Growing Guides

• 

  GREYHOUND

  An early maturing, pointed variety with very few loose outer leaves. Suitable for close spacings and successional sowings. An old variety with very good flavour.

• 

  ATLANTIC GIANT

  Try growing your own monster pumpkins! Pumpkin 'Dill's Atlantic Giant holds the Canadian and American records for size, with fruits weighing in at over 800 kg (1763lb). This spectacular variety will certainly impress the neighbours, but be sure to allow plenty of space for its long trailing stems.

• 

  DELIKATES

  A very tasty patty pan squash, which produces plenty of white-skinned fruits that can be treated like courgettes. If left to grow larger, hollow out the seed cavity and stuff with a favourite savoury filling and bake. The plants resist powdery mildew well, so stay productive longer.

  SCARLET GLOBE

  Scarlet Globe Radish is a favourite traditional variety giving lovely round roots of bright red and is suitable for early cropping under cloches. Has a lovely flavour and retains its crispness well.
