"This nearly fire-free habanero offers all the tasty tropicalflavour of a standard habanero, but without the burn. A fullyripe fruit is an amazing glowing orange colour and also has its most well-developed and complex flavour."Sow seed thinly on the surface of a good, free-draining compost. Cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 25-30°C (77-86°F) for up to 30 days. Reduce to 20°C (68°F) once germinated, maintaining a minimum of 15°C (59°F) after pricking out. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots.For Indoor Crops: Plant 2 plants per grow bag or individually into 20cm (8in) pots. For Outdoor Crops: Gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting 45cm (18in) apart in moist, well-drained fertile soil in a sunny position. Plant in final situation from early June once frost risk has passed and protect from biting winds. Feed weekly with tomato fertiliser once first fruits have set.

Plants have an upright habit and may require support.For Indoor Crops: Plant 2 plants per growbag or individually into 20cm (8in) pots or 2 litre pot. For optimum results grow under glass. For Outdoor Crops: Gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting one plant per 20cm (8in) or 2 litre pot, or a larger container on the patio. Plant in final position from early June when there is no further risk of frost and protect from biting winds. Feed plants weekly with a high potash tomato fertiliser once first fruits have set.Mix comprises: 33% WLS9670 (red), 33% WLS9675 (orange), 34% WLS9673 (yellow)

Place in a propagator or seal the container in a polythene bag and maintain at a temperature of 25?C (77?F) until after germination, which takes up to 14 days. Maintain a minimum temperature of 15?C (59°F) after pricking out and transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots.For Indoor Crops: Plant 2 plants per growbag or individually into 20cm (8in) pots or into 2 litre pots.

An excellent tried and tested variety, Parsnip White Gem has shown that it can be grown successfully in virtually all soil types. Parsnip White Gem also has a very good canker resistance which results in lots of fine, medium length, smooth skinned, high quality, fine flavoured parsnips.For long parsnips you need a deeply dug soil which has been manured for a previous crop. However, they will do well on ordinary well drained and cultivated soil. Sow seeds April to June, 1cm (½ inch) deep in drills 30cm (12 inches) apart. Sow clusters of 4 seeds every 20cm (8 inches) and thin out to the strongest seedlings after germination. Germination is very slow and it is helpful to sow a pinch of lettuce seeds between each cluster of seeds. They will mark the row and can be cut before the parsnips need the room.Germination is very slow and it is helpful to sow a pinch of lettuce seed between each cluster of seeds. They will mark the row and can be cut before the parsnips need the room. Harvest the roots from autumn onwards, leaving them in the ground until required

With a unique size and shape, Pumpkin ‘Baby Bear’ produces mini pumpkins weighing up to 1kg each. Whilst the flesh is excellent for pies, the seeds can be roasted for a snack. High yields and superior storage quality.SOWING INSTRUCTIONS: Sow seeds on their sides in small 7.5cm (3in) pots of seed compost at a depth of about 2.5cm (1in). Place them in a propagator or seal the pots inside a polythene bag at a temperature of 20°C (68°F) until germination, which takes 5-7 days. Once germinated, grow plants on for about 4 weeks until they are large enough to be transplanted outdoors.GROWING ON: Gradually acclimatise over 7-10 days before transplanting into warm, well-drained, humus-rich soil in full sun, with shelter from winds. Choose a spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sun per day and prepare the soil in advance, adding plenty of well-rotted manure or compost. Plant at a minimum of 120cm (4ft) apart between plants. Pile the soil into mounds about 15cm (6in) high. Plant each pumpkin plant on top of a mound to ensure good drainage and keep them well watered until they are established.Feed with a general fertiliser a few weeks after planting.

This Calor gas bottle is normally used for smaller blow heaters and other mid-sized appliances that use high volumes of gas and use a screw-in propane regulator. They're also commonly used by scout groups when away camping for longer periods of time, due to the economics of buying the gas in larger-sized bottles, which does work out cheaper per kilogram than smaller bottles.Please call 01322 224108 to check stock availability.
