Papaver nudicaule. The Iceland Poppy is a hardy short-lived perennial. It self sows easily so will last for years to come. The cup-shaped blooms have a texture like crepe paper and appear in a range of subdued pastel colours; apricot, gold, tangerine, and white. Sow Iceland Poppy seeds in early spring or late fall where they are to grow permanently. The flower stalks grow to around 30cm tall and are among the longest-lasting poppies as cut flowers. Use a candlestick to seal the cut stem to prolong them as cut flowers. They are highly attractive to bees. Plant in late fall or early spring. Poppy seeds need to be cold stratified to germinate. Poppies only need soil that is ordinary and moist, but well-drained. The seeds should not be planted deeply; they just need to be compressed into the soil, as they need light to germinate. The best method for planting is to mix one part seed with 5 parts sand and scatter over the prepared growing area. -

Buttercrunch is a real winner and always a favorite in our organic gardens. This is a butterhead type of lettuce with crisp, thick well-formed medium to dark green outer leaves which hides the buttery yellow-white heart. Buttercrunch has good resistance to bolting. For ultimate flavour and nutrition eat directly after picking. We found that all lettuce, especially our buttercrunch grows in moist rich organic compost. Spring lettuce is grown in sunny locations, while summer crops prefer light shade. Since lettuce is a cool-weather crop, sow the seed as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring then every two weeks thereafter to ensure a continuous supply. Sow seed about 3 mm deep. Head lettuce such as Buttercrunch should be thinned to 30 cm apart to provide ample nutrients and room for growth. An even supply of moisture during the entire growth period is imperative for success. Harvest head lettuce by cutting the head off at the base just below the lower leaves. -
