Growing Guides

• 

  HARRIER

  One of the quickest maturing varieties producing good yields of fruit in just over 3 months. Fruit have a sweet flesh and average 1kg in weight.

• 

  LITTLE GEM

  Britain's best loved lettuce, quick to mature and producing compact Cos type heads. Heads are a fine sweet flavour with a crisp and crunchy texture. Grows well under cloches and great for successional sowing.

• 

  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.

• 

  EARLIBIRD

  The earliest maturing 'Supersweet' variety (having 2-3 times the sugar level of ordinary varieties), producing superb quality, deliciously sweet cobs. Improved tolerance to cold soil aids germination.
