Why We Love It:

Incredibly productive, with each plant producing a steady supply of snack-sized fruits throughout summer. Their compact growth makes them perfect for patios, balconies, or greenhouses where space is limited. The fruits are virtually seedless, with a refreshingly crisp texture and mild, sweet flavour that children especially enjoy.

The Nunhead Gardener Recommends:

Pair with basil and tomatoes in containers for a Mediterranean-style edible display. Try sliced fresh in salads, pickled for a tangy snack, or added to summer drinks for a cooling twist.
