Fruit and vegetable plants

Fruit bushes are available for much of the year, with vegetable and salad plants sold for a short period from mid-spring to early summer.

Extra grow-your-own offerings include seed potatoes and onion sets in late winter, alongside a selection of Thompson & Morgan seeds.
We sell young vegetable plants in spring/early summer, mostly as strips but also as separate plants. We expect first varieties to be available for Easter.

These can include french beans, runner beans, beetroot, broccoli, brussel sprouts,  carrots, cabbages, cauliflower, celery, spring onions, peas, lettuce and mixed salads.

First tomatoes should be ready late mid/late April. As the weather warms up in May/June look out for aubergines, courgettes, cucumbers, and sweetcorn as well as peppers and chillis.
 
Our range of fruit bushes and plants usually includes strawberries, rhubarb, raspberries, gooseberries, blueberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants and whitecurrants as well as some less commonly found types.

When planting edibles it is always best to prepare the soil by adding plenty of organic matter such as well rotted manure or compost beforehand.
 
Blueberries prefer an acid soil, which is not normally found in East Anglia, but these can be grown in large tubs in ericaceous compost. With strawberries and raspberries it is a good idea to add sequestered iron on to our alkaline soil in springtime. A feed of fish, blood and bone can be given once a year.

This list is by no means exhaustive – to see our full range you will have to come and visit us! Please also bear in mind that not all plants will be in stock at any one time – if there is a variety you particularly want, please phone or email to check beforehand.
