Varieties span the main kitchen garden staples — beetroot, carrot, pea, radish, kale, leek, spinach, courgette and sweet corn, plus herbs including basil and parsley.
The selection has been put together with succession sowing in mind, so you can stagger crops through the season rather than ending up with everything ready at once.
Growing organic vegetable seeds in raised beds, pots and allotments
These varieties work across most growing setups — raised beds, deep containers, traditional allotment rows, or mixed borders. Compact varieties like radish and spring onion do well in pots; the likes of squash and sweet corn appreciate more space but are manageable in a decent-sized raised bed.

Frequently asked questions about organic vegetable seeds
Can organic vegetable seeds be grown in pots and containers?
Yes — quite a few varieties do well in containers. Radish, spring onion, basil and parsley are particularly pot-friendly. Courgette and squash can work too, but they'll need a decent-sized pot and regular watering.
Are organic vegetable seeds suitable for allotments?
Very much so. There's enough variety to plan a full season of succession sowing, and crops like leek, parsnip, broad bean and kale all perform well in open ground.
Do these organic seed packs include herb varieties?
Yes — basil and parsley are both in the collection, and worth including even if your main focus is veg. They're quick to use and grow well alongside most kitchen garden crops.
