    TWEED

    British-bred and one of the first hybrid swedes, it is early and vigorous, producing uniformly round, purple shouldered roots with a delicious, cream-coloured flesh. Performs better than other swedes on less fertile soils.

    DUTCHMAN F1

    A deliciously sweet, small-headed pointed cabbage. It boasts excellent flavour, shows good resistance to white blister and holds well when mature. Ideal for growing at reduced spacing.

    LOLLA ROSSA

    The classic red-leaved, fringed cut-and come-again lettuce, it looks good growing in patio pots. A 'must' for the summer salad bowl. Pick whole heads or a few leaves at a time. It has great flavour too!
