Red Onion 'Long Red Florence'
The sweetest onion in our catalogue with a rich flavour only found in homegrown onions. Long Red Florence is a very versatile Italian heirloom variety which can be cropped as quick-growing, bright purple salad onions or left to mature into elongated, red bulbs. The mature bulbs are so sweet and full-flavoured, delicious in salads or as a rich base for any dish. Sow in March - 3-5 seeds per modules a la Charles Dowding. Harvest fresh and you can use the stems too. Later harvests have a more pungent flavour. Not the best storage onion, best eaten within a couple of months of harvest.

Beetroot 'Cylindra'
Tall, elongated beetroot which resembles something a little bit rude. We like to sow them alongside faster-maturing globe types like Wintersonne. We harvest the globe beetroot first and leave Cylindra for autumn harvests and winter storage. It's our go-to for pickled beetroot because the elongated shape makes for beautifully even slices. Sow: April-July, can be sown in modules or direct Plant: 4 weeks after sowing. Harvest: June-October Kitchen: Roast or boil. Pairs well with spices (cinnamon, chili, cumin), acid (lemon, balsamic vinegar), fats (goats cheese, feta, walnuts, pinenuts, hazelnuts, pecans), salty (capers, olives), aromatics (mint, parsley, dill, fennel, thyme). Beta vulgaris 4g (approx 200 seeds). We pack seeds by weight, the number of seeds in a packet is an estimate.
