Dactylis glomerata

Savvy Cocksfoot is a hardy, upright perennial grass valued for its persistence, strong root system and ability to perform across a range of conditions, including moderately acidic and lower-fertility soils. As a green manure and cover crop, it produces substantial fibrous root growth and leafy biomass, helping protect bare soil, reduce erosion, suppress weeds and build organic matter.

Its dense root system is particularly useful for improving soil structure and holding soil together, making Savvy a good choice for longer-term cover cropping, orchards, pathways and areas where a persistent living ground cover is preferred. Unlike legume green manures, Cocksfoot does not fix nitrogen, but it pairs well with legumes such as clover, lucerne or vetch in mixed green manure plantings.

A reliable perennial pasture species, it can also be grazed or cut periodically and will regrow from the established crown. Allowing cut material to remain on the soil provides additional organic matter and surface protection.

Dactylis glomerata

Yarck Cocksfoot is a hardy, persistent perennial pasture grass valued for its drought tolerance, adaptability and ability to provide reliable forage under challenging conditions. Deep rooted and resilient, it performs particularly well in areas where summer moisture can be limited and maintains productivity when less drought-tolerant pasture species begin to struggle.

Well suited to a wide range of soil types, Yarck establishes a strong perennial pasture with good recovery following grazing. Once established, its extensive root system helps plants access moisture deeper in the soil profile, contributing to excellent persistence through dry periods.

The leafy growth provides useful, high-quality forage for grazing livestock and responds well to rotational grazing. Cocksfoot can also be grown as cat grass, with young foliage grown in pots or trays providing fresh grass for indoor cats to nibble. Yarck can be grown as part of a mixed pasture with suitable legumes and other perennial grasses or established where a tough, dependable grass is required.

Brassica oleracea var. acephala

Champion is a traditional Collard producing large, smooth, tender blue-green leaves with a mild cabbage-like flavour. Vigorous, dependable and notably cold hardy, it continues producing leafy greens over a long harvest period and tolerates poorer soils better than many other brassicas.

Collards are an ancient form of non-heading cabbage and have been cultivated in Europe for more than 2,000 years. They later became deeply embedded in the food traditions of the American South, where slow-cooked collard greens remain an important part of regional cuisine.

The broad leaves are highly nutritious, providing vitamins A, C and K along with folate, calcium and other minerals. Young leaves can be shredded finely for salads and slaws, while mature leaves are excellent steamed, sautéed, braised or slow-cooked. They can also be used as sturdy edible wraps in place of cabbage leaves.

Champion prefers full sun and fertile, well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH, although it is more forgiving of poorer ground than many heading brassicas. Keep plants consistently watered for the most tender leaves. Mature plants tolerate frost well, and cool weather can improve the sweetness and flavour of the foliage.

Seed count: approximately 300 seeds/g
Approximately 120 seeds per packet

When to Plant (Australia)

Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Late summer to winter
Mild climates: Late summer to autumn and spring
Cold climates: Spring to summer, or late summer for an autumn crop

Planting / Sowing

Sow directly or raise in trays approximately 5–10 mm deep. Keep consistently moist until established.

Transplant or thin seedlings to approximately 40–50 cm apart. Harvest individual outer leaves once plants are established, leaving the central growing point intact so plants continue producing.

For the sweetest and most tender greens, harvest young leaves regularly. Established plants can withstand cold conditions and light frost.

If saving seed, remember that Collards will cross-pollinate readily with other compatible Brassica oleracea crops, including cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, so adequate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.

Maturity: approximately 60–75 days.

Symphytum officinale

Comfrey is a hardy, long-lived perennial herb renowned for its usefulness in the garden. Deep-rooted and vigorous, it produces large, lush green leaves and attractive bell-shaped flowers that are highly appealing to bees and other pollinators.

A favourite among organic and permaculture gardeners, comfrey is commonly grown as a nutrient-rich addition to compost, used to make homemade liquid fertiliser or cut regularly for use as mulch around fruit trees and garden beds. Its extensive root system allows established plants to draw nutrients from deep within the soil, while the abundant foliage provides a valuable source of organic matter.

Comfrey also has a long history of traditional herbal use, particularly in external preparations such as poultices, salves and infused oils. Once established, plants are extremely resilient and can provide repeated harvests of foliage throughout the growing season.

These are root cuttings rather than seeds, providing a simple and reliable way to establish comfrey in the garden.

Symphytum officinale

Comfrey is a vigorous herbaceous perennial growing to around 1 m tall, producing large, textured leaves and clusters of nodding purple, pink or creamy-white flowers that are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. Once established, it develops an extensive deep root system that mines nutrients from the subsoil, making it one of the most valued plants in organic gardens and permaculture systems. Plants are long-lived and can readily regenerate from even small pieces of root, so choose the planting position carefully.

Traditionally, the young leaves were eaten cooked in soups, pasta dishes and other recipes, while the roots and leaves featured in a variety of historical herbal preparations. Today, Comfrey is best known as a valuable garden plant. Its nutrient-rich foliage is ideal for composting, mulching or making a liquid fertiliser by steeping chopped leaves in water for several weeks. The resulting brew is naturally rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace minerals, making it an excellent tonic for flowering and fruiting plants.

Comfrey has a long history of external use in traditional herbal medicine for bruises, sprains and minor injuries.

Due to the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids, internal use is no longer generally recommended. Topical use should also be undertaken with appropriate knowledge and care.

Zea mays

Blue Mini is a compact and highly decorative Popcorn producing several small, beautifully coloured blue cobs on plants reaching only around 1 m tall. Despite its modest size, each plant can produce approximately 4–6 cobs, making it a productive choice for smaller vegetable gardens and spaces where full-sized corn varieties can be cumbersome.

The kernels mature to shades of slate-blue to deep blue and can be dried for popping. The small cobs are also particularly attractive when dried and used in seasonal displays and decorative arrangements.

Corn has been cultivated in the Americas for thousands of years, with popcorn representing some of the oldest known forms of maize. Popcorn varieties contain a hard outer hull surrounding a starchy centre; when heated, moisture trapped within the kernel turns to steam until the pressure causes the kernel to burst and expand.

Blue Mini is a warm-season crop that performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and regular moisture. Corn is wind pollinated, so grow plants together in a block rather than a single long row to encourage good pollination and well-filled cobs.

Approximately 40 seeds per packet

When to Plant (Australia)

Tropics: Spring to autumn
Subtropics: Spring to summer
Mild climates: Spring to early summer
Cold climates: Spring after the last frost to early summer

Planting / Sowing

Sow directly into warm soil approximately 2–3 cm deep. Space plants approximately 20–30 cm apart, with rows 50–75 cm apart. For reliable pollination, plant in a block of several short rows.

Keep consistently watered during establishment, flowering and cob development. Corn is a relatively hungry crop and benefits from fertile soil and additional feeding during active growth.

For popcorn, leave the cobs on the plants until the husks and kernels have matured and begun to dry. Harvest and continue drying the cobs thoroughly before removing and popping the kernels.

If saving seed, isolate Blue Mini from other corn varieties flowering at the same time, as corn cross-pollinates readily and crossing can affect both seed purity and kernel characteristics.

Zea mays var. everta

Saturn is a traditional Popcorn variety producing attractive cobs filled with golden-yellow kernels that burst into crisp white popcorn when heated. Grown specifically for popping rather than eating fresh from the cob, the kernels develop the hard outer hull needed to trap steam and create their characteristic pop.

Popcorn is one of the oldest forms of cultivated maize. Archaeological evidence from the Americas shows that people were popping corn thousands of years ago, long before modern sweet corn varieties were developed. Zea mays var. everta is the specialised flint-type corn traditionally associated with popcorn, its dense kernels expanding dramatically when heated.

Once properly dried, Saturn can be popped and eaten simply or seasoned with salt, herbs, spices, butter or sweet coatings. The golden mature cobs are also attractive dried and stored whole until the kernels are required.

Like other corn, Saturn is a warm-season crop and performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and regular moisture. Corn is wind pollinated, so plants should be grown together in blocks rather than a single long row to encourage good pollination and well-filled cobs.

Approximately 200 seeds per packet

When to Plant (Australia)

Tropics: Spring to autumn
Subtropics: Spring to summer
Mild climates: Spring to early summer
Cold climates: Spring after the last frost to early summer

Planting / Sowing

Sow directly into warm soil approximately 2–3 cm deep. Space plants approximately 20–30 cm apart, with rows 50–75 cm apart. For reliable pollination, plant in a block of several short rows.

Keep consistently watered during establishment, flowering and cob development. Corn is a relatively hungry crop and benefits from fertile soil and additional feeding during active growth.

For popcorn, leave cobs on the plants until the husks have browned and the kernels are hard and mature. Harvest and continue drying the cobs thoroughly in a well-ventilated position before removing the kernels. Properly dried kernels are essential for good popping.

If saving seed, isolate Saturn from other corn varieties flowering at the same time, as corn cross-pollinates readily and crossing can affect both seed purity and kernel characteristics.
