Platycodon grandiflorus
A long lived perennial producing distinctive blue flowers that swell like small balloons before opening into star shaped blooms. Valued both ornamentally and medicinally, Platycodon has an important place in East Asian herbal traditions, where the root is commonly used in cough remedies. Young foliage has also been used fresh in salads. Plants form tidy clumps and flower reliably once established, making them well suited to borders, cottage gardens, and herb beds.

Planting / Sowing
Sow seed onto the surface of moist, well drained soil and press in lightly, as light aids germination. Best sown in cool conditions.

Avoid disturbing roots once established, as plants dislike transplanting.

Hordeum vulgare
A fast-growing cereal traditionally used for grain, fodder, and soil improvement. Barley is also widely grown as barley grass for microgreens and juicing, harvested young for its fresh, grassy flavour and nutritional value. As a field crop or green manure, it helps suppress weeds, protect soil structure, and add organic matter. Barley performs best in free draining soils with moderate fertility and prefers neutral to slightly alkaline soils, performing poorly in strongly acidic conditions.
