TRY OUR BEST!
This year we have added icons to indicate NEW listings in our 2006-7 catalogue edition, BEST OF THE BASKET, which are our customer favourites, and FARMER BOB'S BEST, to identify kid tested and approved family picks. We hope you enjoy them!
 NEW - This indicates new additions to our 2006-7 catalogue. We have tried them over the past few summers and found them to be worth of offer.
 BEST OF THE BASKET - These are our customer favourites. They are popular varieties consistently chosen and enjoyed by gardeners every year. Proven producers with excellent eating quality that easily adapt to most growing conditions.
 FARMER BOB'S BEST - These are our family favourites. Kid tested and approved, each year it is a challenge to salvage any for seed as nibblers, both young and old, always sneak a few for snacking. Farmer Bob's main criteria for his picks are exceptional quality and taste.
