Seed kits and seasonal bags
Everything that comes as a set. Buy a box once and you have the year; buy a bag when you already know what you are sowing next.
Best value — 43p a variety
Seeded Box Kit
£12.99
A year of vegetable growing in one box: thirty varieties, six degradable pots, six bamboo markers, a pair of gloves and instructions worth reading. Brassicas and roots for spring beds, salad and chard for summer succession, spinach and peas for autumn, and tomatoes and cucumbers to start on a windowsill in February.

The box is the cheapest way in, by a distance: £12.99 is 43p a variety against £1.75 for a single packet. Buy it once, then top up with packets when you know what you actually grow.
The other box
Fifty-five varieties in a resealable pouch, vegetables with herbs and flowers. More than most gardens need in one year, which is exactly why some people buy it.
Grand Selection — 55 varieties
£18.99
Vegetables, herbs and flowers, at 35p a variety — the lowest price per packet we sell. It comes as a pouch rather than a box, so there are no pots, markers or gloves with it.
Seasonal bags
