Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness

If you want to have a season of mellow fruitfulness next year then now is the time to plant soft fruit and trees. We have a great range of fruit ready to plant now. We have Apples, Pears, Cherrries and Plums as well as Blackberries, Blackcurrants, Blueberries, Cob nuts, Gooseberries, Grapes, Kiwi fruits, Loganberries, Raspberries and Redcurrants. What are you waiting for? Come on in and get your fruit garden sorted now!! It doesn't matter if you don't have a dedicated fruit garden you can grow your crops amongst other plants in your garden or even in pots! Why not give it a go and try growing your own.
Whilst we're talking about growing your own - did you know that you can plant overwintering Onion Sets now? They will be ready to eat from May onwards. Now is the perfect time to plant Garlic, too. We have the excellent variety "Solent Wight" in stock. It's very hardy and produces large, well flavoured bulbs.
