FIVE EASY TO GROW CROPS
1 BEETROOT BOLTARDY
A variety with round, purple roots that was launched in the 1980s, it is popular with seasoned veg growers due to its resistance to bolting – where they begin to flower, leaving little usable produce.
2 PEA HURST GREENSHAFT
Bred in Lincolnshire, this produces heavy crops of pods that each contain about ten sweet-tasting peas.
3 RADISH FRENCH BREAKFAST 3
Introduced in 1885, this radish has 2in long, torpedo-shaped red roots with white tips, pictured below, that have a sweet, mild flavour.
4 RUNNER BEAN MOONLIGHT
A reliable self-pollinating variety that produces white flowers followed by smoothskinned, 9in-long pods.
5 SALAD LEAVES ORIENTAL MIXED
A nice spicy blend of salad leaves, containing the likes of pak choi, mizuna, rocket and several types of mustard.
