Stormy Hall Seeds- organic, biodynamic seeds

Stormy Hall Seeds:

'via Blog this'

We grow our seed crops on organic, Demeter-certified land and exclusively offer open-pollinated and pure line varieties as alternatives to hybrid varieties. We reject the use of hybrids because we are convinced that they are not suitable for biodynamic plant growing. They are produced using unsuitable biotechnology techniques, the crops have a lower nutritional value, and it is impossible for gardeners and farmers to save their own seeds from F1 hybrid varieties. We therefore retain and care for well-tried varieties in order to ensure their continued development and availability. These varieties have been maintained and multiplied on organically-managed land over many years and thus are well adapted to organic growing conditions.

Update from the greenhouse ( and surounding area )




Some red tomatoes coming now and courgettes getting ready. Lots of seedlings waiting to be planted once it stops raining so heavily. Runner beans, french beans, broccoli, kale, peas ( great bootfair bargain at 25p/12 plants ) and some perennials ( also a bargain at 20-50p/plant or £1/10 established seedlings) , some lovely dhalias and Livingstone daisies .
Ordered 2 polytunnel cloches to protect some fresh seedlings from our drake ( as he seems to take fancy of these) and some more seeds ( rainbow carrots, ghurkins (piccolo di parigi), peas (main crop ), Endivia Romanesca and China Rose Winter raddish )





herbs table and salad bar :)
