Seasonal Produce

In summer our seasonal salad leaf mix contains a number of lettuce varieties including Barba dei Frati, Red Sails, Kamalia, Cocarde and Lollo Rosso. We mix this with Mizuna, a variety of colourful mustard leaves, french sorrel, rocket and the edible flowers nastursiums and borage. 

Summer crops are in full swing now. Our broad beans are sweet and tasty right now, the courgettes and cucumbers have just started cropping and our squash are in the ground and should be ready to harvest in a few weeks.

We are also harvesting spinach beet which should continue throughout the summer and have a trial plot of delicious baby beetroots.

The glasshouse is full of basil (sweet genovese, compact and a bright purple red basil) which smells amazing, this along with parsley and corriander grown outdoors make up our summer herbs.
