Growing Guides

    CAROUBY DE MAUSSANE

    The purple flowers of this tall growing pea will turn heads before it produces its crop of large, flat pods, which we believe are the tastiest of any 'mangetout' type. Best steamed for the very finest flavour.

    ARUNDEL F1

    The firm, fairly large buttons are packed tightly round the stem to give a high yield and, despite their size, are remarkably mild and sweet, with not a hint of bitterness. Plenty of really tasty sprouts from this exclusive early to mid-season, vigorous sprout.

    JANUARY KING

    A very popular variety, distinguished by its rather flat head and red-tinged outer leaves. Plants are very hardy and will tolerate even the worst of the winter weather. The flavour is also excellent.

    ONION DE PARIS

    Onion de Paris gives a delicious crop of small, rather flat, white-skinned bulbs which are perfect either for pickling or adding to casseroles or salads. It has a good, full flavour.
