  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.

  CLARION

  An outstanding, soft-leaved lettuce, producing tasty heads of medium size. Very good for both early and late sowings, it is virus-tolerant and resistant to 10 strains of mildew.

• 

  EXCEL

  The sweetest flavoured spring cabbage, its small heads are quite delicious. The flavour is perhaps better still when harvested as really young spring greens.

• 

  PORBELLA

  Produces heavy yields of sturdy, upright, pure white, thick stems with dark green leaves. Has excellent winter hardiness and can be lifted from October through to February.
