  SALAD BOWL GREEN

  This is the classic cut-and-come-again lettuce. Pick a few frilly leaves for your salads as required, or cut it whole as a mature, unhearted head. Either way, it not only looks attractive on the plate, but tastes delicious too. Forms large lime-green rosettes of delicate tender deep-notched oak-like leaves.

  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.

• 

  CASCADE

  A very reliable high quality 'Chantenay' type, ideal for cropping as baby carrots as well as using as main crop. The sweet tasty roots resist running to seed and they store well.

• 

  FLYAWAY

  The one to grow if carrot fly is a problem in your garden, for it has some resistance to this pest. Early, sweet, blunt-ended carrots of excellent colour and flavour.
