I was in the middle of my daily exercise routine the other morning. I had finished a couple of press-ups and was jogging on the spot and overlooking the canal. I was feeling good and looking good too in my new Sambas, crisp white polo and white sweatpants when there was a sudden downpour. I was soaked.
It was just as I was bending over the Easy Baskets,* about to perform a burpee, when a woman, a customer that had been watching me for a few moments, asked, “Do you have grafted vegetables?” “Of course madam,” I replied “let me show you…”
Grafted plants are grown with root stock to improve health and have great resistance to pests and diseases.
Grafted vegetables are exactly the same but offer more produce – reported up to 75% – with excellent results and are delicious! Excellent candidates for grafting are tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, cucumbers, melons and squashes. We have a great selection right now. Why not give them a go?
You could say grafted vegetables are vegetables without the hard graft.
With the produce sorted perhaps it’s time to put your feet up? There is no better place to do that than in your garden and we’d say no better place to see new garden furniture than at Whilton Locks right now.

Neil, our plant manager, has just ran past waving his cucumber around.
Innuendo? I don’t think so. It’s vulgar and completely unnecessary.
I trudged away, still soaked, thinking I really must sort out my plants!
See you soon
