    SPRING HERO

    The first and only ballhead spring cabbage, Spring Hero F1 is more than just a novelty. The large, heavy heads, which stand in good condition for weeks, are ideal for large households.

    HONEY BEAR

    We feel this may be the best tasting acorn squash you can grow. The 10cm (4in) fruits are just right as individual portions. They have a delightfully sweet flavour and are produced on compact, powdery mildew-resistant plants. Children will enjoy this variety.
