Growing Guides

    OCTAVIOUS

    An outstanding green celery which produces thick, succulent, pale green stems of medium length and good flavour. The vigorous plants are high yielding and slow to bolt.

    SWEET BELL

    A truly unique turnip, with an exquisite flavour which can be likened to a melon. It is very juicy and tastes equally good sliced or grated in a salad or lightly steamed and served hot.

    LONGOR

    An excellent elongated banana-type variety with copper coloured skins and pink flesh. Each organic shallot yields 6-8 bulbs at harvest. Very easy to peel and slice. Great tasting sweet flavour! Harvest June-September.

    GOWRIE

    Resistant to both clubroot and powdery mildew, Gowrie is very winter hardy due to the high dry matter. Perfect to use throughout autumn and into the new year from October to late January. This purple-skinned variety has good, firm flesh with consistent colour and very good taste
