Hi Everyone,

After much consideration, I have decided to cut back on my growing and therefore my stock list for 2026. I will be growing a smaller amount and less varieties for the year ahead. As I am getting older, I realise I cannot do the work I once did as a young man. I am sorry to anyone who feels they will miss out on young plants, but it is now time for the younger growers to step up and meet demand.

I have decided I will only post blanch leeks and onions this January and February. Anyone needing Pot Leeks will still be able to collect but it must be collection only from my garden in Gateshead. Due to the smaller amount, you will need to book early to avoid disappointment as once my stock is gone, there will be no more. I will still cater for clubs needing 100+ leeks in 1 or 2 litre pots but these MUST be pre-ordered.

My available stock is now available to order online and all online orders will be posted in January. Anything in 7cm pots or above MUST be collected.

Many thanks
John

Hi Everyone

Most plants are now out of stock. I have updated my website to reflect this but I do still have a small selection left so if you still want to place an order, contact my mobile on 07739647166 to see what is in stock and arrange collection.

In the meantime follow my tiktok @growyourownveg and my youtube which is Gardening with John Soulsby to get some hints and tips.

Thanks
John

Hi All

I have stopped taking postal orders for now until I catch up with present orders. All collection orders still available. Please make an appointment to collect.

Thanks

Hi All

Sorry there are no onion seeds for sale this year but I hope to have a few young plants for posting.
All stock is looking very healthy on the heads, and I am confident that there will be sufficient to supply orders throughout January.

Please see the products available to order and give me a call with any questions on 07739647166.

Thanks
John

Sold out of everything for 2024. Next year’s stock is looking good already. Orders can be placed from October onwards for 2025 season.

The New King Charles Leek will be available from next year and will be in high demand.

Thank you all for your custom, I look forward to hearing from you next year.

Thanks
