Last weekend the clocks went back, giving us an extra hour in bed and an earlier sunrise and sunset. Tomorrow is November... For many of us, the garden is quietening down, finding it's slower rhythm for the second half of the year. Working with seeds, winter brings a new kind of joy. A chance to process and store the abundance of the season, and send out packets of potential to eager hands. A chance for all of us to get cosy and have a browse of what next year might bring. With that in mind...ββ ...The 2027 Seed Catalogue is now live!The catalogue contains all of our much loved varieties, and a wonderful selection of new varieties that we have been working on this year. You can have a look at the catalogue by clicking the image above (to download the PDF), or by browsing our online seed shop.
Every year we select some new varieties to trial, and those that we love we add to our main catalogue. This year, we've included some new flowers and vegetables, including new varieties of sweet peas, carrots, peppers, helichrysum, chia, lupins, chicory, and more! We're also pleased to say that we are offering a 10% discount for the first 100 customers to purchase seeds from us, to celebrate our catalogue launch.

These are wonderful as gifts or Christmas stocking fillers, and only available at this time of year. |

We've been in full swing here on the farm, taking down summer structures, clearing beds, and planting out lots more winter crops.

We have been processing the seeds of our own squash harvest, and celebrating autumn with the first bowls of squash soup. Winter squash on the farm If you've been growing cucurbits this year,...
