Growing Guides

    RUCOLA

    A superb salad vegetable and a superior strain to the traditional type with leaves of a delicious rich spicy flavour.

    MIDNIGHT SUN

    Tightly curled leaves with a striking pink mid-vein. Can be grown at close spacing for successive cut and come again harvests of baby leaves for salads. Shows good hardiness and resistance to bolting.

    SUGAR ANN

    An ideal choice for stir fry dishes - or for those who simply love eating their peas raw! This very early and heavy cropping snap pea has succulent, fleshy, pale green pods with a great flavour. Pick young as mangetout, if desired.

    CHERRY FALLS

    (Determinate) Grow something different and really tasty in those hanging baskets and windowboxes. The gently cascading habit produces plenty of delicious 'cherry' tomatoes and it is earlier than most greenhouse varieties. Can be grown in the greenhouse or outdoors.
