    AUTUMN KING 2

    Is the popular choice for many gardeners due to its reliability. This heavy cropper produces carrots packed full of delicious flavour, which hold well in the ground without splitting.

    JAZZY

    As normal it has large yields of over 30 small, waxy tubers per plant when we harvested. Incredibly versatile, it's suitable for boiling or steaming and eating hot or cold, or for mashing and roasting. Packed with flavour, plants show good disease resistance and superb garden performance.

    SOLEISON

    Not only is this one of the most naturally healthy lettuces we know, but it produces impressive, dense hearts even with the minimum of attention. This home-grown 'iceberg' has a real lettuce flavour to complement its superbly succulent and crisp texture.
