Fragaria vesca
Rujana is a German heirloom alpine strawberry producing abundant crops of sweet, juicy red berries with the intense fragrance characteristic of wild strawberries. Also known as Fraises des Bois, the fruits are smaller than modern garden strawberries but exceptionally aromatic and richly flavoured.
Bred in Germany around 1920, Rujana was one of the early named selections of Fragaria vesca, the European woodland strawberry. Plants produce large white flowers followed by fruit over an extended season and form neat, compact clumps, making them particularly attractive in containers, hanging baskets and as edible garden edging.
The berries are excellent fresh, dry well and make beautifully fragrant jams and preserves. Both the fruit and leaves have also traditionally been used for herbal teas.

Capsicum annuum
Jalapeno is one of the world’s best-known and most widely eaten chillies, producing prolific crops of smooth, thick-fleshed fruits up to approximately 7.5 cm long and 3 cm across. Fruits are usually harvested while glossy green but will ripen to a brilliant red when left on the plant, developing additional sweetness as they mature.
The firm, juicy flesh has a moderate heat and distinctive fresh chilli flavour, making Jalapenos enormously versatile in the kitchen. Use fresh in salsas, guacamole and salads, slice over tacos and nachos, stuff and bake, pickle whole or sliced, or add to almost anything that could use a little extra heat. When ripe Jalapenos are smoked and dried, they become chipotle chillies, developing their characteristic deep, smoky flavour.
Native to Mexico, the Jalapeno takes its name from Xalapa (Jalapa) in Veracruz, where the chilli was traditionally cultivated and traded. Its history even extends beyond Earth: Jalapenos were among the first chillies grown in space, cultivated aboard the International Space Station in 2021.
Plants are vigorous and prolific, forming bushy plants up to approximately 1 m tall under favourable conditions. They perform best through warm weather in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture.
