The ideal lunchbox snack, with optimum flavour, crunchy but juicy picked and eaten straight from the plant. Wash if necessary but no need to peel these 7cm (3) 'mini munch cukes'. Each plant is prolific fruiting if picked every other day throughout the summer.

Here's four 'highsugar' varieties to offer home-growers an attractive mix of fruits to brighten the veg patch and the dinner plate.
Upright habit with short, heavily textured leaves. Firm leaves sauté beautifully. Harvest October-April.
Compact cauliflower that's ideal for the smaller garden. It produces a solid, pure white curd head which is just the right size - 10cm (4in) diameter - to serve 2 people. Plants can also be planted closer together to produce smaller 'one person serving' heads. Good heat tolerance for summer transplanting.
Launched a couple of years ago to rave reviews. Now you can grow this tasty, mild flavoured variety yourself. We don't think there is a tastier Brussels Sprout on the market, try it and you'll be amazed by the 'no-bitter-after-taste' due to it's reduced mustard oil content.
Bred in the USA especially for growing in containers. Early to flower and set fruit. Harvest June-October.
Visually stunning when sliced into salads, Radish 'Bluemoon? is a unique F1 hybrid with blue skin and flesh. This appealing cultivar comes from Asian breeding as the blue counterpart to Radish 'Redmoon?. The cylindrical roots have a crisp texture and a refreshing, mild flavour that makes a great addition to stir fries. Like all radish, it is quick and easy to grow, and makes an excellent crop for containers, window boxes and greenhouse borders. Height: 15cm (6). Spread: 10cm (4).
