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.

This cheerful golden yellow stem lettuce bean is a slightly more tender version of the familiar green green green green bean. They are also called butter beans because the taste is so buttery smooth. Another nice thing is that they don't make strings like green beans, so they are nice and easy to prepare!

Indoor pre-sowing
Pre-sowing can be done starting in April in a cold container or unheated greenhouse. Sow 2 seeds in a P9 pot or sowing tray with large boxes. Transplant from mid-May with 10 cm spacing.
Direct sowing
Sow in the garden between mid-May and mid-July. Sow 2 - 3 beans every 10 cm on well-loosened soil. This is a low variety, the plant grows about 50 cm high. By sowing several beans close together the plants have support from each other. Sow preferably at the beginning of a reasonably warm week, in cold and wet weather the beans germinate poorly. Harvest when the beans are about 12 cm long and look fresh. Also suitable for freezing after blanching.
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?

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.
