Veranda Red
February 18, 2020
Bred in Britain, the patio tomato packed with flavour!
There is nothing better than picking a tomato that you have grown yourself! Especially when it tastes as good as the Veranda Red.
As tomato plants go, it doesn’t get much better than the Veranda Red. Taking 15 years to perfect, this plant was truly a labour of love. However, now it’s here and it’s ready to rock your cherry tomato world!
February Newsletter

February is not well-loved. When did you ever hear anyone say it was their favourite month? In February 1587, Mary Queen of Scots lost her head and in 1958 the first parking meters appeared in London. And on top of that, it is often cold, dark, dank and damp. But (thank goodness for a but) the days are getting longer, and the first hints of spring are showing.
Snowdrops and early daffodils are in bloom as are hellebores and, here in Devon, our county flower, the primrose, is cheerfully brightening the grass verges and woodland.

Wishing you Happy Gardening During 2020!
January is not an easy month to love. When did you ever hear someone say, “January is my favourite month”? Christmas is over, the days are short, the nights long and the weather can be pretty grim. Even the garden birds are miserable. So, we have a choice. We can be grumpy and hide under the duvet or we can wrap up warm and get outdoors. Snowdrops will be in flower this month and a walk through swathes of pure white will help lift the spirits. Alternatively, there are always jobs to do in the garden.
Did you make any new year resolutions? Have you broken them yet? 😊
December Newsletter
November 29, 2019
The month with the shortest days and the longest nights, we can only hope that December’s daylight hours are cold and crisp with clear blue skies. Such days can be filled with warming winter digging and pruning, plus raking up and bagging the last of the fallen leaves.
