Sweet Pepper 'Lesya'
A very tasty sweet pepper with lipstick-red, heart-shaped fruits. Lesya is often touted as being one of the sweetest peppers around, we're a little dubious of the title, but what we will say is that Lesya reliably produces very tasty peppers with thick flesh, thin skins and rich flavour. And they're very popular with kids. Despite their compact size, these plants don't take well to being grown in pots. Sow: Valentines day to end March, with heat (25C) Harvest: July-September Kitchen: Pairs with savoury (olives, bacon, cured pork), aromatic (parsley, coriander, oregano, ginger), spicy (paprika, cumin, cinnamon), fats (avocado, soft cheese, eggs). Notes: Grow in greenhouse or similar. Stake plants using a tripod method - they don't get very tall but branches are liable to snap under the weight of their fruit. Capsicum annuum Approx 20 seeds. We pack seeds by weight, the number of seeds in a packet is an estimate. Germ Rate: 78% Oct 25

Helichrysum 'Fireball' | Strawflower
Large double strawflowers with papery, burnt orange petals around a cheery yellow center. A perfect addition to warm autumnal arrangements.

Parsnip 'Thrupp'
Thrupp is a very special parsnip and an example of the wonders that can come out of community seed saving. This genetically diverse, modern-landrace parsnip was originally bred by Amanda Godber at an allotment site in Stroud, Thrupp has been stewarded by Down to Earth Stroud and the Stroud Community Seed Bank for years. It was brought to my attention by seed steward Dan Fox of Two Acre Farm in the Mendips. Dan has put lots of work into trialling, selecting and adapting the parsnip and the seed offered here has been grown on his farm. He describes them as 'proper parsnips' with very little forking - a very rare variety which is strongly adapted to the South West climate. 1g (approx 200 seeds). We pack seeds by weight, the number of seeds in a packet is an estimate. Pastinaca sativa
