Growing Guides

• 

  MARATHON

  One of the most reliable and long cropping of summer broccolis with fine quality, tasty heads, its ability to do well in nearly all soils and its splendid disease resistances. It is possible to be cutting the heads from June right through until late autumn. An all round great performer!

  GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING

  The stalks of Golden Self Blanching are more yellow-green and not such a strong flavour as Giant White but a lot less work. This variety is ready from about August onwards, and as the name would suggest is a self blanching variety.

• 

  MARION

  This Nantes-type variety was given an Award of Garden Merit by the RHS in 2010. It's long, well coloured roots will stay in condition in the ground for several months and will over-winter successfully in some areas, providing tasty carrots for much of the year.

• 

  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.
