Do you need a 'How to Grow Veg' Book?
The seed collections include basic instructions, but a good gardening book is really an essential if you are a complete newcomer.
There is really only one that we recommend - Grow Your Own Vegetables by Joy Larkcom. This is a brilliant book that will give you the confidence and basic information you need as you start out, but has enough detail that you will keep referring to it for years to come. We learned how to grow veg from an earlier edition many years ago.

Our wonderful Salad Seed Collection
A set of quick growing and reliable salad plants - there's so much more to salad than lettuce! We are always trialling new salad varieties to find the best ones for sowing and cropping throughout the year. Many of these will be familiar to you, others may be new, but all are delicious and very easy to grow.
It is particularly good value as we have included a packet of the Mortons Secret Mix Lettuce, with hundreds of different strains of lettuce in it, so you get a vast amount of variety in your salads from just a single packet.
They've been chosen sow that you can sow throughout the year, from spring through to autumn (see individual packets for sowing times and instructions).
- Salad Rocket
- Green Purslane
- Red Mizuna
- Mortons Secret Mix of very mixed letuces
- Claytonia (or Miners Lettuce)
