Growing Guides

    FEMSPOT

    An old favourite, Femspot F1 is an early cropping, all female cucumber of superb quality, producing long, bitter free, ribbed cucumbers. These plants need heat to get the best results and are better suited to indoor growing in a greenhouse.

    CRISPUS F1

    This is an early to mid-season hybrid with good resistance to club foot. The brussel sprouts are smooth and dark green and are borne on tall plants that stand in good condition for several weeks. They have a wonderful flavour. Sow in spring for an autumn harvest.

    DUTCHMAN F1

    A deliciously sweet, small-headed pointed cabbage. It boasts excellent flavour, shows good resistance to white blister and holds well when mature. Ideal for growing at reduced spacing.

    ROCKET

    A very early, heavy-cropping variety. The pure white flesh is quite soft and waxy and delicious with mint and a knob of butter! New, boil, steam or saute.
