As it retains warmth and humidity allowing for quicker growth it is a great way to extend the sowing season for salads and leaves.

It will fit comfortably over a raised bed as shown here, giving protection to outdoor tomatoes, brassicas and tender plants such as courgettes.

Alternatively it can be used as a shelter for tender patio plants, pots or trays.

The frame is easy to assemble, made from powder coated steel with ground pegs to secure it. The protection cover is heavy duty giving protection both against weather and pests. There are 4 side zips for easy access and has insect proof ventilation panels at either side.

We love this harvest bucket - made from sturdy steel wire, it is ideal for harvesting anything from your vegetable plot such as potatoes, courgettes, carrots to cauliflowers.

Lift your spuds and let the soil spill through the basket back to the ground.

And if you don’t have a veg patch … and just love the basket then use it to store anything from kindling wood and old newspapers, to balls of knitting wool…

Handmade in the traditional fashion from strips of shaped wood and held in place by solid brass pins and screws.

Based on a sculpture by Michael Talbot. Would look equally relaxed inside as well as out. Made of lightweight resin with a bronzed finish.

For an extra special gift why not add some Italian seeds too?

Used by the ancients the phases of the moon are believed to have a beneficial effect on the growth of certain plants.
So when the moon is waxing i.e. where the light of the moon is increasing then it is believed to be the time to plant or sow vegetables that grow above the ground. Such as spinach, peppers, beans, broccoli etc.
Likewise when the moon is waning and there is less light then is the time to plant root vegetable such as potatoes, beetroots or carrots.
