Dig your dinner
Helpful Tools
The vegetables may be knobbly, they may be strangely shaped, but it makes sense to protect our heritage produce.
The DIG YOUR DINNER campaign is encouraging everyone to help preserve our vegetable diversity by growing forgotten varieties.
There are the great taste benefits to growing your own organic food. Whether it’s on the windowsill, in a patio pot or a vegetable plot, everyone can have a go at growing
Supported by Kim Wilde and Raymond Blanc, the campaign will help save great tasting, endangered British vegetables for future generations by donating 1% of sales to Garden Organic. Garden Organic is the charity which safeguards a collection of over 800 seeds facing extinction in its heritage seed library.
The seeds and vegetables
Here are a few of Garden Organic’s tasty varieties from their seed collection
My girl tomato
Medium to large, thin-skinned tomato that is very sweet in taste. It is plum-shaped and has few seeds.
Jeyes pea
Sweet, solid peas that are delicious fresh, but also freeze well.
White Belgian carrots
Pure white, except for the top poking above the soil, which is pale green. They grow 20-55cm long, and do well even in poor soils.
