Growing Guides

• 

  LADY DI

  Red Flowered. Because the seeds develop only slowly in the beans, this delicious, stringless variety can be picked over a long period with no loss of quality or texture. Excellent for both the kitchen and the show bench, Lady Di also has good heat tolerance.

• 

  CLAPTON

  Club root a problem? Not with Clapton F1, which is resistant. This late summer cropper gives heavy, dense, very white heads of superb quality and flavour. A real breakthrough.

• 

  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.

• 

  WILD ROCKET

  A stronger variety than the normal sort of salad rocket with finely serrated leaves. A tasty 'cut and come again' rocket producing masses of attractive strong-flavoured wild rocket leaves. Ideal for salads or cooking, it can be harvested all summer.
