|||
 |

A stunning red pointed cabbage to 2kg for summer and autumn production. A perfect salad cabbage as it is sweet and crisp but loses the fabulous colour with cooking. |
|||
 |

Our choice for a Red Cabbage, this one has very uniform, solid dark red heads on neat plants with few outside leaves. Stores extremely well. Suitable for close planting if space is limited. Crops from late September to October from a Spring sowing. |

Cauliflower
Graffiti F1 |
||
|
This stunning purple coloured cauliflower is a great improvement on the older purple types. The colour intensifies with exposure to light, so this eliminates the need to protect the curds. A sweet distinct flavour and stunning as a raw crudite, stir-fried or steamed. The purple colour is due to Anthocyanins - a good source of antioxidants. This cauliflower earned the RHS Award of Garden Merit. |
|||
 |
Cauliflower
Nautilus F1 |
||
|
A high quality variety with extra white deep curds. Also a vigorous hybrid even in cooler climates and useful for extended autumn crops. Sow Feb for cutting July to November. Remember the trick with cauliflowers is a really rich heavily manured vegetable plot as they will not do well on poor soil. |
|||
 |
Cauliflower
Navona F1 |
||
|
A Romanesco cauliflower producing a uniform crop of dark green, turreted curds with no bracts. It is a vigorous variety with good holding properties and was recently featured in the RHS magazine. |

Cauliflower
Sunset F1 |

One of the first orange varieties to become available. Performs best when used for September and October harvesting. Colour most pronounced when used for ‘baby’ selection, but the colour is still vibrant in full size heads. Small, compact cauliflower plant. |
|||
 |
Cauliflower
Trevi F1 |
||
|
A superb, attractive and unusual lime green cauliflower produced on strong, uniform plants with a semi-prostrate habit. Again excellent for crudites and a good contrast if mixed with Graffiti on the table. |
|||
 |

Red Giant is a Japanese leafy mustard. with high yields of red to dark purple tinted leaves that can be harvested as baby or full leaf.

Pak Choi (Brassica
rapa chinensis) |
||
|
Pak Choi deliciously spicy, pure white celery-like stalks are topped by green leaves. Each plant will have 10-14 stalks 8” to 10” long. Excellent raw or cooked. Pak Choi can be grown all year round, however, it grows best in the spring and the autumn and must be grown in fertile moist soil. Sow outside March - August, for continuous summer salads. If you want to grow some onto maturity, use thinnings for salads, until the plants have been thinned to about 9" and you will produce some nice plants for cooking ie: stir-fry or steaming. Sow under protection Feb - early April for spring crop and August - early October for autumn/winter crop. |
