    RED TIDE

    A hybrid red onion of excellent quality and storage capabilities, ideal for adding colour to salads.

    TUNDRA

    The hardiest cabbage and a great favourite with many customers. The attractive heads are ready in November, but will stand in good condition until required through to April. The crisp heads are full of flavour. Highly recommend!

    FOREMOST

    An old favourite, introduced over fifty years ago. The round, white-fleshed tubers are firm and waxy when young and retain their fine taste. New, boil, steam or saute.

    DOUCE PROVENCE

    Best described as a sweeter version of Feltham First, this French variety is not as high yielding, although it may be sown in autumn or spring and needs virtually no support. An old variety, but well worth growing today. (Round seeded). Height: 45cm/18in.
