Next season at Max Gate we plan to grow mainly veg that would have been available and likely to be grown during Thomas Hardy's lifetime 1840 - 1928.
I've been making a list of varieties that date from the period along with a few likely species that would be available locally.
Collected some Sea Kale seeds as it's more than likely the forced shoots would have been grown as a delicacy.
Each pod contains a single seed, we only need a few plants for the garden, but i'll grow some on to sell to the public to raise money for the garden too.
Right time of year to collect the seed, before the winter storms have away with them.

It would be lovely to create other writer's gardens too
