• 

  MARIS PIPER

  A reliable general purpose choice producing tubers that show good resistance to eelworm and are a national favourite. Great beginner variety. Colour - white. Shape - oval. Boil, steam, mash, chip, saute, bake or roast.

• 

  NANTES 5

  The classic early carrot, but equally good for 'little and often' sowings through several months. Produces blunt ended carrots with good uniform roots. The great colour, flavour and a crisp texture make this variety an excellent addition to summer salads.

• 

  SALAD BOWL GREEN

  This is the classic cut-and-come-again lettuce. Pick a few frilly leaves for your salads as required, or cut it whole as a mature, unhearted head. Either way, it not only looks attractive on the plate, but tastes delicious too. Forms large lime-green rosettes of delicate tender deep-notched oak-like leaves.

• 

  SNOW CROWN

  An outstanding summer/autumn cauliflower, the vigorous plants are early to produce smooth, white heads up to 1.2kg. The large leaves give the curds plenty of protection.
