| Nothing beats the satisfaction and flavour of home grown vegetables We love our vegetables at Monkton Elm and we are always looking for new varieties for you to try. Our already extensive range is expanding once again and for those with little spare time we will be stocking a selection of ‘ready to pick’ vegetables such as aubergines and tomatoes, where most of the work has been done for you! If you have time but are short on space, there will be plenty of choice of 6 pack punnets and single pots, enough for several meals but with no ‘gluts’ and no 1/2 used seed packets. Of course, we will also have larger packs and our ever popular locally grown ‘strips’ of beans, peas, leeks and sweetcorn which offer exceptional value for money. Growing your own produce brings you into contact with the seasons and closer to nature and helps the whole family understand where their food comes from. If you are new to vegetable growing and fancy using some of your garden for food production choose a sunny area. Try to avoid areas close to trees or hedges. although some shelter from strong winds is a good idea. If your soil is not very good, then consider making raised beds filled with topsoil and compost or rotted manure. Our knowledgeable plant team will be pleased to help with your selection and can offer advice on growing conditions, planting and harvesting. |
