It is an Asparagus officinalis variety, open pollinated rather than a hybrid, producing large, thick spears of bright green with characteristically deep purple tips and a clean, delicate flavour that is genuinely difficult to match from a supermarket. As a perennial vegetable, it is grown once and harvested year after year: an established bed will produce reliably for 15 to 20 years, making it one of the best long term investments you can make in a kitchen garden or allotment. Growing from seed is slower than planting crowns but significantly cheaper, and plants raised from seed often establish stronger, more disease resistant root systems as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it is good\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe flavour of freshly cut asparagus is in a different category to anything commercially available: sweet, tender and delicate in a way that deteriorates quickly after cutting, which is one of the reasons growing your own is so worthwhile. Connover's Colossal produces thick, generously sized spears with strong yields once the bed is fully established, and its long track record in British gardens reflects genuine reliability across a range of conditions. The feathery foliage that develops through summer after the harvest season is also genuinely ornamental: tall, airy and attractive in the garden. The flowers are a noted nectar and pollen source for bees, making it a useful addition to a wildlife friendly plot. An established plant should produce around 10 to 25 spears per season, and stopping harvesting by mid June each year allows the crown to rebuild its reserves for the following spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAsparagus requires a dedicated, permanent bed: once planted it should not be disturbed, so preparation before sowing or planting matters more than almost any other crop. Choose a sunny, sheltered position with deep, fertile, very well drained soil. Asparagus will not tolerate waterlogging and will fail in poorly drained ground. Clear the bed of all perennial weeds thoroughly before sowing as weeding becomes much harder once the plants are established. Dig in generous amounts of well rotted organic matter before sowing and, if the soil is acidic, apply lime to bring the pH up to around neutral. Seeds sown indoors in February or March can be planted out in early summer of the same year and moved to their final position the following spring. Outdoor sowings in March or April can be thinned and transplanted similarly. Keep the bed weed free throughout: competition from weeds is one of the most common reasons asparagus beds underperform. Mulch generously each autumn with well rotted compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest and outcome\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePatience is genuinely required with asparagus grown from seed: do not harvest any spears in the first two years after sowing, and only harvest lightly in the third year. From the fourth year onwards, harvest fully for six to eight weeks from mid April to mid June. Cut individual spears with a sharp knife around 2.5cm below the soil surface when they reach around 15 to 18cm tall, and harvest every two to three days in warm weather as spears can grow very quickly. Stop all harvesting by mid June each year without exception, as this allows the plant to build up the crown reserves that will produce next year's crop. After harvesting, allow the ferny foliage to develop fully through summer and cut it back to around 10cm above soil level in autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eConnover's Colossal is for any grower who is ready to make a long term commitment to their plot. The patience required in the early years is real, but the reward is a bed that produces one of the most luxurious vegetables you can grow, reliably, every spring, for two decades without resowing. It is a natural choice for allotment holders who want to dedicate a permanent section of their plot to a perennial crop, and for kitchen gardeners who want to mark out an asparagus bed as a centrepiece of their growing year. If you are establishing a new plot and thinking about what to plant first, an asparagus bed from seed is one of the most rewarding decisions you can make in year one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Fothergill's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52214983819602,"sku":"5011775273396","price":2.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/6260\/9746\/files\/mr-fothergills-rhs-asparagus-connovers-colossal-seeds-agm-heritage-perennial-vegetable-seeds-5011775273396-5011775273396-mr-fothergills-shop-now-at-allotmate-es-8293741.jpg?v=1777981034"},{"product_id":"rhs-beetroot-action","title":"Mr Fothergills RHS Beetroot Action F1 Seeds AGM Sweet Baby or Full Size","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBeetroot Action F1 is a high quality British bred F1 hybrid variety from Mr Fothergill's Seeds, produced in partnership with the RHS and awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit for its consistent reliability and excellent garden performance. It is a Beta vulgaris variety producing smooth, deep red globe shaped roots with a clean, attractive appearance and strong tops that make lifting noticeably easier than varieties with weaker foliage. Action F1 is a versatile variety: it can be harvested young at golf ball size for sweet, tender baby beets, or left to develop into full sized mature roots with the same excellent flavour and smooth skin.

The smooth skin and uniform globe shape mean very little waste in the kitchen, and the roots hold their colour well when cooked. At the baby stage, harvested when golf ball sized, they are sweet and tender in a way that larger, more mature roots often are not: perfect roasted whole, pickled or sliced raw into salads. Left to mature fully, they develop into high quality, consistent, deep red roots suitable for all the classic uses. Baby leaves are fully edible and work well in salads, adding a mild earthy sweetness alongside the decorative deep red veining. Quick to mature at six to twelve weeks, it is also one of the faster returning crops you can sow in the kitchen garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAction F1 is straightforward to grow and performs well in a wide range of conditions. It prefers a sunny position in light, well drained, stone free soil that has been raked to a fine tilth before sowing: heavy, compacted or stony ground can cause roots to fork or distort. Avoid ground with freshly added manure as this also causes forking. Beetroot seeds are actually seed clusters, meaning each sowing position can produce multiple seedlings, so thinning to 10cm apart as seedlings develop is important to give roots room to form properly. Sow every two to three weeks from April through to July for a continuous supply rather than a single large glut: this is one of the simplest and most effective growing tricks for beetroot.

For full sized mature roots, leave in the ground until required, checking that roots are not becoming woody. Roots can be stored in boxes of slightly damp sand in a cool, frost free place for several weeks after harvest. Baby leaves can be picked from young plants and used fresh in salads.

It is a Brassica oleracea italica and a summer sprouting type, meaning it does not require the long dormant overwintering period of traditional purple sprouting varieties. That makes it a significantly faster and more accessible crop, with a harvest window running from April through to October depending on sowing date.

The flavour is sweet and mild, with a soft, low fibre texture in both the stems and florets that works beautifully raw, steamed, stir fried or briefly boiled. The deep purple colour, which comes from a high concentration of anthocyanins, is retained best when the shoots are steamed or stir fried quickly rather than boiled at length. Those anthocyanins are also one of the reasons purple brassicas are so nutritious: they are powerful antioxidants that make Tyrian one of the more health oriented vegetables you can grow on the plot. As a summer sprouting variety it fills a genuinely useful seasonal gap, producing harvests through late spring and summer when traditional purple sprouting broccoli is long finished and the main calabrese crop is not yet ready.

Space plants 60cm apart in both directions to give them room to develop fully and allow airflow around the foliage. Net with fine mesh from transplanting to protect against cabbage white butterflies and pigeons, both of which are serious problems if left unchecked.

Yields are impressive, with plants producing abundantly from top to bottom of the stem, and the standing ability through hard winters means you can harvest as you need rather than picking everything at once and trying to store it.

That timeline requires some planning but the reward is a self-sustaining source of fresh, nutritious vegetables through the coldest months of the year when the rest of the plot has very little to offer. Plants grow to a medium height of around 75 to 80cm and benefit from a sunny, sheltered position in firm, fertile, well drained soil. Firm planting is important as loose soil causes plants to rock in autumn winds, which reduces sprout quality. Earth up around the stems in autumn and stake taller plants in exposed positions if needed.

Pick when buttons are firm, tight and around 2.5 to 4cm across, and remove the leaf below each picked sprout as you work your way up the plant. Regular picking encourages the upper buttons to develop and keeps the harvest going over a long period. Do not pick too early: buttons benefit noticeably from a few hard frosts, which convert starches to sugars and give the sprout its characteristic sweetness. Once most of the stem is harvested, the leafy top rosette of the plant, known as sprout tops, can be picked and cooked as a tender, flavourful green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIgor F1 is an excellent choice for any grower who wants fresh homegrown vegetables on the table through the deepest part of winter.

The result is a winter cabbage that neither compromises on flavour nor on appearance, and which sets a genuinely high standard for what a homegrown winter brassica can be.

It is exceptionally frost hardy, capable of standing in the ground through hard British winters without deteriorating, and once mature it holds well from November right through to April. That standing ability is a significant practical advantage, effectively turning it into a living store rather than requiring you to harvest and refrigerate at a fixed point. The flavour is sweet and nutty, improved by cold weather rather than damaged by it, and the crisp texture works equally well shredded raw into coleslaw, braised in a winter stew, or simply steamed alongside a roast.

Incorporate plenty of well rotted organic matter ahead of planting, ideally a few weeks in advance to allow the ground to settle. Space plants around 45 to 60cm apart with 60cm between rows to allow heads to develop fully and reduce the risk of disease. As with all brassicas, do not grow Tundra F1 in a spot where cabbage or other brassicas were grown the previous year. Net the crop with fine mesh from the outset to protect against cabbage white butterflies and pigeons, both of which will find it without much trouble.
