Growing Guides

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.
GUARDSMAN

A very vigorous development of salad onions. Upright, good looking and winter hardy, it produces a good length of 'white'. Suitable for both autumn and spring sowing, it is slow to bolt and resistant to white rot.
ASTERIX

Asterix F1 is an early high yielding hybrid variety forming large round bulbs which store well from an autumn harvest. It benefits from a good resistance to bolting and is very resistant to disease.
ELEPHANT

Not a true member of the garlic family but closer to a leek, these bulbs have a fresh, mild and sweet flavour. Each bulb is approximately 10-15cm across. Elephant garlic is best planted in the autumn for maximum size.
