Seeds of the MM Garden
What seeds work well with the MM Garden? Which ones are included in the shop and the app? And how should you sow, care for, and harvest them?
How do we select our MM-Seeds? We go for vegetables and herbs that grow quickly and easily. They also produce huge harvests in small spaces. In short: they work 100% perfectly with our system.
Vegetables that need expert care, take up a lot of space, or need a lot of time to grow? Not here.

So which seeds are in the shop (and also in the app)?
All the seeds we offer in the shop are also included in the app. That means that the app shows you exactly how to grow every kind of vegetable.
All our seed varieties are sold separately or can be purchased in affordable packs.

MM-Basis
These are the seeds no vegetable garden should be without:
The Basic seed bundle includes delicious sugar snaps, cute mini heads of lettuce, sturdy dino kale, essential basil, and red beets. Though with the beets, I mostly pick the leaves myself and am less keen on the beets themselves.
It also includes spicy arugola, tender leaf lettuce, and colourful chard. Add radishes, carrots, calendula petals, and a few French beans, and you can put the most beautiful salads on the table in no time.
Sugar snap 'Jessy': a low-growing sugar pea with deliciously crisp pods.
Spinach 'Nores type Viking': produces lovely large leaves and does not bolt quickly, so you can harvest from it for a long time. It handles cold well, but heat less well.

Mini butterhead lettuce 'Gele Gotte': fun little heads that fit nicely four to a square.
Dino kale 'Nero di Toscana': my favourite kale variety: super healthy, grows upright, and copes very well with frost.
Beetroot 'Monty RZ': beautiful round, deep-red beets that store well.
Arugola 'Gewone': rocket with a spicy, nutty taste. You can grow it almost all year round.
Chard 'Bright Lights': a colourful mix with red, orange, and yellow stems. Beautiful to look at, very productive, and very tasty.
Giant radish 'Riesenbutter': large, juicy radishes that grow as big as a ping-pong ball without turning pithy.
Carrot 'Jerada RZ': wonderfully crunchy with a rounded tip; 15 to 20 cm long.
Calendula 'Pacific Beauty': a useful companion plant. It improves the soil and helps keep harmful insects and soil nematodes away. The petals are edible.
Bush bean 'Record': tasty, tender French beans without strings.
Basil mix: a colourful selection of 4 basil varieties: lemon basil, cinnamon basil, Eastern red Dark Opal, and the familiar large-leaved Genovese basil.

Climbing veg seed bundle
No Makkelijke Moestuin without climbers.
Well, that is not completely true, of course: without a trellis you can still grow plenty of tasty vegetables in your garden box. But a trellis does make it much more fun.
Well, that is not completely true, of course: without a trellis you can still grow plenty of tasty vegetables in your garden box. But a trellis does make it much more fun.
The Climbing veg seed bundle contains 7 different vegetables that grow tall, so you plant them by a trellis. Pole beans and snow peas, for example: you can fit 8 in one square and harvest a lot from them.
It also includes vegetables that take up a lot of space without a trellis and become too big for a garden box, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkin, and climbing zucchini. On the trellis you can keep them nicely under control, the fruits stay clean, and picking is easy.
The 7 vegetable varieties for an edible trellis:
Climbing zucchini 'Black Forest F1': one of the few compact zucchini plants you can tie up along a trellis, so it also fits in a garden box. Produces lots of fruit.
Tomato 'Sweety': new. Produces long trusses of honey-sweet cherry tomatoes. Delicious.
Pole slicing bean 'Helda': delicious slicing beans with long, broad, flat pods.
Pole bean 'Neckarkonigin': a very productive French bean with long, tender, fleshy pods.
Snow pea 'Heraut': a strong and reliable variety that keeps growing for a long time and gives a huge harvest.
Baby pumpkin: produces pumpkins of around 15 to 20 cm, so it does very well on a trellis.
Snack cucumber 'Espenada RZ': this special variety grows quickly and produces fruit earlier and more abundantly than most cucumbers. That means you can even sow it in July.

Only as single seed packets:
We sell the rest of our seeds as single packets. I will start with 12 varieties that are all a bit special. Not the most common ones, and sometimes not the easiest, but definitely very tasty:
Corn salad 'Grote Noordhollandse': ideal for filling empty squares in autumn. Lettuce in winter and early spring.
Winter pea 'Feltham First': a tasty winter vegetable. Pick the young shoots for salads, smoothies, and stir-fries.
Butter bean 'Mirador': yellow French beans with a fantastic flavour. A low-growing variety with a high yield.
NZ spinach: the leaves of this plant taste like spinach and it grows vigorously in summer.
Indian cress: one of the best companion plants for the vegetable garden. Bees and butterflies love it, and the plant draws harmful insects away from your other vegetables. The flowers, young leaves, and seeds are edible too.
Chioggia beetroot: these beets are beautifully striped red and white. They are a little sweeter than red beets, so they are also tasty raw in salads.
Liquorice mint: the whole plant is edible and tastes of aniseed and liquorice. From July onwards, the flowers attract lots of bees, bumblebees, and butterflies.
Purple carrots: unusual deep-purple carrots with a white core. Even healthier than orange carrots.
French radishes: long radishes with a white tip. They grow quickly and have a mild flavour.

Special lettuce varieties
In recent years we have sold 4 special lettuce varieties: the Salanovas. These varieties form large heads with a huge amount of leaves that are all the same size. They also bolt late, so you can harvest them for a long time and in large quantities:
Red Crispy lettuce: this Salanova lettuce grows quickly, bolts late, and produces lots of firm, frilled leaves that are all the same size.
Red butterhead lettuce: a tender, dark red butterhead lettuce. The heads grow quickly and you can harvest from them for a long time.
Green Batavia: green picking lettuce that grows quickly and bolts late. The heads produce lots of firm, frilled leaves that stay fairly small.
Oak leaf lettuce: this special oak leaf lettuce grows quickly, bolts late, and produces lots of lobed leaves: red-green and all the same size.
Red Crispy lettuce: this Salanova lettuce grows quickly, bolts late, and produces lots of firm, frilled leaves that are all the same size.

Every year we add a few varieties: ones we include after extensive testing with other MM gardeners, or varieties we sell temporarily. By now we sell more than 50 kinds of seeds.
Sunflower 'Henri Wilde': tall sunflower with several flowers per stem. Perfect for attracting bees.
Parsley: flat-leaf parsley, very tasty and stronger in flavour than ordinary curly parsley.
Yellow bush tomato: the plant grows only 30 to 45 cm tall, making it very suitable for pots and garden boxes. Produces masses of yellow cherry tomatoes.
Cilantro: this herb has a distinctive flavour you really have to love. It is widely used in curries and Asian soups.
Bush basil: has smaller leaves than the better-known large-leaved Genovese basil, but is just as tasty. It copes better with drought, heat, and slugs, so it is more suitable for outdoor growing.
Dill: this dill variety grows compactly, produces more leaves than the common type, and also flowers later.
Purple kale: this kale has a beautiful purple colour that deepens in cold weather. Lovely for brightening up your garden boxes in winter.
Endive 'Breedblad Volhart Winter': a fine old variety for autumn. It grows slowly and stands up well to cold, rough weather.
Asian salad mix: an easy-to-grow and fast-growing mix of Asian leafy greens. Unusual, spicy, and tasty.
Balcony tomato: produces tomatoes of about 5 to 7 cm with an old-fashioned flavour. It grows around 50 to 80 cm tall, so it fits well in an MM-Mini or on the back row of a garden box without a trellis.
African marigold: helps keep nematodes and harmful insects away, and attracts masses of bees.
Bok choi: delicious in Asian stir-fries. You can sow this variety both in spring and later in summer.
Spinach 'Nores' type Viking: harvest the small leaves or let the plants grow on so you can pick from them for a long time.
Winter purslane: tasty little plants with funny leaf saucers and white flowers. You can grow it all year round.
Baby broccoli: a compact broccoli variety that fits in one square. It gives a quicker and longer harvest than ordinary broccoli and has a milder flavour.
Chinese chives: a perennial chive variety with flat leaves that taste quite strongly of garlic. Ideal for salads, but also for warm dishes.

New in 2025:
Mini sunflower
This type gets many flower stems, so you can enjoy it for a long time. And because it stays quite low, it's perfect for a container without a climbing frame, or in an MM-mini.
