Papaver rhoeas
Shirley Double Mix is a beautiful annual Poppy producing delicate double and semi-double flowers in a varied mixture of pink, rose, red, salmon and white, often with softly blended or picotee-edged petals. Growing to approximately 70 cm tall, the slender stems and tissue-like blooms create a wonderfully airy cottage garden display.
Shirley Poppies are descendants of the wild field poppy and are loved for their extraordinary range of soft colours and flower forms. They are ideal for cottage gardens, wildflower plantings and borders, while the open flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects.
Easy to grow and quick to establish, Shirley Poppies prefer cooler growing conditions, full sun and well-drained soil. Plants readily self-seed when mature seed pods are left in place, often returning naturally in following seasons.

Brassica oleracea
Spigariello Broccoli is a traditional Italian heirloom grown for its abundant leafy greens rather than a single large head. Closely related to Broccoli and part of the wider Brassicaceae family, this variety produces tender, slightly crinkled leaves with a mild, sweet broccoli flavour and no bitterness. Instead of forming a central head, Spigariello is cut-and-come-again, producing a continuous supply of nutritious greens over an extended period. The young leaves can be picked regularly, encouraging fresh growth and making it an ideal choice for kitchen gardens and small spaces. Rich in vitamins A, C and K, these greens are traditionally used in Italian cooking, often sautéed with garlic and olive oil or added to soups and pasta dishes. The flavour is gentle and versatile, sitting somewhere between broccoli and kale, but softer and more tender. A hardy cool-season crop, Spigariello thrives in well-prepared soil with consistent moisture. Regular harvesting keeps plants productive and prevents them from becoming tough. A beautiful, productive green that brings both flavour and tradition to the garden.
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica)
Broccoli Seeds - Broccoli was used by Romans and called "Cabbage Flower" and in England as "Italian Asparagus" from early 1700's. High in vitamin C and protein. Likes soil rich and well watered. Sow anytime to ensure harvest during cooler months, doesn't do best in hot weather. Frost hardy.

Allium cepa
Red Brunswick is an old European Onion producing large, semi-flat bulbs with deep red to burgundy skin. Inside, the crisp white flesh is attractively marked with concentric red rings, giving the bulbs plenty of colour when sliced.
The firm flesh has a good traditional onion flavour with enough sweetness for fresh use while retaining plenty of character when cooked. Slice into salads, sandwiches and burgers, add to pickles and relishes, or use in roasting, soups, stews and sauces. Cooking softens both the flavour and some of the vivid red colouring.
Red Brunswick is a late-maturing variety and is particularly valued for its excellent storage qualities. The mature bulbs develop protective outer skins and, when properly cured, can be stored for an extended period in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place.
Also known as Brunswick Red, this heritage variety has long been grown in Europe as a dependable storage onion. Its combination of large bulbs, striking colour and keeping ability has ensured its continued popularity with home gardeners.
Onions have been cultivated since ancient times, with their origins generally traced to Central and Southwest Asia. Their versatility and ability to store for extended periods made them an important staple crop throughout the ancient world and eventually led to the enormous diversity of regional varieties grown today.
