    ATENA POLKA

    A most attractive yellow fruited variety which is eye-catching both in the garden and on the plate. Very productive but without losing the same delicious flavour of green varieties.

    ONWARD

    A real old fashioned 'marrowfat', which has retained its great popularity through the years. Regarded by many as THE maincrop pea, the disease-resistant plants produce masses of blunt, dark green pods filled with large, tasty peas.

    CARCASSONNE

    (Hard neck) Carcassonne Wight is an exceptional, pink cloved hardneck variety showing great vigour in the UK climate. Good skin cover, great strength and carry through coupled with superior (in our opinion!) bouquet and character.

    KLIMARO

    An extremely versatile variety, Klimaro can harvested when small or grown large. It has a small core and fantastic internal colour and will stand well without going overmature. It has an excellent flavour, particularly suited to coleslaw.
