Growing Guides

CHIARINO

Known as finocchio in Italy, where it is widely used in many recipes (try it braised in milk or cream), this fast-growing strain yields large, tight, white 'bulbs' with the aniseed flavour which is the hallmark of Florence fennel. The foliage is delightful added to salads.
COBRA (Climbing)

Extremely heavy cropping variety producing masses of round, stringless beans each about 7 inches long. Cobra is a climbing French bean producing crops continuously over a long period.
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.
TWEED

British-bred and one of the first hybrid swedes, it is early and vigorous, producing uniformly round, purple shouldered roots with a delicious, cream-coloured flesh. Performs better than other swedes on less fertile soils.
