DT Brown Seeds

D.T. Brown seed packets — vegetables, flowers and herbs, in packet sizes that suit a home patch rather than a paddock.

The vegetable side runs from Grosse Lisse tomatoes, Red Cherry tomatoes and Queensland Blue pumpkin through to butternut, silverbeet, rocket, radish, celery, cucumber, spring onion, shallot, okra, and iceberg, All Year and mixed salad lettuce. Herbs cover sweet basil, curled and Italian parsley, coriander, dill, oregano, thyme and peppermint. The flower packets are the ones people underestimate — cottage garden mixture, Swan River daisy, snapdragon, marigold, zinnia, alyssum, nasturtium and an Australian Native Flower Mix.

There is cat grass in here as well, which is not for the garden at all.

Frosts around Strathalbyn decide a lot about when these go in. Ask us what is worth sowing this month before you buy a packet that has to sit in a drawer until next season.

Lawn seed and the wider range are in Seeds. Fertiliser and plant food are in Garden Products.
