There is something deliciously hearty about root vegetables, and we've assembled a collection of the best for you to grow yourself. All of these varieties hold a coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, so you can be sure that these are proven garden performers, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. Full of flavour and so fresh! Beetroot 'Boltardy' fabulously sweet and tender roots, this delicious variety is perfect for cooking - whether roasting or pickling, or for soups and salads. Not only tasty, it is good for you, too, being an excellent source of folate, with good levels of potassium and vitamin C. The green leaves and stems also make good, nutritious eating when harvested young, at about 5-8cm tall. Rich in iron and vitamins, they have a similar flavour to leafy veg such as spinach. 180 Seeds. Carrot 'Flyaway F1' an early cropping variety producing sturdy, blunt-ended roots, typically 12-15cm long, with a smooth skin and deep orange colour. Its deliciously sweet flavour is balanced with a tender but crunchy texture - great for eating raw or in stir-fries, or conventionally boiled, steamed or roasted to make the most of its superior flavour. 350 Seeds. Onion 'White Lisbon' a superb spring onion with a mild flavour and crisp bite when harvested young. Left to mature for a while longer, it will develop a stronger, more pungent flavour - equally delicious whether eaten raw in salads, slaws or potato salads, or added to stir-fries or other savoury dishes during the final stages of cooking. 650 Seeds. Parsnip 'Gladiator F1' a top-quality variety that produces long, wedge-shaped roots with smooth skin and clean white flesh, so they are easy to wash and require minimum peeling. They keep well in the ground to harvest over the growing season as required for the kitchen. Indeed, their fabulously sweet flavour is even better after the first frosts, which turn some of the starch into sugar. 200 Seeds.

These are all easy to grow outdoors and they're also happy in a green house. Supplied as 12 plug plants, ready to plant out when the danger of frost has passed, including 4 each of the follow varieties: Courgette 'Defender' - an enduring favourite and holder of a coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Defender' crops early and has a picking season that can be twice as long as other varieties, producing heavy crops of delicious and firm, mid-green courgettes. Harvest time is from July right through to October and the fruits should be picked when they're 10-15cm long. The plants will grow to 45cm high and 90cm wide. Tomato 'Buffalosteak' - a wonderful variety that will give you large and delicious fruit, full of flavour with rich and meaty flesh over a long season. This top-performing cordon tomato has been created using a technique similar to that used with fruit trees for generations - grafting a variety onto a strong, disease resistant rootstock to get the best of both. The result is a bumper crop of tasty, juicy tomatoes! Cropping from July until October, provide a sturdy support as 'Buffalosteak' can grow to 2m tall. Snack Cucumber 'Nimrod' - will produce bright yellow flowers followed by a bountiful harvest of small, delicious snack sized cucumbers that have bumpy deep green skins that are unusually thin, with pale green flesh that is crisp and refreshing to eat. A naturally trailing plant, grow it up a support where it will reach 3m in height. Pick regularly when young and tender between June and October to encourage more fruits over a longer period.
