Growing Guides

• 

  SPARKLER

  Sparkler not only has a pretty name, but it also looks attractive on a salad plate, with its bright red round roots with a white tip. Like a cross between French Breakfast and Scarlet Globe, this reliable variety is fast growing. This variety boasts a delicous mild flavour and crisp flesh.

• 

  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.

• 

  CLAPTON

  Club root a problem? Not with Clapton F1, which is resistant. This late summer cropper gives heavy, dense, very white heads of superb quality and flavour. A real breakthrough.

• 

  OREGON SUGAR

  The standard tall growing mangetout pea, it gives high yields of slightly curved pods which are best picked just as the peas start to form. Sweet and utterly delicious.
