Leek plant Collection

£7.99 per 30 each of 2 varieties

Grow our two varieties of leeks for up to eight months' supply of this delicious and versatile vegetable. Both Carlton F1 and Sultan F1 will stand in good condition for many weeks, needing only to be lifted as required. They are outstanding varieties, which we thoroughly recommend.

Why not order an extra pack to lift young in summer as extra succulent and tasty baby leeks? They are superb for adding to stir fry dishes, salads or steamed for a few minutes and served with a cheese sauce.

Carlton F1 This early variety is ready from August, but will stand until October if required. The stems are long, with a good length of white. There is little waste and no 'bulbing' with this excellent hybrid.

Sultan F1 Takes over from Carlton F1 in November and its slender, dense shanks can be pulled right through to March. High yielding and with a fine flavour, the plants have white tip and rust resistance.

Lettuce Plant Collection

£5.95 per 5 plants of 5 different varieties

Even if you have no vegetable garden, why not grow your own lovely lettuces in patio containers or growing bags? Our carefully chosen range ensures you will have an interesting range of salad leaves with different colours, textures, sizes and shapes. They will grow quickly to keep you supplied throughout the summer.

Counter A larger cos lettuce than Little Gem Pearl, this 'romaine' lettuce has a crisp texture and a great flavour.

Little Gem Pearl We all love Little Gem cos lettuce, but this superb selection is even better! Tight little heads are just packed with sweetness and succulence. Simply mouthwatering.

Delicato This bronze/purple looseleaf lettuce is a real stunner in the salad bowl - and so versatile! Pick as baby leaves, when you 'cut-and-come-again' or leave to develop into larger plants. Either way, it is delicious.

Balmoral This top class iceberg (crisphead) lettuce produces good sized, densely packed heads with a great texture and flavour. The plants are slow to bolt and have very good resistance to mildew.

Sunny This great little butterhead has been a favourite for many years. Its compact, soft hearts are so sweet and tasty.

Onion Set Collection

£6.85 per 250g x3 different varieties

No kitchen garden is complete without its onions, garlic and shallots and we offer some of the very best of each. Growing onions from sets (immature bulbs) is a sure-fire way of having a fine crop next summer, which can then be stored for several months. They mature quicker than seed-raised onions and are less demanding in their requirements, making them a great choice for both experienced and new vegetable gardeners. A 250gm pack contains around 80 sets for planting.

Hercules A superb new variety which gives high yields of almost spherical bulbs with rich, golden skins and firm, well flavoured flesh. Hercules shows very good resistance to bolting and will keep for several months. We thoroughly recommend this outstanding strain.

Setton An improvement on Sturon, the bulbs are slighter flatter and it matures a few days later, but Setton gives a heavier yield of onions which store a little better. Golden skinned and a good keeper, this is also a good variety to choose for showing.

Sturon A reliable and consistent performer, the fairly large, straw coloured bulbs have a good flavour and will keep well.

Patio Collection

£5.95 per 1 plant of 5 different varieties

We have carefully chosen this range for its ability to crop well (and to look good!) in patio containers. They can also be grown in a warm, sheltered spot in the main garden, if you wish. Either way, they are easy to grow and manage and will provide you with plenty for the salad bowl through the summer.

Aubergine Ophelia F1 Expect plenty of shiny, dark purple 'baby' fruits from this compact and high yielding aubergine. Essential in moussaka and great as part of a platter of roasted vegetables.

Cucumber Bush Champion F1 The plants remain bushy and compact, giving good crops of long, bright green fruits with a lovely crisp texture and 'proper' cucumber taste. The plants have resistance to mosaic virus.

Pepper (Sweet) Orange Baby F1 Really ornamental, these neat, compact plants become adorned with mini sweet peppers with a great flavour. Perfect for popping into salads or stir fry dishes.

Pepper (Hot) Super Chilli F1 How about up to 300 really hot chilli peppers from just one plant? It's possible with this high class variety which bears its fiery crop on compact, slightly spreading plants.

Tomato Tumbler F1 For hanging baskets, window boxes and patio pots, this takes some beating! The sweet, juicy early tomato has relatively large cherry fruits. Highly recommended, for outdoors only. Does not require staking or side shooting.
