A recent development in runner beans, this variety features all the benefits of a good quality, white flowered variety coupled with some attributes of French beans. The result is a runner bean with good flavour and texture, plus the potential for self pollination. The pods are normally 30cm long.

A very bright coloured red/purple borecole, with frilly leaves. It can be harvested at the baby leaf stage or left to mature. Highly attractive, it can also be used as a foliage plant in the winter flower garden as seen on Gardeners World. They prefer a fertile, well drained soil, and can be planted out to follow beans, peas, lettuce and onions etc. Harvest from Nov to Apr picking the centre of the plant first as this will encourage side shoots to grow for further picking. Good winter hardiness.

A superb variety combining early cropping with uniform cylindrical button development. Very good standing ability, and uniform quality. Ideal for February sowings and autumn sown then over-wintered for transplant crops. Can be harvested from mid August onwards from an early sowing.

An attractive smooth pointed cabbage with a huge potential that hearts up well with an incredibly delicious sweet taste. It produces heads of approximately 400g of crisp crunchy leaves but, can grow up to 1Kg without losing flavour. Matures in about 75 days from sowing.

Bolivian Rainbow is a beautiful ornamental pepper with purple foliage and flowers, it bears a profusion of fruit in a rainbow of colours on tall 2ft to 3 ft. plants. The small cone-shaped, 1" fruits start out purple, but turn yellow to orange, and finally to red, with all colour stages on the plant at once! The very hot peppers are edible, but are mainly grown for their striking appearance.

Hybrid variety with a neat, attractive appearance and uniform habit. Medium white shanks of good size, and dark green foliage. Very little wastage. One of the best hybrid leek varieties currently available.

A specially designed blend based on two years of trial research to make a salad mix that stands out from the crowd. Selected varieties yield darker reds and greens even under low-light conditions. The ruffled edges and unique leaf shapes provide an interesting texture, good shelf life, and fancy appearance. Packet includes Green Oakleaf, Red Oakleaf, Green Romaine, Red Romaine, Lollo Rossa, and other Redleaf lettuces.

A well-balanced mixture of cutting lettuces including Australian Yellowleaf, Forellenschluss, Pablo, Red Velvet and at least four more other excellent varieties. Enjoy a colourful bouquet of lettuces at 40-45 days from seed. Sow continuously for a constant supply and best grown in full sun or partial shade.

Lovage a Mediterranean plant, is a beautiful hardy perennial herb belonging to Umbelliferae, the same family as angelica and carrot. A tall addition to the herb garden looking like giant celery, lovage is often placed at the back of the herbaceous border. Lovage seeds, leaves and stems have a similar flavour to celery and can be used in soups, salads and rice dishes and Lovage tea can be made from the dried leaves creating a very agreeable aroma.

Redmate is an excellent “duel purpose” variety of onion. It can be harvested early and eaten as a mild salad onion or, if l if thinned to 5” between plants and left to grow it will produce beautiful red coloured, mild flavoured bulbs. A very versatile onion with an intense colour (picture does not do it justice) and very popular with the hotel trade. These red stemmed "Spring Onions" add attraction to any salad plate.

Oca is a South American crop from the Andes very similar to a potato but without the pests and diseases associated with potatoes. The taste is like a slightly fibrous waxy potato with a hint of lemon and very palatable. The small tubers do not need peeling and may be eaten raw, steamed, boiled, mashed, fried or roasted making this a very versatile vegetable. The crop though is a late one with harvest from mid November to mid December depending on the frosts in your area. Harvesting is 2 weeks after the foliage has been destroyed by frosts and we found that protecting the crop from the first one or two early autumn frost with a tarpaulin extended the growing season and maximised the harvest.

Start the tubers off in heat under glass in early spring and grow on in pots until planting out in late May. The plant at first is quite tidy growing to 2ft tall as a small bush with small yellow flowers but later falls over covering a wide area of 1 to 2 metres wide so best grown alongside other crops that will have been already harvested by the time these plants spread out. Where the stems lay on the ground roots form and further tubers develop in October. We supply 6 to 9 tubers weighing 90gms.

These colourful Radishes make beautiful bunches in a mix of red, purple, and white. Maturing over an extended period of time, they also stay crisp and mild even when large. Great fun for children and adds extra colour to the salad plate.

This Thai Eggplant or aubergine is known in Thailand as Makhua Puang botanical name Solanum torvum. The fruits are in fact the small green pea sized berries which grow in large clusters. These berries turn yellow when fully ripe but are harvested for use when they are still green and is one of the main ingredients in Thai Green Curry. Makhua Puang are full of flavour but slightly bitter to taste so are not usually eaten on their own.

Enjoy the authentic taste and texture of pea aubergines in curries, stir fries or soups. This versatile ingredient can also be crushed and used to create delicious relishes or dips.

Exotic midnight blue kernels cover the small 2-4 inch ears of this unique variety. The plants produce several ears that are ideal for ornamental and craft use as well as an exotic popping corn. A real must for those growing ornamentals.

This cherry variety scored highly in our taste tests. Suitable for heated glasshouse production. Quick to mature, with fruits that store well once picked. Fruit: red, cherry, 14-16 grams. Resistant to Tomato Virus and Mildew.

This vining tomato is suitable for both glasshouse and outdoor production. It produces high yields of glossy 'strawberry' shaped, dark red fruit on long cascading trusses. The excellent sweet flavour and novel shape makes it ideal for childrens pack lunches, salads, and other fresh market uses. Early to ripen, firm texture for shipping and storage. Fruit: dark red, berry shaped, 15-20 grams.
