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.

Native

Native plants are native to our country. Plants from here can only be native if they have not been "played with," i.e., they must not have been grown on. Native planting is important for our biodiversity. Insects depend on them.

Yarrow is a native umbellifer that you find everywhere in August on roadsides and roadsides. An important host plant for dozens of species of butterflies, but also a beautiful pick flower that you can eat just as well. An all-rounder that is important in nature!

Flowering time June - September

Indoor pre-seeding
Pre-sow starting in February. Do not cover the seeds, they need light to germinate. Put them in a room at 18 degrees in a bright spot but away from direct sunlight. Keep the soil moist and water only from the bottom of the container. At 2 sets of true leaves, the seedlings can be transplanted. Harden off outside and transplant after the last night frost with a distance of 30 cm.

Dsow directly
Sow directly into the soil from April to June when the chance of frost has passed. 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. Flowering will come the following year.

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?

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?

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

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?
