Lettuce – Till (Organic)

Green variety forming a dense rosette of arrow-shaped leaves. Till seems to be quite a unique variety. Although officially loose-leaved, it forms a very dense head, with a texture similar to little gem.
If you like a lettuce big on crunch and fresh taste then Till might be the one for you. Leaves can be harvested cut-and-come-again style or whole heads can be harvested.

Daikon Radish (Organic)
£2.20 Read moreDaikon Radish (Organic)
This is a great variety of Daikon radish, also known as Mooli, for sowing in July and August producing long bright white roots which are crunchy and delicious. Its roots can grow huge – up to 3 inches in diameter! It is not too hot and stays very sweet and crunchy. It’s best left in the ground until needed. We have some disagreement on the best way to eat daikons; Fred likes to eat it raw and Ronja’s favourite way is to eat it fermented or pickled. Try both and see what works best for you!

Dwarf French beans – Borlotti (Organic)
£2.95 Read moreDwarf French beans – Borlotti (Organic)
Dwarf French bean with cream and pink dappled beans in pods that can be eaten fresh or dried.
This is a very versatile and strikingly beautiful bean. The immature pods can be eaten whole as green beans. When the pods change colour from green to cream and pink you can also shell and eat the beans inside. Or you leave them to mature fully and eat them then or dry and store.
Dwarf beans are good for growing in containers. They will generally grow about 45cm tall and crop slightly earlier than their climbing cousins.

Pepper – Yolo Wonder (Organic)

A proper bell pepper with thick flesh and excellent, mild flavour. Plants produce large green fruits which mature to red when fully ripe. A productive plant with a spread of about 60cm which is very suitable for British summers. I pick these green to encourage more fruiting and because the taste is just excellent, raw or cooked. – Guest description by our friend Dan from Chagfood CSA!

Chilli – Habanero Magnum (Organic)
£1.95 Read moreChilli – Habanero Magnum (Organic)
Bright orange, very hot and fruity, a variety that is productive and does better in cooler climates than most other chillies. Habanero Magnum rates between 200,000 and 325,000 SHU on the Scoville scale and is therefore on the hotter end of the spectrum. A fruity almost floral flavour can be tasted when the initial spice has faded. It is a great ingredient for hot sauces or when powdered. A way of controlling the heat when cooking with it is to make a couple of holes in the chilli and then add it to the sauce (or whatever it is your cooking) as a whole and remove after a certain amount of time determining the degree of fieriness.
