    RED BARON

    The very best red globe onion, it has a rich and uniform skin colour and a really old fashioned, strong onion flavour. Red Baron is also a wonderful keeper and popular on the show bench.

    SWEET BELL

    A truly unique turnip, with an exquisite flavour which can be likened to a melon. It is very juicy and tastes equally good sliced or grated in a salad or lightly steamed and served hot.

    MASHED POTATO

    The plants are vigorous in growth, producing on average 5-6 fruits per plants. The bright white squashes hold their colour well and has soft buttery flesh which can be roasted and mashed for a delicious, low calorie alternative to potatoes.

    An outstanding summer/autumn cauliflower, the vigorous plants are early to produce smooth, white heads up to 1.2kg. The large leaves give the curds plenty of protection.
