Growing Guides

    WALNUT

    Bred for the British climate to give improved yields and earlier maturity. Fruits have good flavour and reach weights of between 1.5kg and 2kg.

    MINICOLE

    Autumn/Winter Cutting (Ball-Head) - Very popular because the rather small, oval heads stand in good condition for 12 weeks or more with no deterioration. Even better, it has a good flavour and is a good choice for smaller gardens or where space is limited.

    SPRING HERO

    The first and only ballhead spring cabbage, Spring Hero F1 is more than just a novelty. The large, heavy heads, which stand in good condition for weeks, are ideal for large households.

    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.
