Jekka’s Grow At Home Autumn Herb Kit
Description
Jekka’s grow at home autumn herb kit is all you need to start growing and using herbs for this autumn and winter; just add love and water. Perfect for children and adults alike.
At Jekka’s we believe herbs are the most wonderfully diverse and useful plants, coming in all shapes and sizes, textures, colours, perfumes and uses. Not only do they turn a meal into a feast but a simple herb infusion can ease tension and lift the spirits.
We wish everyone to enjoy herbs and have developed this kit as a good starting point. It contains Jekka’s special hand-mixed seedling compost as well as 5 packets of our seeds.

Seeds
Jekka’s grow at home herb kit contains the following 5 individual packets of culinary herb seeds:
-
Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium): a wonderful culinary herb with light green, feathery, slightly anise flavoured leaves.
- Coriander (Coriandrum sativum): one of the most used herbs. Both the leaves and ripe seeds are edible and they have two distinct flavours; the seeds are warmly aromatic and the leaves have an earthy pungency.
- Jekka’s Salad Herb Mix: one of Jekka’s salad mixes to make a tasty “cut and come again” crop.
- Lovage (Levisticum officinale): has a flavour reminiscent of celery and adds a meaty flavour to food. Older leaves can be used in stews, soups and stocks whilst the younger ones can be used in salads.
- Winter Purslane (Claytonia perfoliata): also known as miner’s lettuce, the whole plant is edible it tastes quite like spinach and is full of vitamin C.
