Pink Garlic Germidour

Pink Garlic Germidour

'Germidour' is one of the most satisfying garlic varieties you can grow, producing big and compact bulbs with white, papery skin streaked in pinky-purple. Mild and subtle in flavour, with a delicate aroma - perfect for many savoury dishes, whether used raw in salad dressings or in cooking. Originating in France, this worthy winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit is virus-free and a reliable cropper with bulbs of around 10-12 succulent cloves.This 'softneck' garlic doesn't produce flower stems but will mature earlier than 'hardneck' alternatives, while also storing better too, even for up to three months after harvest! The garlic that is most commonly sold in supermarkets is softneck - but don't be tempted to propagate shop-bought garlic as it will be more prone to disease and crop far less efficiently than plants grown from these superior horticultural quality bulbs.Traditionally, garlic is planted on the shortest day of the year in December and harvested on the longest in June, although it can be planted in autumn or spring, with the former resulting in earlier crops.Although winter hardy, this may benefit from cold protection, or can be grown in a greenhouse or tunnel. If planting in the spring, just wait until frosts have gone before placing in the ground. 'Germidour' thrives in sunny spots in most well-draining soils, but if soil is heavy, prepare the plot in advance by digging in some well-rotted garden compost, adding sand or grit to improve drainage. Or grow in good-quality compost in a raised bed, trug or container.Supplied as a pair of bulbs, ready to split into approximately 10-12 cloves for planting.

Oregano (Greek) Seeds

Oregano (Greek) Seeds

What better way to add flavour to your cooking than picking herbs fresh from the plant?

Ancient Greeks called it 'Joy of the Mountain' and it was commonly woven into bridal bouquets and used in traditional remedies for its digestive and antiseptic properties. Its bright green, aromatic leaves and small white or purplish summer flowers make a lovely addition to any windowsill or garden.Considered the 'true oregano' by generations of cooks and gardeners, Greek oregano is the best of the bunch as far as flavour is concerned as it is has a stronger, more earthy character than other varieties, with hot and peppery notes.
