5 x climbing bean 'Helda'
- an early to medium variety, which keeps on producing high yields throughout the summer.
5 x mange tout 'Delikette'

5 x barlotti beans 'Borlotto Suprema'
- this beautiful, dwarf variety produces highly attractive red-flecked beans, with a delicious flavour, which can be eaten fresh or dried.
5 x courgette 'Ambassador'
- an outstanding courgette that is a pleaseure to grow and produces really high yields.
10 x garden peas 'Twinkle'
- an early variety of tasty peas, which is produces bumper crops. Great disease resistance.
5 x chilli pepper 'Padron'
- a mid to early season chilli with a mild flavour. They form on a medium sized, bushy plant that will thrive in a big container. The medium to long, flat, conical lightgreen fruits, turn red when ripe.
10 x beetroot 'Boston'
- Beetroot makes a really worthwhile autumn crop and this variety is one of the best. Pull them young as baby beets.
10 x spinach - 'Perpetual'
- succulent, prolific and very hardy, this spinach will hardly ever run to seed in its first season.
3 x pumpkin 'Atlantic Giant'
- a very large exhibition pumpkin, perfectly suited for Halloween.
Please note: The contents of this pack may vary slightly depending upon the season.
Garden care:
Plant them out as soon as they arrive in a sunny spot. Make sure they are kept well watered and feed with a liquid fertiliser that is high in potash throughout the growing season. You may need to provide growing supports for the taller plants.
