    LITTLE GEM

    Britain's best loved lettuce, quick to mature and producing compact Cos type heads. Heads are a fine sweet flavour with a crisp and crunchy texture. Grows well under cloches and great for successional sowing.

    TROMBONE

    Slow growing, smooth leaf spinach with dark leaves. Has a good bolt tolerance and flexibity in sowing times at both ends of the season, making it ideal for home gardeners. Use as mature leaf or as baby leaf.

    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.
