What you could be eating now…

Friday, July 8th, 2011

I’ve got tons of strawberrries that I’ve had to pick each day – raspberries too!

Plus Beetroots are starting to be ready, very yummy early potatoes, and peas and French beans too.

I’ve sown more beetroot so I can have a real glut to pickle as I’m a huge fan of pickled beetroot. The first lot though I will be eating just boiled with salad and new potatoes for my tea!

Hyacinth 'Midnight Mystique' - 3 bulbs

Hyacinth ‘Midnight Mystique’ – 3 bulbs was £12.99 now £8.99
Rare and highly sought after, this is the first and original black hyacinth! Available again due to popular demand – you won’t find this variety for sale anywhere else! Launched to a frenzy of interest at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2005, Hyacinth ‘Midnight Mystique&trade’ was soon completely sold out. A real breakthrough in breeding, Thompson & Morgan spent 16 years developing just three mother bulbs and the result is this stunning, unusual hardy black hyacinth with a heavenly scent. Try it in contemporary silver patio pots, or grow it in beds and borders. Either way, make sure it’s on show for all to enjoy! Height: 20cm (8”). Spread: 8cm (3”). For the darkest black blooms, Hyacinth ‘Midnight Mystique’ must be grown outdoors, as flowers will appear purple in colour when ‘forced’ for indoor cultivation.

Strawberry 'Irresistible' (EM1294) - 1000 runners

Strawberry ‘Irresistible’ (EM1294) – 1000 runners £249.99

The vigorous dark green plants produce well shaped, glossy berries with a large calyx, and an exceptional sweet and juicy flavour. The delicious fruits are ready to harvest from June to early July but will also stand well on the plant for a short time. Cropping periods can also be brought forward or extended if you are growing them in a greenhouse or polytunnel. Strawberry ‘Irresistible’ is well suited to growing in containers for a space saving crop on the patio. Height: 20cm (8”). Spread: 30cm (12”).**Propagation prohibited. For home gardener use only. Further propagation of Strawberry ‘Irresistible’ is forbidden without a license from Meiosis.
