Are You Planning To Grow Any Of The Top Five Selling Vegetable Seeds

Posted on by Michelle in Unwins, Vegetables

Decided to grow vegetables this year but can’t decide what to go grow? Unwins, one of the biggest sellers of vegetable seeds in the UK have let me take a sneak peek at what their customers are buying, and it’s looking like it’s going to something of a family affair this year…

1. Carrot Autumn King Seeds

These carrot seeds are flying off the shelves at Unwins and it’s not difficult to work out why. Growing these carrots will give you a great crop, and with large, heavy roots, these carrots can be lifted from late Summer into the Winter.

Tip: If you want to store your crop, clean them up and pack them in dry sand or compost and they’re stay fresh for ages.

The Carrot Autumn King Seeds are available in packs of 2000+ seeds for £1.29 at Unwins.

2. Setton Onion Set

I think the main reason these Onion Sets have been selling so well is because they store so well, which is important in a credit crunch where every penny counts.

The Setton Onion set is available in packs of 100 for £2.95 at Unwins.

3. Gro Sack First Early Potato Growing Kit

Another sign that we’re all trying to save some pennies in 2009 by growing our own is seen with the Gro Sack Potato Growing Kit.

This kit has been designed to allow anyone who has a few spare inches outside their house (no garden needed) to grow their own potatoes. The potatoes it will produce for you are extra-early new potatoes that come with waxy flesh and gorgeously soft bite.

The Gro Sack First Early Potato Growing Kit is available for £13.95 at Unwins.

4. Cress Curly Seeds For Kids

You were probably wondering what I meant about vegetable gardening being a family affair, well this is it. Cress has been flying off the shelves at Unwins, which may well be down to parents teaching their kids how to save a bit of money!

The Cress Curly Seeds For Kids are available in packs for only £0.99 at Unwins

5. Leek Musselburgh Seeds

The Leek Musselburgh seed is perfect for the newbie Leek grower because it’s extremely hardy, offers a huge crop and is one of the reliable winter veggies out there.

The Leek Musselburgh Seeds are available in packs of 20+ seeds (about 200 plants) for £1.49 at Unwins.
