Chard

Friday, September 16th, 2016

I love growing chard. It looks amazing and it’s easy to include in meals as a vegetable side dish or even adding to recipes.


Swiss Chard ‘Fantasy’ – 1 packet (175 swiss chard seeds)
 £2.99
Probably the best tasting Red Chard. The taste is mild, juicy and delicious with no harsh aftertastes unlike most Red Chards. Ideal for successional sowing through the spring and summer for both ‘baby leaf’ or as mature plants. High tolerance to downymildew

Swiss Chard ‘Bright Lights’ – 1 packet (80 swiss chard seeds)
 £2.99
This exciting RHS AGM leaf beet, produces a rainbow of coloured stems that are crowned with large leaves of green or bronze. The flavour is deliciously mild and packed with nutritional content. Leaf Beet ‘Bright Lights’ can be harvested from mid-summer to late autumn, and after a normal winter, it will re-emerge to give an unbelievably early spring crop! Guaranteed lo brighten the vegetable patch, or why not grow this colourful swiss chard cultivar in ornamental borders. Height: 50cm (20"’). Spread: 40cm (16"’)

Swiss Chard ‘Lucullus’ – 1 packet (200 swiss chard seeds)
 £2.99
A much more prolific form, Swiss Chard Lucullus produces an abundance of large, tasty leaves and wide, white mid-ribs. Cook the succulent mid-rib like asparagus and serve with melted butter. Easier, and some consider tastier, than spinach. If the plants of Swiss Chard Lucullus are left to flower, the flower stalks can be cooked and eaten like sprouting broccoli. Cropping from mid-summer to late autumn. After a normal winter, it will re-emerge to give an unbelievably early spring crop

Swiss Chard ‘Green Wave’ – 1 packet (200 swiss chard seeds)
 £2.69
‘Green Wave’ resembles a perpetual spinach beet, but is more productive and with more slender, milder-tasting stems and leaves, which are delicious in salads and stir fries when young. Use mature leaves in the same way as chard and spinach. Stands in good condition without bolting.

Swiss Chard ‘Five Colour Silverbeet’ – Heritage – 1 packet (200 swiss chard seeds)
 £2.29
A rainbow mix of vibrant stem and leaf colours maintained as an Australian heirloom. An excellent value crop as the juicy, mild flavoured broad stems (chards), and the leaves (as spinach) can be eaten. Both are best steamed, but as baby leaves the stems and leaves can be added to salads. Decorative vegetable perfect for borders and containers

Swiss Chard ‘White Silver’ – 1 packet (300 swiss chard seeds)
 £0.99
A versatile no-waste vegetable. Grow as a salad leaf, or more usually as mature plants for the thick, white, juicy stems (chards), which are cut into chunks and boiled, or used to add ‘crunch’ to stir-fries. Use the delicious leaves like spinach. A final sowing in August will crop through to New Year.

Swiss Chard ‘Bright Yellow’ – 1 packet (85 swiss chard seeds)
 £0.99
The beautiful, broad golden stalks of Swiss Chard Bright Yellow are a striking and colourful addition to the vegetable garden and the flower border or containers. The sweet stalks can be steamed as a vegetable or, when young, eaten raw in salads. Swiss Chard Bright Yellow is slow to bolting and has good winter hardiness. Cropping from mid-summer to late autumn. After a normal winter, it will re-emerge to give an unbelievably early spring crop

AL-KO Solo FC 13-90.5 HD 4WD Front Deck Ride on Lawnmower

AL-KO Solo FC 13-90.5 HD 4WD Front Deck Ride on Lawnmower £4999.00
The Solo by AL-KO FC 13-90.5 HD 4 WD out front deck lawn tractor is driven by a Briggs and Stratton Intek engine and uses a 2 -blade 90 cm mowing deck which has both a rear discharge & mulching function. With an out front deck lawn tractor it is much simpler to mow under bushes or hedges and on this model the deck can be folded up for maintenance and storage. The AL-KO Solo FC13-90.5HD has a 4WD hydrostatic (automatic) drive transmission. The hydrostatic drive is easy to use and drives very like an automatic car. Just press down on the accelerator pedal to go and ease off to stop.Rear steering on the FC 13-90.5 HD 4WD allows the mower to be manoeuvred around obstacles with ease so it can be used in rougher cut areas like orchards. Using the tractor in rear discharge mode is an excellent option in these areas as it allows the cutter deck to mow longer grass. These cuttings are then deposited back onto the ground where they will wilt back naturally.When using the Solo FC 13-90.5 HD four wheel drive to mulch as you mow the grass cuttings will be cut then re-cut by the two rotary blades. This cuts the grass into tiny pieces which are blown down onto the ground where they virtually disappear. The nutrient rich particles get absorbed by the soil providing additional moisture and acting as a fertiliser for the grass roots. This re-cycling of the grass cuttings can give your lawn a healthier & greener growth. For the best cut and results start at the top cutting height setting and work down only cutting a third at a time.The cutting heights can be adjusted through 4 stages from 30 – 90 mm. The FC13-90.5HD has ergonomically designed controls & the adjustable seat makes using the FC13-90.5HD a comfortable experience. Large wheels with wide tyres plus the four wheel drive will improve the traction whilst mowing in damp conditions or if the machine is on an incline.The 90 cm mowing deck on this front cut AL-KO Solo ride on lawnmower can easily be removed & attachments such as a snow plough or power sweeper can be fitted.SpecificationsType : Out Front deckModel : FC13-90.5 HDTransmission: HydrostaticDrive : four wheel driveEngine : Briggs & Stratton Intek 3130Displacement : 344 ccCylinders : SingleFuel : PetrolFuel Tank Capacity : 8.5 LStarter : Key startCutting Width : 90 cmDeck Type : 2 bladedMowing Circle : 95 cmCutting Heights : 4 stages from 30 – 90 mmSteering : RearRear Discharge : YesMulching  : YesBlade Brake Clutch : MechanicalWheel Size : 15 x 6.00-6Dimensions (with deck) : L220 x W97 x H110cmManufacturer’s 5 year domestic warranty (Terms &
