Our Feedback
I have just tried growing your Victorian colossal pea, with fantastic results.
We have a small garden and my wife found these thinking we would get more for the same space as the 'normal' peas. Problem is they are so heavily laden with pods they are tearing from the support frame and I have had to tie them up with soft string. A problem that is very welcome. I have just sown more in the greenhouse to plant out for a later crop. I have also tried your coloured carrots but too soon to try, but I will be ordering more seeds and greater variety in the future.
Best wishes

How Hot Is That?...Chilli Pepper Heat Guide
Supplied as a packet of approximately 5 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.An extremely compact variety of Chilli that is both highly ornamental and highly prolific, with a single plant capable of producing 200-300 individual fruits in a myriad of colours from green to orange to red.
Whilst primarily developed for its ornamental qualities this is a lovely, spicy, hot variety with a really good 'twang' to its flavour. Despite the relatively small size of the fruits it's good to know that they are actually quite fleshy - and not all seed.
Bred in the UK, Basket Of Fire performs well even in colder years and is perfect for growing in containers or tubs. Grown in a small enough container these make lovely centrepieces for the patio table. Similarly, they are perfect for growing in hanging baskets as their semi-lax habit allows them to cascade moderately over the sides. Grows to around 12" (30 cm) tall with a spread of around 2 feet (60cm).
