Growing Guides

• 

  SWEET CANDLE

  This superb carrot is rapidly building up quite a reputation with exhibitors! Roots are very uniform, smooth-skinned and blunt-ended. Both internal and external colour are superb and the delicious, cylindrical roots are topped with strong, vigorous foliage.

• 

  MAZUR

  This lettuce is a loose leaf (non-hearting), green ?frisee? type with crisp, sweet and well textured leaves. It is a very attractive variety with an excellent shelf life once harvested and good resistance to tipburn and the downy mildew races.

• 

  MINICOLE

  Autumn/Winter Cutting (Ball-Head) - Very popular because the rather small, oval heads stand in good condition for 12 weeks or more with no deterioration. Even better, it has a good flavour and is a good choice for smaller gardens or where space is limited.

• 

  BORLOTTO

  An Italian variety whose green pods are liberally splashed with red, used as a conventional dwarf bean when young and tender or left to mature as 'haricots'.
