Growing Guides

    SNOW CROWN

    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.

  • Image

    ARUNDEL F1

    The firm, fairly large buttons are packed tightly round the stem to give a high yield and, despite their size, are remarkably mild and sweet, with not a hint of bitterness. Plenty of really tasty sprouts from this exclusive early to mid-season, vigorous sprout.

  • Image

    EARLY ONWARD

    This East Anglian-bred favourite can crop up to a fortnight earlier than Onward. The low growing plants produce excellent yields of blunt-ended, dark green pods, full of peas and full of flavour.

  • Image

    OCTAVIOUS

    An outstanding green celery which produces thick, succulent, pale green stems of medium length and good flavour. The vigorous plants are high yielding and slow to bolt.

Peas

Jobs for this Month - May

  1. Harden off and begin planting out indoor raised seedlings; protect susceptible plants from slugs and snails.

  2. Sow french beans, runner beans, carrots, cabbages, beetroots and salad crops outdoors - protected with cloches or fleece if frosts threaten.

  3. Plant any remaining seed potatoes and earth-up shoots of growing potatoe plants.

  4. Tie in peas to sticks or canes; pinch out tips of early broad beans to discourage aphids.
