Vegetableplants.co.uk
This website provides an opportunity to buy vegetable plants for your
garden without having to buy seeds and wait for them to grow. Seed is
expensive, many people do not need a whole packet of seeds and seed can
not be kept easily without deteriorating. This company provides small
healthy organically grown plants by express mail order that can be planted
where they are to mature for a reasonable price.
Healthy Food
Vegetables can provide the basis for a healthy diet. Unfortunately,
to raise vegetables from seed ideally requires a greenhouse and a lot of time.
The ground, if the open site is chosen, needs to be very carefully
prepared and there is a substantial wastage of seed as it has to be sown
in rows -so as to identify which seedlings are vegetables and which are weeds.
Choice of Vegetables
Although some vegetable plants can be readily obtained from
nurseries if you are lucky enough to live near one. By ordering your
plants from us we can provide a range of unusual vegetables, many of which can
be harvested by taking a few leaves at a time. And of course your
vegetables will be fresh!
Seedlings
Seedlings can be supplied in small bio-degradable pots or in plugs.
Plugs are separate seedlings grown in a container that holds four or more
plants separately. Which ever method of cultivating the plants from
seed is used the little plants can be planted immediately on receipt into
the ground.
Raised Beds or Open Ground
If you have a large garden you may prefer to use open ground, however
many people have much smaller gardens and the method of cultivation using
raised beds has several advantages. A raised bed is accessible from
either side and its ends. This means that the ground does not have
to be dug over as it will not be walked on. The plants can be planted much
closer together as the gardener does not have to have access. The pathways
between beds can be kept clear of weeds and mud and so gardening is
cleaner and easier. The sides of my raised beds are wide enough to accommodate a wooden
frame that has chicken wire fencing to deter animals and can be used to
protect the plants.
Contact & Information
xx@vegetableplants.co.uk
but replace xx with "ed" for an initial contact. please note
that the companion website
www.saladplants.co.uk has exactly the same aims.
The original aim was to produce and supply edible plants, on reflection and
for the present, it would seem prudent to act as an agent for nurseries
that are already well equipped to cultivate plants from seed.
Alternatively, we are willing to discus the use of the website under the
sole use of a single supplier.
However, a small trial program of cultivating vegetable plants from
seed is currently underway. In addition, a feasibility study is also underway.
