Exotic vegetable seed
Broccoli, pak choi, radicchio, leek and zucchini. In India, the crops that fail usually fail because they were sown in the wrong month. So every listing gives separate sowing months for the plains and for the hills.

The classic Italian sprouting broccoli. After the central head is cut, it keeps producing small side shoots for weeks.
The Brussels sprout recommended for Indian hills and the coolest plains winters. Firm, round sprouts right up the stem.
A compact, heavy-cropping heirloom that suits a smaller bed. It needs real cold to make tight sprouts.
A CSK HPKV release with a firm, compact green head and good side-shoot regrowth after the main cut. Proven in Indian plains winters.
7 products
Edible chrysanthemum. Aromatic leaves for hot pots and salads, with pretty yellow flowers if you let a few plants go.
Japanese mustard with finely cut, feathery leaves and a mild peppery bite. Cut it and it comes again three or four times.
A tall, cylindrical napa cabbage with crisp pale hearts. Good for kimchi, and it stands in the field longer than round types.
Glossy dark spoon leaves in a flat rosette. Mild, tender and very cold-hardy, as good raw as it is stir-fried.
8 products
Escarole: broad, smooth leaves, less bitter than frisée and good wilted into soup. The easier endive to grow.
Peppery, glossy leaves that grow best in constantly wet soil. Try a tray standing in water, or the edge of a water tank.
Broad, dark, savoyed leaves on thick white ribs. Pick the outer leaves and it keeps going all winter. It handles heat better than spinach.
Frilly, finely cut frisée with a pleasant bitterness. Tie the head up for the last ten days to blanch a pale, sweeter heart.
8 products
A long, thick white shank with a sweet onion flavour. Earth up as it grows to blanch more of the stem.
A knobbly root with a clean celery flavour, for mash, soup and remoulade. Slow to start, then trouble-free.
Big, round, fleshy green heads on a silver-leaved plant. In the hills it is a perennial; in the plains, grow it as a long winter crop.
Bred to crop in its first year from seed, which makes it the artichoke to grow where winters are too short for Green Globe.
5 products
The mid-green bush zucchini most widely grown in India. Heavy-bearing and forgiving of a warm spell.
Glossy, near-black courgettes on a compact bush plant. Pick them at 15-20 cm and pick often; a missed fruit turns into a marrow.
Bright yellow cylindrical courgettes that are easy to spot under the leaves. The flavour is the same as green zucchini, with more colour on the plate.
Long, white, sweet roots that sweeten further after the first cold snap. Always sow fresh seed; parsnip seed loses viability quickly.
