Hornbeam, Carpinus betulus

Hornbeam, Carpinus betulus

A deciduous, broadleaf tree native to the UK, hornbeam is very similar to Beech both in looks and habit, even retaining many of its leaves through winter (although it does lose a few more than Beech). Hornbeam has bright green new leaves in spring with deep veins and a serrated edge, which differentiates it from Beech, and these give way to coppery leaves in winter, which are retained by the tree through the colder months.Often confused with beach which has as less serrated leaf and also fruits which lack wings, hornbeam is more tolerant of poor soils and exposed sites than beech, and if your ground lays a little wet in winter for example clay soils, then hornbeam will tolerate this better.These features mean that Hornbeam is perfect for creating high hedges to screen out noise and wind, growing around 20-40cm per year and quickly creating a high privacy screen.As well as creating a border to your garden, hedges are also great for the environment and wildlife, and hornbeam is no different as it provides shelter and food supplies for many animals, especially as it retains its leaves over winter.Supplied as an 80-100 cm plant (inc 3L pot), ready for planting out - potted plants can be planted at any time as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged.NB Plants are dormant between October and April and are sent out without leaves.

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.

Its deliciously sweet flavour is balanced with a tender but crunchy texture - great for eating raw or in stir-fries, or conventionally boiled, steamed or roasted to make the most of its superior flavour.This reliable, trusted variety is a great companion plant to grow alongside onions, leeks or mint as their aroma will repel carrot fly, providing an extra line of deterrence to ensure good cropping.Supplied as a packet of approx. 350 seeds.

Bramley Apple tree

Bramley Apple tree

Considered the 'King of Cooking Apples' by respected chefs and professional fruit growers, 'Bramley' was raised from a single seed planted by Mary Ann Brailsford in 1809. Since then it has gone on to become the world's best-known and favourite cooking apple, standing the test of time over 200 years! It is considered supreme because its fruits have the perfect acidic flavour required for use in the kitchen and the almost pure-white flesh becomes incredibly light and fluffy when cooked. 'Bramley' is an incredibly heavy cropper once established, with high-quality fruits that will store through the winter months. Pick them in early October (before they get over-ripe) and store cold but frost-free for use until January. Our grower-quality, multi-branched, bare-root trees have been grafted onto a dwarfing rootstock to provide a compact and manageable habit, which in this case will reach about 2m (6-7 ft) tall. It is best to grow 'Bramley' alongside another apple variety such as 'Braeburn' for best fruit set, as 'Bramley' is not self-fertile. 'The Bramley Apple bought earlier this year had masses of bloom which made an attractive feature in the botttom of the garden and after a little fruit drop my father and I had 3 decent size Bramley apples which had a very good flavour. They went down very well with a home-made pie (1 apple) and baked apple, and I would certainly recommend the following recipe: Take a generous handful of sultanas and soak overnight in whisky with a dash of cloves added. Take the apples and core them, also make a cut just through the skin around the circumference to prevent the apples splitting, and place on an ovenproof dish.Stuff the core cavity with the sultanas and then add sugar to the remaining spirit to make a thick syrup (consistency of honey) and drizzle over the top of the apples. Then bake at 180 degrees for about 35-40 mins and then serve up with cream or ice cream to enjoy the fruits of the garden!Robert, Middlesex - October 2014

Parsley Giant of Italy Seeds

Parsley Giant of Italy Seeds

Growing your own parsley from seed, whether indoors or outdoors, will reward you with vigorous plants that can be cut just when you need a fresh bunch for your cooking - a much better solution than those frustrating supermarket pot herbs that barely last 2-3 weeks.'Giant of Italy' is considered one of the very best flat-leaf parsley varieties, producing robust plants with sturdy upright stems bearing large, dark green leaves. Having a terrific sweet and pungent taste when used raw, it also retains its rich, strong flavour in cooked dishes - much better than its curly leafed cousin. The preferred choice of many professional cooks, this versatile, aromatic herb can be used in an endless variety of savoury dishes such as soups, stews and pasta, as well as added raw to salads and sandwiches; it also makes a tasty garnish that will rarely be left on the plate.Highly nutritious, parsley is packed full of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, being an excellent source of iron and vitamin C, as well as many other nutrients. Used as a medicinal herb for centuries, it is said to aid digestion, clear the skin and even to freshen the breath if chewed after eating strongly flavoured foods.This tall-growing variety will continue to produce fresh new leaves many times after being cut. The best flavour is in the young leaves and regular harvesting will promote the new growth. Grown outside, it will also attract beneficial insects to your garden. Being a hardy biennial, it will set seed in its second year, although it is best grown as an annual, although if grown in a sheltered, well-drained position, plants can be protected over winter with mulch or cloches to produce new growth in the spring.Supplied as a packet of 500 (approx.) seeds ready to plant indoors or outdoors in their growing position. Sow indoors all year round or outdoors from March to July, directly where they are to crop in containers or in the ground. Harvest all year round indoors or outdoors from May.
