One of the few quinces to thrive in the UK, it produces large, highly fragrant, pear-shaped golden fruits which are ready in October. Very decorative fan trained against a wall, the fruits are often added to apples for pies or made into a delicious jelly. While quinces are very hardy they do appreciate long warm summers and are best grown in a sheltered position. Self fertile.
This Italian strain produces heads rather like iceberg lettuces, but it has a more robust, slightly bitter flavour. A really valuable and colourful addition to late autumn and winter salads.
The skins may be virtually black, but the crisp, tasty flesh is pure white. An unusual addition to the salad bowl, this is a very old variety well worth growing.
Equally good when autumn-sown. We have blended Pink Beauty, Cherry Belle, Long White Icicle and Sparkler.
Like a super-charged French Breakfast, its hybrid vigour ensures rapid growth of tasty, crunchy roots. Very good for extra early or late crops with a little protection.
Ever popular, this red radish, tipped with white, is crisp and has a mild flavour.
A great looking and great tasting globe radish, the red roots are tipped with white. Very good for early crops in the greenhouse and a reliable performer outdoors. Highly recommended.
These long, red, mildly spicy roots are eaten as a snack accompaniment to a glass of beer in Germany, served sliced with a little salt. They are also excellent in salads and have a fine, crunchy texture.
A superb Scarlet Globe type hybrid, the fast growing, light red roots have a good flavour and splendid texture. Tip-top quality.
A giant white 'mooli' which can be eaten raw or cooked. The roots can reach 30cm/12in and they have both a mild flavour and crisp texture. Slow to bolt.
Milder tasting than many and slow to turn woody, this pink, globe-shaped variety adds a different colour to the salad bowl.
The classic spherical radish. Has a lovely flavour and retains its crispness well. Deservedly popular.
Like a cross between French Breakfast and Scarlet Globe, this reliable variety is really tasty and fast growing.
A sport of the famed Autumn Bliss, we believe the large, golden yellow berries of Allgold are sweeter than and superior to those of its parent. An outstanding autumn cropper, it is truly delicious and any surplus (unlikely due to irresistibility!) can be frozen.
Resistant to strains 1-4 of the large raspberry aphid, root rot and Verticillim wilt, this variety is ideal for using the minimum of chemicals. Cropping from late August into early September, the upright, sprine-free canes yield long, conical berries with a bright colour and good flavour
This productive and vigorous variety has a similar cropping season to Tulameen, but the fruits are up to 20% larger and a little firmer. Cascade Delight, bred in the USA, shows outstanding resistance to root rot, so is an ideal choice for wet areas, where other raspberries may have previously failed.
All seasons raspberry collection - Includes 6 each of Glen Moy, Glen Doll and Autumn Treasure.
