    SUPER AQUADULCE

    Considered the best autumn sown broad bean as they can withstand the worst of winter weathers. The plants are compact and give an early crop of well filled pods. However if your planning to sow in spring then avoid this variety and choose one of the other varieties that are more tender and tasty.

    SNOW CROWN

    An outstanding summer/autumn cauliflower, the vigorous plants are early to produce smooth, white heads up to 1.2kg. The large leaves give the curds plenty of protection.

    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.

    WALCHEREN WINTER 3

    Winter Cropping - A most reliable and popular cauliflower, it comes through the harshest of winters to give good quality, deep white curds in March and April. Highly recommended.
