    AUTUMN KING 2

    Is the popular choice for many gardeners due to its reliability. This heavy cropper produces carrots packed full of delicious flavour, which hold well in the ground without splitting.

    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.

    TOM THUMB

    A much-loved lettuce producing delicious little butter-heads on fast growing plants. Grow under cloches for an extra early crop. It is also an excellent summer lettuce as it tolerates high temperatures and resists bolting better than larger varieties.
