    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.

    SUNBURST

    A bright yellow-skinned Patty Pan type, this high yielding variety yields squashes with a fine flavour and texture. Rather ornamental when growing.

    EXCEL

    The sweetest flavoured spring cabbage, its small heads are quite delicious. The flavour is perhaps better still when harvested as really young spring greens.

    MUSSELBURGH

    A great Victorian variety that is still a favourite today. It produces thick short stems of very good flavour with medium green leaves. Is very hardy and can be lifted from October through to March.
