Who We Are
Hello, my name is Annie and I’m from Weston-super-Mare. I’ve always loved getting out into nature, getting my hands dirty in the soil, checking out the mini beasts and propagating and growing plants with my mammy as a kid.
This passion has been lifelong, in varying degrees, culminating in the acquisition of a council allotment plot seven years ago (funnily enough, it coincided with the birth of my first born – almost like I needed a bit of a break from the constant mumming for a few hours!)
There’s such a joy to be had from growing from seed – sowing it, then watching the seedling pop out of the soil and shed its seed case as its leaves open up to the sun, potting it on to a bigger pot. Then to acclimatise them so that they’re ready to take the leap to the outdoors – to face weather, pests and all sorts of challenges after developing in a comfy seed tray!
Then you wait, months in some cases, for delicious fruition.
So, imagine when I found out that I didn’t have to wait months to enjoy tasty fresh greens, that the seedlings I was nurturing are full of nutritional value and also taste great in their own right. I had to find out more.
So, after months of research and trials, here I am on the internet talking about it while you read what I’ve written!
It’s been a learning curve, but I’m enjoying the challenge and I’m proud to now be able to offer up my new, er, offerings to you!
