Whilst having an ice cream in one hand and perhaps a glass of Pimms in the other, August can also be the time to get those itchy green fingers in the warm soil to plant veggies.

Our new vegetable plants have just arrived. It’s the perfect time to plant now for a second summer harvest plus cabbage, brussels, cauliflowers and potatoes for Christmas.

Pentland Javelin
Pentland Javelin grow beautiful new potatoes that will be ready from late Autumn and Christmas. These lovely soft waxy-textured new potatoes have white skins and flesh that is ideal for boiling as a salad or new potato.

Red Duke of York
Red Duke of York are a heritage variety from 1942. This variety is the perfect choice for roast potatoes as they keep their shape when boiled and won’t disintegrate; they also work well when baked or in salads.
