Chopsuey Greens – Shungiku
Original price was: £5.99.£4.79Current price is: £4.79.
(10 Plug Plants)Cut & come again all summer
If you think these leaves look a bit like Chrysanthemums, you’d be right – they’re from the same family! Chopsuey makes a fab addition to the veg plot – you can plant them close together, so they are good for pots or beds, and harvest when they reach about 12cm tall by simply cutting across the base of plants as cut & come again. Towards the end of summer, let it flower for gorgeous yellow & white blooms. Pull it up before it seeds.
Number of plants: 10 organic plug plants
Variety: Shungiku (organic*)
In the kitchen: Cook it up like spinach, or stir-fry.

Original price was: £5.99.£4.49Current price is: £4.49.
(3 Plug Plants)For a fabulous autumn display
These fun, brightly coloured non-edible gourds will add that rustic, natural touch to autumn displays. Best grown up a trellis or support to keep plants off the ground to produce better fruits. They will need full sunshine, and will do well grown in a polytunnel/greenhouse. The mix provides a range of shapes, sizes and colours for harvesting in October. They’ll look great on windowsills and as table decorations.
Please note: These ornamental squashes are not edible. If you grow these alongside other pumpkins/squashes, DO NOT collect seed at the end of the season as cross-pollination can occur.
