    TUNDRA

    The hardiest cabbage and a great favourite with many customers. The attractive heads are ready in November, but will stand in good condition until required through to April. The crisp heads are full of flavour. Highly recommend!

    ALL THE YEAR ROUND

    A traditional favourite butterhead variety! Medium-sized butterhead (soft hearted) variety, which has great flavour and a lovely crisp texture. Plants are slow to bolt and with a long harvesting period.

    PERPETUAL SPINACH

    Worthwhile spinach-alternative which does not run to seed even on dry soils. High yields of large, dark, fleshy, tasty leaves produced over several months. Invaluable.

    PURPLE TOP MILAN

    The classic flat-rooted turnip. Produces reliable yields of medium sized roots. The white flesh is truly delicious and the leaves are great used as 'greens'.
