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.

Gifting

Is (part of) your order a gift for someone? Mention it in the comments and we will wrap it nicely for you.

Fine chives are a very nice herb for the garden: both the stalks and the flowers are edible and the flowers are also great for use as cut flowers. In the vase they sometimes last up to a week!

Pre-sowing February - March

Direct sowing March - April
Harvest May - August

Indoor pre-sowing
Pre-sow from February in seed trays with small compartments. Use seeding soil and sow 1 or 2 seeds per compartment. Place in a cool place of 15 - 18 degrees where it gets even colder at night. Chives need cold to germinate. Transplant from April with a distance of 20 cm.

Direct sowing
Sow directly into the soil from March on well-loosened soil. Sow in rows and thin out to a distance of 20 cm between seedlings. Harvest stems regularly before they flower, or use the flowers in a salad. The plant is perennial and will return the following year if sown in the right place.

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? Call 033 - 202 43 38 or email to [email protected], and we will help you further.
