  GLADIATOR

  Has rapidly established itself as a leading variety, which is no surprise. It has long tapering, wedge-shaped roots with smooth white skin. The roots have a really sweet flavour and are resistant to canker. It is quick to establish after germination and remains vigorous.

  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.

  CASCADE F1

  This is the brussel sprout for Christmas lunch. Lovely, tasty, smooth, dark green, firm buttons cropping from November to February. Produced by a plant that is a sturdy choice for exposed sites and is hardy throughout the UK.

  CINDERELLA

  This centuries-old French heirloom pumpkin looks just like the coach in the fairy tale Cinderella. The glowing orange color contrasts magically with the very pronounced lobes and flattened top. Tasty, orange flesh transforms pies and savory dishes. Each plant sends out 10 foot vines with up to 6 fruit as large as 15 inches across.
