Growing Guides

    VICTORIA

    Victoria F1 is mid green colour, tall with fleshy petioles. One of the best flavoured celery varieties available which is self blanching, quick growing and has a good standing ability. Early to mid season production and will grow where it is traditionally difficult.

    TENDER AND TRUE

    Still a very popular long variety with very little core, noted for its lovely flavour. Large rooted, traditional type, an excellent parsnip with high quality tapering roots with some resistance to canker. Maturing time approximately 32-36 weeks from sowing.

    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.

    LITTLE MARVEL

    Introduced in 1900 and still as good as ever, this superb variety requires virtually no support and can even be grown under cloches for extra early crops of succulent peas. They seem to keep their sweetness and tenderness even when they become older.
