  JAGUAR

  British-bred and most reliable in UK conditions, Jaguar is an excellent variety with which to make successional sowings to secure a long-lasting supply of delicious peas. Its pods, which are produced in pairs, each hold up to nine peas. The plants are resistant to several common diseases, ensuring they remain healthy throughout their life.

  MINI MUNCH

  Small mini-sized cucumbers ideal for lunch boxes. An early all female hybrid of medium vigour with very little side branching. Bred for protected cropping producing multiple flowers and fruits per node. The 8-10cm (3-4") fruits are mid-green in colour, smooth, firm and crisp with an exceptionally good taste and flavour. Sets well even in cooler conditions. Long cropping period.

• 

  RED EPICURE

  Similar in taste to other broad beans but offering unusual red beans. The beans retain their colour if steamed but this is lost if even lightly boiled. If picked young and tender they are good enough to eat raw in salads.

  MINICOLE

  Autumn/Winter Cutting (Ball-Head) - Very popular because the rather small, oval heads stand in good condition for 12 weeks or more with no deterioration. Even better, it has a good flavour and is a good choice for smaller gardens or where space is limited.
