  ATLANTIC GIANT

  Try growing your own monster pumpkins! Pumpkin 'Dill's Atlantic Giant holds the Canadian and American records for size, with fruits weighing in at over 800 kg (1763lb). This spectacular variety will certainly impress the neighbours, but be sure to allow plenty of space for its long trailing stems.

  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!

• 

  BIG MAMA

  (Semi-determinate) Prolific crops of large plum shaped paste tomatoes. It can produce fruits up to 140g each. The skin will peel easily after par-boiling and the flesh is delicious used in soups, sauces and salsa dips. Can be grown in the greenhouse or outdoors.
