Grow Your Own
Vegetables
What could be nicer than harvesting your own vegetables and taking them straight into the kitchen to be eaten fresh!
We generally have a good range of vegetable seeds available for those who want to ‘grow their own’ from scratch and we also have plug plants grown at Ashbrook ready at the appropriate season for planting, not forgetting seed potatoes and tomatoes.
Shallots, garlic, onions, asparagus and rhubarb are also available.
Herbs
We grow a wide range of herbs at Ashbrook including everyday favourites such as parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme!
Others include bay, fennel, chives, lemon balm and various mints, hyssop, rue, pennyroyal, winter savoury, horseradish, fennel and dill.
All are hardy varieties suitable for growing outside, basil and coriander are best kept indoors on the windowsill or in a conservatory or greenhouse.
Mixed herb planters are also available.
Fruit Trees
Most of our Fruit trees come from Frank P Matthews, a well regarded nursery in Tenbury Wells. There are a great many options when it comes to fruit trees, so if you aren’t sure what is best for you, come into Ashbrook for a chat – we will be able to let you know what is available and which rootstock will suit your situation. We generally stock a range of varieties which are selected for good performance in Scotland, but can can usually source specific requests.
Staples on our tree lines include eating, cooker/eater and cooking apples, pears, plums and cherries on both dwarf and standard rootstock.
son – they are good to plant in the autumn, but it has been found that potted plums may not do well over winter if planted too late in the season. We will be getting a full range later this spring once growth has started. Hazels also available.
Soft Fruit
We offer a wide selection of soft fruit from gooseberries and blackcurrants to strawberries, and blueberries, as well as various more unusual varieties.
Soft fruit is very expensive in the supermarkets, so if you can grow your own crop, it’s sure to save you money as well as satisfying your taste buds! If you have a surplus, get out your jam pan and make some preserves, or just freeze for later.
