Kitchen Garden

 
Growing your own food is very popular at the moment and we stock
a whole range of seasonal plants to get you started.
 
Fruit Trees are available all year round and, because they are
container grown, they can be planted at any time of year. We usually
have available a good selection of apples, pears, plums and
sometimes nectarines, peaches, cherries and nuts.  The fruit trees
are available on a variety of rootstocks, which determine the eventual
size of the tree.  We also have available fan trained fruit trees for
growing up against walls.  All our fruit trees have been selected to
do well in Northern regions.
 
Fruit Bushes are mainly available in the spring, with a good choice
of gooseberries, currants, blackberries and sometimes cranberries
and blueberries (pictured right).
 
  Raspberry Canes (pictured left) are available as bare-rooted
canes, wrapped in a plastic sleeve, from November through to
late winter.  We usually have a range that includes autumn
fruiting types.
   
  Strawberry Plants are available from early spring right through
to September.  These are all locally grown and are available in
small pots, or hanging baskets for a more unusual ornamental
feature.
   
  Vegetables are available as young plants in the spring.  The
range includes brassicas, Kelsae onion, lettuce, beans and
sweetcorn.
   
  Herbs are available for much of the year, although tender varieties
such as dill, tarragon and basil are only available when the risk of
frost has passed.  All our herbs are intended to be planted outside
although some can survive on a windowsill for some time.
   
From January each year we have available a great selection of Seed Potatoes including Pink
Fir Apple, International Kidney (Jersey Royal) and the ever popular Duke of York.  Look out too
for our excellent range of onion and shallot sets.
