Hearty winter veg grown from seeds

It’s definitely winter, as buyers of seeds for sale at Seeds By Post website (http://www.seedsbypost.co.uk) will no doubt have noticed. The clocks have gone back, the days are shorter and in some places the first snow of the season has fallen. But winter has a lot to celebrate too. We’ve just had Halloween and many will have attended the local bonfire night celebrations over the weekend. Then it’s the traditional time of parties in the lead up to Christmas and of course New Year.

And there’s another reason to like winter – the food! Winter food is hearty and warming. From thick and tasty soups to stews and casseroles, winter food is delicious, nutritious, earthy and healthy. And who can forget that great British invention, the Sunday Roast!

There’s one ingredient that’s essential in all these foods of course and that’s good quality vegetables. Our vegetable seeds range has all the winter veg you’ll need for your winter meals and if you planted your cheap seeds earlier this year you may well be enjoying a bountiful harvest right now!
