Product of the Month - June

Products of the month for June are the Fair Trade flower seeds, grown in South Africa and packaged in Suffolk. A lovely collection of seeds which can be planted from June onwards in the garden. Drought tolerant and easy to grow, this gorgeous blue four petalled flower is a fast germinator and looks good in the border, window boxes or containers. You can also buy this as a gift set with the popular Paper Potter and a jute gift bag.

Product of the Month - March

March's product of the month has to be the Paper Potter Gift Set. Its nearly Easter and everything is growing in the garden. Its the ideal time to start making your own seedling pots out of old newspapers with the wooden Paper Potter. This lovely gift set includes a pack of Fair Trade flower seeds grown in South Africa and presented in a jute drawstring bag.

Product of the Month - December

Thought I would start a Product of the month to link in with our featured products on the web site.

December is the Paper Potter. This ingenius little garden tool can make small seedling pots out of newspaper in a matter of minutes. Its a great gift for Grandad and will keep them amused Christmas afternoon before falling asleep in the chair. Any newspaper can be used however the tabloids are more colourful! Its been a popular line in the shop this year. Just fold strips of newspaper round the wooden former and then push into the little cup. Hey Presto - you have a little pot.

Spring is in the Air

I love this time of year, you know that winter is now over as the daffodils start blooming and everything comes alive in the garden. We have been busy with the vegetable plot and released some of the worms from the wormery to hopefully make even better soil for next year. We have still got leeks in the garden and yesterday had the last of the carrots from last year. I baked a lovely spinach flan using our own spinach from the garden and local free range eggs from the farm. I think its going to be leek and potato pie for dinner today!

Green Eyed Frog has some new additions in the form of fair trade flower seeds from South Africa. We are looking forward to planting these later on in the year. We have also put together a lovely gift for Spring - the Paper Potter Gift Set which includes a packet of seeds, jute bag and the popular wooden paper potter. You can then make your own seedling pots from newspaper and plant the seeds in the greenhouse or windowsill before going outside.
