Some of you have been enquiring about purchasing summer veggies. They're not in stock at the moment, because it's still too cold to plant them. See my list of spring veggies in my Plant Nursery Stocklist for what is available in the plant nursery now. These veggies can all be safely planted in the garden now.
I have compiled a list of popular items that will be available in the plant nursery from October onwards. There's no rush, it is safe to plant all of these things in November and December too. Infact it is sometimes better to wait until the weather is more stable before planting your summer garden.
