Growing Guides

    MONEY MAKER

    (Indeterminate) An old favourite that is easy to grow and gives a good crop of medium sized fruits with good flavour. Can be grown in the greenhouse or outdoors.

    LYON

    Produces heavy yields of long thick white stems that have a delicious flavour and are also good for the show bench. Has good winter hardiness for lifting from October through to December.

    SUPER AQUADULCE

    Considered the best autumn sown broad bean as they can withstand the worst of winter weathers. The plants are compact and give an early crop of well filled pods. However if your planning to sow in spring then avoid this variety and choose one of the other varieties that are more tender and tasty.

    COUNTRY TASTE

    (Indeterminate) A really meaty, beefsteak tomato. The fruits have a full, rich flavour and can each weigh up to 450g/1lb. The plants are notably disease resistant. Can be grown in the greenhouse or outdoors.
