    TUMBLING TOM RED

    (Determinate) A great choice for hanging baskets and other containers, the plants remain reasonably compact and yield masses of really sweet cherry tomatoes. Can be grown in the greenhouse or outdoors.

    COUNTRY TASTE

    (Indeterminate) A really meaty, beefsteak tomato. The fruits have a full, rich flavour and can each weigh up to 450g/1lb. The plants are notably disease resistant. Can be grown in the greenhouse or outdoors.

    SENIOR

    A very late, vigorous maincrop, but it will stay in good condition in the garden through until the following May. The long, cylindrical roots tolerate powdery mildew and alternaria.

    SUGAR SNAP

    Three peas for the price of one! Pick very young as mangetout, maturing pods can be picked and cooked whole like French beans, or leave until mature and shell them like 'normal' peas. Really tasty however you choose to eat them.
