Plants Direct

Quickcrop now supply healthy trays of young vegetable plants delivered direct to your garden. Our plants are typically 4/6 weeks and have being hardened off outside so they are ready to go in to the ground when you receive them. There are a lot of advantages to planting seedlings direct in to the ground as opposed to from seed.
Here are just a few :

Beat the season -    by planting seedlings directly in to the ground in early May you will be 4/6 weeks ahead. This means in many cases you will be able to get two plantings in the year where before you only had one

Stronger Plants -    Because we have hardened off your new plants and they have been propagated in our nurseries they are going to be stronger in the ground.

Less Slug Damage – slugs particularly love seedlings just as they come out of the ground. Our seedlings are mature enough to withstand an overnight slug attack however slug protection is very much still advised.

Avoid seed failure-  all to often we plant our seeds in to the soil & they fail to germinate. This is usually because the soil hasn’t warmed up enough. With our seedlings even if you plant them a little bit early they will sit & wait for the soil to heat up avoiding missed crops.

Save Time -    In this busy world we live in lots of us just forget or don’t have the time to do our own propagation. So here’s the solution.

Weed Mix-ups -    Often we end up mixing up our garden weeds with newly germinated seeds just out of the ground. The reason for this is that weeds start to germinate at the same time as our new seeds. With planting from seedling you avoid this, as there is no mistaking your new Quickcrop seedlings when in the ground

No thinning Out -    As the plants have already been thinned out you are putting the plant in its final home so the time spent tending is far less. Allowing you time to spend on other gardening jobs.

More Flexibility -    As the Quickcrop young vegetable plants can sit in their trays for up to 3 weeks you can make the planting of them work around your time scale.
