    DELINEL

    This is an outstanding variety for both crop yield and flavour producing beans about 6 inches long. Delinel is a dwarf French bean that crops continuously over a long period.

    SHERWOOD F1

    This outstanding mid to late summer cabbage has solid heads usually weighing around 2lb. Tightly wrapped and with a small core, its flavour is remarkably sweet and the heads stay in good condition for weeks.

    SENIOR

    A very late, vigorous maincrop, but it will stay in good condition in the garden through until the following May. The long, cylindrical roots tolerate powdery mildew and alternaria.

    CARCASSONNE

    (Hard neck) Carcassonne Wight is an exceptional, pink cloved hardneck variety showing great vigour in the UK climate. Good skin cover, great strength and carry through coupled with superior (in our opinion!) bouquet and character.
