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. That's because all Rhubarb plants till now go dormant in Summer. 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!
Grow something really different this year and amaze your friends and family with homegrown pineapple guavas.Feijoa sellowiana ,Coolidge' is an evergreen shrub with attractive, grey-green, furry leaves, and exotic red flowers which are followed by juicy, sweetly aromatic, pineapple-flavoured fruits. Also known as Acca or the Pineapple Guava, the pink and red fluffy flowers appear in May and being self-fertile, produce their crop of edible, red-flushed green fruit without the need for a second tree (although productivity is improved with two). The most widely planted variety in California because of its productivity, 'Coolidge' is a self-fertile variety with a good flavor. Of Australian origin, the fruits are roughly egg-shaped and about 3 inches long with a waxy green skin and drop once they are ripe. Alternatively, you can pick them before they ripen and finish them indoors to prevent bruising. Hardy enough to grow in the UK climate, Feijowa is drought tolerant once established and can reach up to 4.5m (15ft) if left unpruned in a sheltered, sunny corner of the garden. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant up straight away.

With its stunning flowers that are the most gorgeous, rich rose pink with petals feather-edged in orangey red, 'Pink Impression' looks absolutely sublime. A very sturdy, tall tulip, it is ideal for creating a mass of warm, spring colour, and it looks great growing with orange and pink varieties. The huge, long lasting flowers and strong, straight stems make them perfect for cutting.
