Here's a real novelty indoor plant that will provide interest every day as you see your own deliciously sweet pineapple develop atop this well-established, potted plant. A member of the Bromeliad family, it's the perfect indoor plant for a sunny kitchen or conservatory windowsill, needing little care and attention save a little water and the occasional feed. The plants are exactly the same as those used in commercial pineapple plantations across the world, so you can be assured of the best tasting fruit - right here in the UK on your windowsill. Do not confuse these big specimens with tiny decorative, non-edible plant available elsewhere online. Each plant is delivered with a pineapple fruit already growing so your plant is guaranteed to fruit this year. For best results water the compost keeping it moist and also keep a little water in the cups of the leaf rosette. When the pineapple is plump and ripe (about the size of an orange) remove and enjoy! Once the fruit is removed, an offset will appear which may fruit in following years and an entirely new plant can even be raised by cutting off the leaf crown and planting in compost.
Bananas have become very popular in the last few years, for their large architectural leaves as opposed to their fruit! The Red Abyssinian Banana is a relative newcomer, and brings with it a stunning colour addition - the huge paddle shaped leaves that can reach 75cm long in a season are heavily veined burgundy red, and in full sun the leaf edges have a very red tinge. Grow in large heavy pots for stability, in full sun and warm spots, and feed and water well in June-August when they grow quickly. Borderline hardy, so in late Autumn, allow leaves to die back and cut stem to 20cm tall, and bring somewhere frost free till following May. Keep dry, and new leaves should quickly emerge next year. Supplied as a 30-40cm tall plant in a 1L pot, ready to plant out. Please note that plants may a bit taller in summer when sent out as growth is rapid.

A strong early variety with straight, cylindrical blunt-ended roots and a very little core. Their strong tops make harvesting the roots easier. Early sowings need protection with cloches. Seedlings appear within 14-21 days of planting and if continuous crops are desirable sow every 2-3 weeks. When harvesting, select alternate young carrots from the row, allowing the remainder to develop fully. Keep well watered to prevent roots splitting. Root vegetables boast a host of colours and flavours and include carrots, radish, horseradish, sweet potato, turnip and beetroot. Their low rate of metabolism allows for a relatively long postharvest life. Thanks to their high water content, they are key ingredients for a low fat diet.
