Growing Guides

ST VALERY

The exhibitor's carrot par excellence, it was introduced in the 1880s, but still takes some beating. A high yielding maincrop, the uniform roots have a splendid colour and very good flavour.
WILD ROCKET

A stronger variety than the normal sort of salad rocket with finely serrated leaves. A tasty 'cut and come again' rocket producing masses of attractive strong-flavoured wild rocket leaves. Ideal for salads or cooking, it can be harvested all summer.
FLYAWAY

The one to grow if carrot fly is a problem in your garden, for it has some resistance to this pest. Early, sweet, blunt-ended carrots of excellent colour and flavour.
MINICOLE

Autumn/Winter Cutting (Ball-Head) - Very popular because the rather small, oval heads stand in good condition for 12 weeks or more with no deterioration. Even better, it has a good flavour and is a good choice for smaller gardens or where space is limited.
