Short, smooth snack cucumbers on a compact, manageable plant: a variety for small, fresh pickings. Choose Kaban for short, smooth snacks and more compact growth in a greenhouse, garden or larger pot.

Gardening guide

Growing persimmons: a garden full of flavour

With persimmons, the first choice is how you want to eat them: firm or completely soft. The variety must specify that characteristic, otherwise you may taste an astringent fruit at the wrong time. A warm spot and enough autumn time are part of the experiment.

Gardening guide

Kalibos: discover its flavour and how to grow it

Kalibos forms a pointed, reddish-purple cabbage. This gives both the long, pointed shape and clear colour in the bed. Choose Kalibos when red pointed cabbage suits your dishes better than a classic round red cabbage.

Gardening guide

Kaliser Alexander: discover its flavour and how to grow it

Full maturity produces a dark brown, netted skin: a cucumber with a very different exterior from supermarket types. Choose this variety if shape and ripe colour interest you. Brown, netted skin belongs to later development, not disease.

Gardening guide

Chamomile: varieties, growing and uses

Chamomile offers two different garden looks: a loose annual cloud of flowers or a low perennial carpet. To harvest flowers, choose a flowering species; for a scented edging, choose by growth habit. A non-flowering form should not be promoted for tea flowers.

Cardoon: silver leaves and an unusual stalk harvest

Cardoon is a large relative of the artichoke, grown for its leaf stalks. You can blanch these before harvest by excluding light. The silvery-grey rosette also makes it attractive in a spacious border. Start with one or two plants and leave enough room to work.

Growing cherries: a garden full of flavour

Eating cherries as you pick them is a different garden moment from harvesting a crate for processing. A low crown keeps that moment within reach. Plan support, protection and picking space together so that you do not need a complicated ladder route between vegetable beds later.

Gardening guide

Chervil: varieties, growing and uses

Chervil invites you to harvest a delicate herb in cooler seasons too. Its foliage looks soft and fern-like; a curly form makes that detail even more pronounced. Keep a few small sowings in reserve rather than putting all your hopes in one summer plant.

Small, smooth kiwis can be eaten straight away like grapes. Red Ken's Red adds extra colour.

Gardening guide

Poppy: varieties, growing and uses

A poppy brings a brief, delicate surprise among the vegetable beds. Red with a dark blotch feels very different from a crinkled pink or white Shirley flower. Give these annuals their own strip: their beauty lies in a succession of flowers and seed heads, rather than one long-lasting flower head.

Gardening guide

Garlic chives: varieties, growing and uses

Garlic chives are the flat-leaved relative of ordinary chives. Their white starry flowers add a lovely late detail to the herb garden, while the leaves bring a mild garlic flavour to the kitchen. A named variety is interesting, but no reason to invent an artificial abundance of different names.

Gardening guide

Growing celeriac: a long summer for an aromatic autumn root

Celeriac needs an early start and months of patience. The reward sits half visible above the ground: a firm swollen base beneath fresh, scented leaves. A moist bed is the easiest growing space; a large container can work for a small trial too.

Gardening guide

Growing Florence fennel: juicy bulbs among fine fennel foliage

Florence fennel forms a swollen leaf base above the soil. It works well in a summer bed after an early harvest, or as a compact crop in a container. Choose Florence fennel seed: ordinary herb fennel does not automatically produce the same edible bulb.
