Pisum sativum

Mammoth Melting is a vigorous heirloom Snow Pea producing large, flat edible pods up to approximately 10 cm long. Sweet, crisp and tender when young, it is a heavy-cropping variety with robust climbing vines reaching around 2 m tall.

The entire young pod is eaten before the peas inside begin to swell. Pods have a deliciously sweet, fresh flavour and satisfying crunch, making them excellent eaten straight from the garden, sliced into salads or lightly steamed or stir-fried. Quick cooking preserves their sweetness and crisp texture.

Plants produce attractive white flowers followed by abundant pods over an extended period. Regular harvesting is important with snow peas, as picking the young pods encourages the vines to continue flowering and producing.

Mammoth Melting performs particularly well in cool weather and has useful resistance to wilt. Its tall climbing habit requires a strong trellis, netting or fence, but climbing peas reward the extra support with heavy yields over a longer period than many dwarf varieties.

Peas are among the world’s oldest cultivated food crops, originating in the Near East and grown since ancient times. Early peas were primarily harvested and dried for storage, while edible-podded forms such as snow peas were selected for their tender pods and eventually became important vegetables throughout Europe and Asia.

Pisum sativum

Oregon Giant is a productive Snow Pea producing exceptionally large, broad, dark green edible pods with a crisp, tender texture and sweet flavour. Plants grow to approximately 1 m tall and provide generous harvests of substantial pods that are easy to spot and pick.

The entire young pod is eaten before the peas inside fully mature. Despite their impressive size, the pods remain tender when harvested young and are excellent eaten fresh in salads, sliced into wraps or quickly steamed or stir-fried. Brief cooking helps retain their characteristic sweetness and crunch.

Oregon Giant was developed as part of the Oregon State University pea-breeding program and was selected for its combination of large pods, good eating quality and useful disease resistance. It has resistance to powdery mildew as well as some resistance to root rot, making it a particularly dependable choice where these diseases can affect pea crops.

Plants reach around 1 m tall and benefit from pea netting, stakes or another low trellis. Regular harvesting encourages continued flowering and pod production and ensures the pods are picked at their sweetest and most tender stage.

Peas are among the world’s oldest cultivated food crops, originating in the Near East and grown since ancient times.

Pisum sativum

Oregon Snow Pea is a reliable, heavy-bearing variety producing crisp, flat edible pods up to approximately 10 cm long. Compact plants grow to around 70 cm tall, making this an excellent choice where space is limited or a tall climbing pea is impractical.

The entire young pod is eaten before the peas inside fully develop. Pods are tender, sweet and crunchy, excellent eaten fresh in salads or straight from the garden. They are equally good lightly steamed or quickly stir-fried, where brief cooking retains their fresh flavour and crisp texture.

Plants have a compact bush habit and can be grown with or without support, although low pea netting, stakes or twiggy branches can help keep the crop upright and make harvesting easier. The variety is a vigorous producer with useful disease resistance and a relatively quick maturity.

Regular harvesting is particularly important with snow peas. Pick pods while they are still flat and tender to encourage the plants to continue flowering and producing over an extended period.

Pisum sativum

Yakumo is an impressive tall-climbing Snow Pea producing long, flat edible pods that can reach approximately 13 cm. Vigorous vines grow around 2–2.5 m tall and produce attractive purple flowers, making this a productive and ornamental addition to the cool-season vegetable garden.

The young pods are tender, crisp and sweet and are eaten whole before the peas inside fully develop. Their generous size makes them excellent sliced fresh into salads or quickly steamed, blanched or stir-fried. Brief cooking preserves their fresh pea flavour and satisfying crunch.

Yakumo’s vigorous climbing habit allows it to produce vertically rather than taking up valuable garden space at ground level. A strong trellis, fence or netting is essential to support the tall vines and make the developing pods easy to harvest.

Regular picking is particularly important with snow peas. Harvest the pods while they remain flat and tender to encourage the vines to continue flowering and producing over a long period. The purple flowers also add plenty of interest to the garden before the pods develop.

Pisum sativum

Bush Sugarsnap is a compact, early-producing Pea grown for its sweet, crisp, completely edible pods. Unlike traditional shelling peas or flat snow peas, sugarsnaps are harvested once the pods have filled out, giving them their characteristic juicy crunch and plump appearance.

The stringless pods grow to approximately 7.5 cm long and have an exceptionally sweet, fresh pea flavour. Eat them straight from the garden, slice into salads or serve with dips, or lightly steam or stir-fry them. Both the crisp pod and the developing peas inside are eaten together.

The short bush habit makes this variety particularly useful for small vegetable gardens, raised beds and containers. Plants begin producing relatively early and require considerably less support than tall climbing peas, although a few short stakes or twiggy branches can help keep heavily laden plants upright.

Unlike snow peas, which are harvested while the pods are still flat, sugarsnaps are best picked once the pods become rounded and the peas inside are clearly developing, but while the entire pod remains crisp and tender. Regular harvesting encourages continued flowering and production.

Peas are among the world’s oldest cultivated food crops, originating in the Near East and grown since ancient times. Early peas were primarily harvested and dried for storage, while edible-podded forms were later selected for their tender, sweet pods.

Pisum sativum

Telephone, also known as Alderman, is a classic heirloom shelling Pea producing enormous, well-filled pods on vigorous climbing vines reaching approximately 2 m tall. Renowned for its delicate flavour and impressive pod size, it has long been a favourite with home gardeners and exhibition growers.

The large pods contain plump, sweet green peas with a tender texture and excellent flavour. Enjoy them freshly shelled and lightly cooked, add them to soups, stews, risottos and vegetable dishes, or blanch and freeze surplus harvests. The peas can also be allowed to mature and dry for use as a dried pulse.

First introduced in 1878, Telephone became famous for its exceptionally large pods, tall productive vines and high-quality peas. It later became widely known as Alderman and remains an exhibition-standard variety more than a century after its introduction.

The tall vines produce over a long period and require a sturdy trellis, fence or netting. Climbing peas reward the additional support with an extended harvest, particularly when mature pods are picked regularly.

Peas are among the world’s oldest cultivated food crops, originating in the Near East and grown since ancient times. Early peas were primarily harvested and dried for storage, with tender green shelling peas becoming popular much later.

Arachis hypogaea

Virginia Bunch is a productive heirloom peanut variety producing very large, flavourful kernels with good disease resistance. Compact, low-growing plants develop attractive yellow pea-like flowers before the flower stalk bends towards the soil, where the peanuts mature underground – one of the most fascinating growth habits in the vegetable garden.

Well suited to warm climates with at least five frost-free months, Virginia Bunch can be grown from southern New South Wales through to northern Australia. Its spreading habit also makes it an excellent living mulch beneath taller crops such as sweet corn, helping shade the soil while fixing atmospheric nitrogen through its root nodules.

Harvest once the foliage begins to yellow and dry, then cure the pods thoroughly before storage. Fresh or roasted, Virginia Bunch is an excellent variety for home growers wanting both productivity and flavour.

Mentha pulegium

Pennyroyal is a low-growing perennial mint valued for its highly aromatic foliage and traditional use as a companion plant. Forming a spreading mat of small leaves, it is ideal for planting along pathways, between pavers, around garden beds or in containers where its distinctive fragrance is released when brushed or walked upon. During the warmer months, plants produce attractive clusters of lilac to mauve flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators.

A member of the mint family, Pennyroyal has long been grown for its strongly scented essential oils. Traditionally, it has been planted around homes, animal shelters and gardens to help deter ants, mosquitoes, fleas and moths. Its dense growth habit also makes it useful as a living groundcover in suitable climates.

Pennyroyal prefers moist, fertile soil and performs best in partial shade, although it will tolerate full sun where adequate moisture is available. Like many mints, it spreads readily and may be best grown in containers or confined areas if unrestricted growth is not desired.

Important: Pennyroyal contains potent essential oils and is grown primarily as an ornamental, companion and aromatic herb. The concentrated essential oil should not be consumed.

Mentha × piperita

Peppermint is one of the world's most widely recognised and useful herbs, valued for its refreshing aroma, cooling flavour and long history of medicinal use. This vigorous perennial produces lush green foliage rich in aromatic essential oils, particularly menthol, which gives the plant its characteristic scent and taste. Growing best in moist conditions, Peppermint forms spreading clumps that provide a continual harvest of leaves throughout the growing season.

In the kitchen, Peppermint is used fresh or dried in teas, desserts, fruit salads, sauces, confectionery and refreshing drinks. It is the classic flavouring for herbal teas, mouthwashes, candies and many traditional recipes. The leaves can be harvested regularly and used either fresh or preserved for later use.

Peppermint has a long tradition in herbal medicine, where it has been used to support digestive comfort, freshen the breath and promote general wellbeing. It also provides a natural source of potassium and other beneficial plant compounds. The strongly scented foliage attracts pollinators while helping create a fragrant and productive herb garden.

In the vegetable garden, Peppermint is often grown as a companion plant for tomatoes and cabbages and can help attract beneficial insects. Like many mints, it spreads readily and is often best grown in containers or contained garden beds.
