Growing Guides

  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.

• 

  EDAMAME SUMMER SHELL

  Edamame are the immature pods of soya beans, traditionally eaten whole in Asian cuisine - particularly in Japan where the boiled pods are served as a snack, sprinkled with rock salt and enjoyed with a cold beer! They are packed with protein, essential amino acids, calcium and vitamins. Easy to grow, reaching 60cm/2ft in height they don't require support and each pod will yield 3 seeds on average. DO NOT eat RAW beans or pods.

• 

  GLADIATOR

  Has rapidly established itself as a leading variety, which is no surprise. It has long tapering, wedge-shaped roots with smooth white skin. The roots have a really sweet flavour and are resistant to canker. It is quick to establish after germination and remains vigorous.

  UCHIKI KURI

  An onion-shaped squash with orange skin and flesh with a good flavour. Early to mature and a very good keeping variety.
