Cabbage ‘Tinty’ (Summer)
A green ‘baby pointed’ cabbage for autumn/winter cutting. It has a mild, sweet taste, ideally suited for shredding raw for autumn and winter salads, or used as a cooked vegetable.
Sweet Pea ‘Route 66’
Perfect perfume and masses of large bi-coloured red and white flowers. Cut blooms regularly for a vase indoors, throughout summer, and this vigorous variety will keep more and more flowers coming.
Antirrhinum majus ‘Circus Clowns’
This jolly mixture will brighten your garden! The attractive bicoloured blooms stand proud above rich green foliage. This medium height variety looks delightful planted en-masse in a sunny border or filling a large patio container, and the garden performance of ‘Circus Clowns’ is simply outstanding.

Zinnia marylandica ‘Double Zahara Strawberry’

Climbing Bean ‘Monte Cristo’
New breeding has produced this high-yielding variety. Tasty and tender pods, 25cm in length can simply be ‘topped and tailed’ and steamed. Fleshy, bright green pods remain stringless and crisp – even if you’re away for a weekend and not able to harvest your beans for a few days.
Carrot ‘Atomic Red’
A striking coral red-skinned and fleshed variety with 23-25cm (9- 10in) long roots. The rich colour is due to a high level of lycopene, a healthy antioxidant. The colour is more intense and the flavour deepens on cooking, although slicing or grating ‘Atomic Red’ raw in salads adds unique colour and flavour. Strong foliage aids
Swiss Chard ‘Green Wave’
Green Wave’ resembles a perpetual spinach beet, but is more productive and with more slender, milder-tasting stems and leaves, which are delicious in salads and stir fries when young. Use mature leaves in the same way as chard and spinach. Stands in good condition without bolting.
Begonia ‘Pink Showers’
Showers of petite, rose-pink single flowers with pretty yellow centres hang in delicate clusters against unusual maple-leaf foliage. Creates an outstanding and colourful display in baskets or window boxes where it will keep flowering well into the autumn
Sweet Pepper ‘Thor’ F1 Hybrid
