Five seed packets, and five chances to grow something awesome.
We're talking garden-to-bowl goodness. Fresh crunchy, and totally free from that weird 'grocery store' vibe.
Our Seasonal Box is like your garden - full of surprises. The five varieties inside are handpicked to suit this season. Expect five of the 70+ RAW varieties, selected for this season.
Lettuce Mesclun Mix
The French refer to this blend of lettuce and herbs as a mesclun, and who are we to disagree with the French? Plant this classic mixture in your kitchen garden or containers, and enjoy the harvest of Red Giant Mustard, Lettuce Oakleaf, Lettuce Silvia and Arugula. We've combined them in equal parts so no one feels left out.
Mesclun Mix Lettuce is traditionally used in a salad that celebrates every taste and texture sensation: sweet, tangy, crunchy and silky. The blend is both beautiful and delicious, which is the pinnacle of achievement in any lettuce's life.
Basil Culinary Blend
Why plant one type of basil when you can plant them ALL? This mixed pack includes Genovese, Corsican, Lemon and Cinnamon Basil. Because variety is the spice of life. (Sorry, we can't help ourselves).
Basil and tomatoes go together like mac 'n cheese. (Just way better for you). Genovese works especially well in pestos, and fish dishes will benefit from a touch of this fragrant herb. Curious about the Cinnamon variety? It tastes like Christmas. If Christmas were basil.
Eggplant Oriental Fingerlings
Eggplants are cool. Finger-shaped eggplants are cooler. These come in an array of purples, greens and whites, and the fruit is prized for it's tender, non-bitter flesh. The best part? You'll get a large crop that's just as easy to grow as the average (i.e. less cool) eggplant.
Fingerling eggplants are sweeter than other varieties, and best munched on when harvested young. Why? Because EXTRA FLAVOUR, that's why. Go on, show your dinner guests how alternative you are with your vegetable choices.
Lettuce Gourmet Salad Blend
A tasty, colourful mix of five loose leaf varieties. They range from shades of green to red, with textures from oak leaf to tightly ruffled. Sow this exciting mix every week to ten days for a constant supply of fresh salad leaves throughout the season. Goodbye, soggy packets of store-bought fridge lettuce.
Fast-growing, tender, and selected for a long harvest, our Gourmet Salad Blend is best when picked minutes before your meal. You can practically taste the sunshine on your plate.
Spinach Bloomsdale
This heirloom gem boasts a bountiful yield through the seasons, and is large in size, with thick glossy savoyed leaves and without any of the bitter drama (if harvested before shooting up flowering stalks). So make sure to harvest your Bloomsdale Spinach young, and get pumped like Popeye!
Play chef by adding the richly flavoured leaves of the Bloomsdale Spinach to pack a punch in salads or as a cooked green with a drizzle of Olive Oyl (we'll admit, our jokes are about as heirloom as our varieties are, but we just had to).
