As ever, we have some new varieties for you to try next season.
To save you hunting through all the various pages, we've listed them all here:

Salad burnet is a useful perennial for out of season salads - we've always had a clump or two going ourselves, and have finally got round to growing enough seed to include it in the catalogue.

We're delighted to be able to offer a small number of packets of Magnum Bonum pea this year. We've carried out many years of pea trials, and this old variety really has an exceptional flavour. We've also managed to find space for a decent number of packets of two really excellent varieties of drying pea, Boddingtons, which has traditional grey-green seeds ideal for soups and mushy peas, and Latvian which has gorgeous brown-speckled seeds.

Feo de Rio Gordo was definitely a stand out variety in our last tomato trial for flavour and size - take a look at the picture on the tomatoes page next to Kate's (large) tea mug, and see what you think!
