Where to buy vegetable seedlings online
.Buying plug plants is the key to easy vegetable growing as veg seedlings already started cut out a lot of the tricky stuff that can put off a novice grower. New gardeners who haven't tried vegetable growing before get caught out as many plants like tomatoes, celery, leeks and peppers need to be sown early in the year, long before you would think it's warm enough to do so. You need equipment to start off seedlings early like propagators and heat benches so why not save yourself a headache and the expense and let us supply them for you.
We supply a broad range of ready to plant vegetable seedlings which are typically 4-6 weeks old when you receive them. We grow organically without using any chemical fertilizers and try to produce the healthiest 'plug' plants as naturally as possible.
A little about how we grow our seedlings All seeds used in our seedling range are from our seed collection which has been chosen by Irish vegetable growing expert, Klaus Laitenberger. The seeds have been chosen for their suitability to the Irish climate and ensure you have the best chance of producing top class vegetables straight out of the box. All seeds are non GMO and non chemically treated.
We use organic certified compost and don't use any chemical feeds or pest control to artificially enhance our seedlings. The only feed they get to strengthen the plant is a natural Irish produced seaweed feed.
All our pants are produced in our nurseries by our own staff, this is important to us as we know what happens to the plants every step of the way.
The seedlings we supply are grown the way we'd grow them for our own gardens meaning we're a bit hard on them. Many suppliers will produce plants which look great on the shelves but have had a pampered existence and will not be hardy enough for outdoor planting. At Quickcrop we harden off our plants meaning we slowly get them used to outside temperatures so they have the best chance of survival when planted out in your garden.
