Growing Guides

• 

  KELVEDON WONDER

  This great favourite reliably gives a good crop of well filled pods and peas of fine flavour. Plants are dwarf, making this an excellent choice for smaller gardens or for those wanting to grow in containers.

• 

  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.

• 

  TOM THUMB

  A much-loved lettuce producing delicious little butter-heads on fast growing plants. Grow under cloches for an extra early crop. It is also an excellent summer lettuce as it tolerates high temperatures and resists bolting better than larger varieties.

• 

  LOLLA ROSSA

  The classic red-leaved, fringed cut-and come-again lettuce, it looks good growing in patio pots. A 'must' for the summer salad bowl. Pick whole heads or a few leaves at a time. It has great flavour too!
