Full Product Description
Intro
The Slab of Seed is Sow Delicious’s original invention — handmade from organically enriched super‑soil and infused with pure Heirloom seed sourced from expert growers. Each slab is designed for easy spacing and planting, holding water up to three times longer than the soil it is planted in. Soil probiotics support strong root development and enhance the flavour and vitality of the harvest.
This Exotic Cucumbers slab grows three heirloom varieties: Ashley, Homemade Pickles, and Lemon. Each variety offers a distinct flavour profile and texture, suited to fresh eating, pickling, and bright summer dishes. Heirloom seed represents the oldest and purest seed lineage, preserved for stability, flavour, and true‑to‑type growth.
