Sustainability
Sustainability
We try to produce as sustainably as possible to keep our footprint small. Therefore, our letterbox boxes are made of grass paper and tomato leaf pulp is the basic component of the seed bags. The printing is either made of paper that is 30-70% recycled paper or paper that comes from agricultural waste. In addition, you have the option to plant a tree when you place an order through Regreener.

If you take a good look at Akelei you will most likely fall in love immediately like us. It is very hard to resist these flowers. They bloom early, at the same time as the late tulips and alliums for example, and are wonderfully beautiful. They self-seed if you don't cut away the seed pods, but we don't worry about that at all. 'Nora Barlow' has a beautiful gradient from cream to pink.

Indoor pre-seeding
Germination is very slow. Putting your seed tray in the refrigerator for a while can help. Then put them in a room at about 18 degrees in a bright spot but away from direct sunlight. Keep the soil moist. Repot once seedlings are 10 cm tall and put in a cool place. Place fall seedlings in a cold greenhouse or cool room for overwintering and plant in late March at 30 cm intervals.
Direct seeding
Direct seeding is easier. Sow directly into the soil in August or October. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. Do not do this during heavy rain or on hot days to prevent the seed from washing away or drying out. Keep the soil moist.
About vegetable seeds
About vegetable seeds
All vegetable seeds are annuals, meaning you have to re-sow them every year, except for hardy herbs. Rosemary, thyme, sage and fennel generally survive the winter just fine.
How many hours of sunshine?
How many hours of sunshine?
Vegetables generally like to grow in full sun. A minimum of 6 hours of sun in summer is a good guide. For annual flowers this is more, there we stick to a minimum of 8 hours of sun per day.
What soil?
What soil?
Vegetables can basically be grown on any type of soil, but it varies for each type of vegetable how nutritious that soil needs to be. You can find more information about this in the description.

Storing seeds
Storing seeds
On the package of your seeds you will find the shelf life. You can use them until the date you see on it. An opened package is best stored in an airtight box in a cool and dark place, such as a closet in the hallway. Not sure if the germination is still good? Then it's best to buy a new pack. We deliberately choose small amounts of seeds in the packs so you don't have to waste seeds. Do you have any questions about this? Call 033 - 202 43 38 or email to [email protected], and we will help you further.
