Growing Guides

• 

  PURPLE RAIN

  This British bred hybrid will make a great addition to any plot or allotment. Bred for high yields of deeply coloured, tender and tasty spears. Plants show good heat tolerance and are slow to bolt, producing reliable crops over a long period. Easy to grow and can be sown little and often for a continuous crop from summer right into late autumn.

• 

  ST VALERY

  The exhibitor's carrot par excellence, it was introduced in the 1880s, but still takes some beating. A high yielding maincrop, the uniform roots have a splendid colour and very good flavour.

• 

  IGLOO

  Igloo Cauliflower is an early variety with good, clean, white heads. Specially bred for close planting to produce mini-cauliflowers or at wider spacing for larger heads.

• 

  SALAD BOWL GREEN

  This is the classic cut-and-come-again lettuce. Pick a few frilly leaves for your salads as required, or cut it whole as a mature, unhearted head. Either way, it not only looks attractive on the plate, but tastes delicious too. Forms large lime-green rosettes of delicate tender deep-notched oak-like leaves.
