    CHANTENAY RED CORED

    Recommended for producing baby chantenay carrots, approx 50mm/2in long - wonderful raw in salads or lightly boiled or steamed. Left, they will mature to produce 130-150mm long roots. The carrot has wide shoulders, is conical in shape with a stump end.

    SARPO MIRA

    This late maincrop produces a large yield of red, oval potatoes that can store for a long period of time in the right conditions. Potato Sarpo Mira is a great all-rounder for all culinary dishes with its flavoursome floury taste.

    TUNDRA

    The hardiest cabbage and a great favourite with many customers. The attractive heads are ready in November, but will stand in good condition until required through to April. The crisp heads are full of flavour. Highly recommend!

Peas

Jobs for this Month - May

  1. Harden off and begin planting out indoor raised seedlings; protect susceptible plants from slugs and snails.

  2. Sow french beans, runner beans, carrots, cabbages, beetroots and salad crops outdoors - protected with cloches or fleece if frosts threaten.

  3. Plant any remaining seed potatoes and earth-up shoots of growing potatoe plants.

  4. Tie in peas to sticks or canes; pinch out tips of early broad beans to discourage aphids.
