Growing Guides

• 

  WILD ROCKET

  A stronger variety than the normal sort of salad rocket with finely serrated leaves. A tasty 'cut and come again' rocket producing masses of attractive strong-flavoured wild rocket leaves. Ideal for salads or cooking, it can be harvested all summer.

• 

  TWEED

  British-bred and one of the first hybrid swedes, it is early and vigorous, producing uniformly round, purple shouldered roots with a delicious, cream-coloured flesh. Performs better than other swedes on less fertile soils.

• 

  AQUILES

  Can be over-wintered if desired for an extra early crop of top class, tightly domed heads. Aquiles F1 can also be planted closer together than many other varieties, making the most of garden space. Once the central head is cut, delicious smaller side shoots are produced.

  PARIS SILVERSKIN

  Paris Silverskin are an easy to grow, dual purpose onion. If you like a good size bulb on "spring" onions pull them young or leave to mature and crop as small onions for pickling. This way they can be pickled for use in summer salads or added whole to winter stews. Delicious!
