, this versatile veg has a lovely sweet flavour and a firm but tender texture when cooked. Use young baby stems in salads and stir-fries and mature leeks for a great variety of dishes including soups, stews and quiches - and indeed in any dish where you would normally use onion. Having a ready supply of garden-fresh leeks will benefit your health as well as your palate - they are packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, B6, C and K, iron and magnesium, as well as being a good source of fibre and folate.The seeds can be planted directly into their cropping position or started indoors for establishing early - providing baby leeks from as early as late summer. They germinate easily and establish well, with minimum maintenance required. Their compact habit makes them a great choice for small gardens where space is a premium. Choose a sunny, sheltered position, with fertile, well-drained soil. They can make an unusual feature in an herbaceous border, with attractive flowers and seed heads if left to grow.Supplied as a packet of 500 (approx.) seeds ready for sowing indoors from January to February, or outdoors from March to April directly into a seed bed. Harvest from October to March, or even earlier for baby leeks. Grows to 45cm (18in) by 30cm (12in) spread.
