Subject to availability, we will then send out the samples that you would like to try. All we ask for in return is information on how it grows, yield, good and bad points, and photographs where possible. Cherry Falls Tomato: Great tasting, early maturing cherry tomatoes which are perfect for hanging baskets. A high yielding, determinate type with a bushy habit. Sow thinly, 0.5cm (") deep, in a pot of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20C (60-68F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Transplant to individual pots when 10-15cm (4-6") tall. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out May-June into fertile compost in patio tubs with drainage holes or baskets, when frosts are over. Harvest: July-October. Boldor (Yellow) Beet: Attractive round roots producing a distinctive orange flesh with yellow internal colour. Sow Mar to June outdoors, directly into the garden in shallow drills about 1cm ( ") deep. Days to germination: 7-14 days. Thin the plants to 3" apart as they grow. Prefers sun. Palace F1 Parsnip: Very vigorous, top quality, smoothskinned, wedge bayonet-shaped roots with good resistance to canker. Sow outdoors, late March to May, in drills 2.5cm (1) deep and 45cm (18) apart. Thin seedlings gradually until plants are 23cm (9) apart. Hoe regularly and keep soil moist. Harvest: October-February. The roots may be left in the ground until required, as frost will enhance the flavour. Organic Miami F1 Carrot: A versatile, consistent and reliable variety with vigorous early growth. Very

healthy upright foliage with strong, high quality cylindrical roots. Well-adapted as either an early or a main season carrot. Sow March June 1cm (1/2) deep in rows 15cm (6) apart for early bunching or 30cm (1ft) apart for maincrop carrots. Thin seedlings to 2.5cm (1) for early bunching or 8-15cm (3-5) for maincrop carrots. Divina Lettuce: Divina produces generous, wavyleaved heads approximately 500 grams in weight. Slow to bolt, resistance to tip-burn even in very hot conditions. Suitable for sowing Feb-Jun, harvesting May-Sep. Sow 1cm (1/2) deep directly in the soil thinning to 30cm (1ft) or alternatively sow indoors and transplant once all risk of frost has gone. Red Hawk F1 Beetroot: Tolerant to mildew and drought, resists running to seed. Outdoors: Sow thinly, March-July, where they are to crop, 2.5cm (1") deep. Allow 30cm (1') between rows. Thin seedlings to 10cm (4") apart. Water well until plants are established. Harvest: June-October. Parthenon F1 Broccoli: Parthenon is a vigorous stout plant that produces large heads of excellent quality in cold weather. Sow April to June direct at a depth of 13mm (1/2). Alternatively seeds can be started in seed trays and planted out 5-8 weeks later. Transfer plants to their final growing place when large enough to handle, allowing 60cm (24) between plants each way. Water well during spells of dry weather. Maturity 80-85 days after planting out. Ophelia F1 Aubergine: Throughout the summer this compact Aubergine produces an abundance of golf ball sized, baby aubergines. Indoors: Sow aubergine seeds from Early March to May or late March to April for outdoors. Sow seeds on the surface of a free draining, moist seed compost and cover with 6mm (0.25") layer of vermiculite or compost. Place in a propagator or seal the container inside a polythene bag at constant temperature of 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination which takes 10-14 days. When the seedlings are large enough to handle transplant them into 7.5cm (3") pots and grow on at a slightly reduced temperature. When all risk of frost is passed and the soil is warm, harden off and plant aubergines in their final positions. For indoor cultivation, pot on into larger containers or plant 2 aubergines per growbag. Outdoors, plant aubergines in rich fertile soil at a distance of 90cm (3') apart, in rows spaced 90-120cm (3-4') apart. Grow aubergines in a sheltered position in full sun. Planting through black plastic mulch will

help to warm the soil, control weeds and save moisture.
