Bred as an improvement to the popular 'Onward' pea variety, this excellent maincrop type produces high yields of juicy, plump marrowfat peas, each pod containing up to 9 dark green peas. The plants' compact and robust habit makes them ideal for exposed locations and smaller gardens.

It is also a great choice for introducing children to gardening as the peas are so good to eat raw when picked straight from the plant. Not only tasty, these succulent peas are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and fibre, having particularly high levels of vitamin C. When frozen, the peas will retain good nutritional values. Supplied as a packet of 325 (approx.) seeds ready to sow outdoors from March to June directly into their cropping position. They will tolerate most soil types but will do best in neutral ph, deeply dug, fertilised soil.

Everyone loves fresh Rhubarb in their garden, and it's one of the easiest things to grow on a kitchen garden. But, it has one drawback - it throws masses of lovely succulent new stems in Spring for a Month, then that's pretty much it...... feast and famine.

Now, we are pleased to introduce a very special British bred variety called 'Livingstone' - which is a day-neutral variety so eliminates this Summer dormancy - this means it produces stems in Spring, but then keeps on going into Summer with bigger crops again in Autumn - giving a bountiful supply for 6 Months or more. The flavour is good and sweet, and is a very easy to grow and long lasting plant - the crown will slowly expand over many years producing more and more 'stocks' for you to harvest. One for the shopping list!
