    POLAR BEAR

    This unusual, extra-large white pumpkin retains it colour well after maturity in the field. Ghostly white, it can grow up to 15kg in weight, making it suitable for carving and a real Halloween talking point! The deep orange flesh is delicious roasted.

    AILSA CRAIG

    Ailsa Craig produces large globe shaped bulbs with a mild flavour beneath golden straw coloured skin. This variety makes for a good exhibition onion but does not store for long periods and should be used in early winter.

    SWEET FLORENCE

    Sweet Florence is the old traditional variety which is best used for later summer sowings when bolting is not normally a problem. It has a fine flavour and the leaves can be used as a herb in fish dishes etc.

    SOYA FISKBY V

    An ideal selection for the cooler British climate with good vigour for a shorter growing season. Beans can remain on the plant until required or any surplus can be shelled and stored in an airtight container. The beans have an outstanding fresh flavour which pairs well with Japanese cooking.
