Beta vulgaris
Melbourne Early Slowbolt, also known as Boltardy, is a dependable heirloom beetroot variety valued for its resistance to bolting and excellent performance through the cooler months. Producing smooth globe-shaped roots with uniform deep red flesh, it delivers fine flavour, tender texture and reliable yields across a wide range of growing conditions.
The roots are ringless, richly coloured and ideal for fresh use, roasting, pickling or juicing. They can also be harvested early as sweet and tender baby beets, making this a versatile variety for gardeners who enjoy harvesting crops at different stages of maturity. The leafy tops are equally useful and can be picked young for salads or cooked as a nutritious leafy green.
A favourite among home gardeners for many decades, Melbourne Early Slowbolt continues producing well through winter and is less likely to run to seed during periods of fluctuating temperatures than many traditional beetroot varieties.

Microgreens & Baby Leaf Production: Year round Australia-wide
Tropics: March to August
Subtropics: February to September
Mild climates: February to October
Cold climates: September to April
Planting / Sowing
For baby leaf production, sow seed densely in trays, boxes or garden beds and harvest leaves when they reach 8–15 cm tall. For mature roots, sow seed directly into prepared soil 10–15 mm deep and thin seedlings to 10 cm apart. Beetroot performs best when direct sown and prefers not to have its roots disturbed.
Grow in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing period for the best root development and flavour. Harvest baby beets as desired or allow roots to mature fully in approximately 57–60 days.
Baby Leaf and Microgreens offer a simple and nutritious way to add fresh homegrown greens, vitamins and minerals to your daily diet.

Beta vulgaris
Mix Of Colours is a colourful blend of beetroot varieties producing roots in deep red, golden yellow, white and striking pink-and-white striped forms. The mixture brings together different flavours, colours and textures for a varied harvest from a single sowing.
Harvest the roots at baby size for pickling, eating whole or grating raw into salads, or allow them to reach full size for roasting, juicing, soups and preserving. The young leaves are also excellent eating and can be harvested while the roots develop, used fresh in salads or cooked like other leafy greens.
Beetroot has its origins around northern Africa and the Mediterranean and has been cultivated since ancient times, initially for its leaves rather than its roots. Both roots and leaves are nutritious, with the greens particularly rich in vitamin C. Plants perform best in fertile soil with a pH above 6 and consistent moisture throughout root development.

Beta vulgaris
Red Mammoth, often known as Mangel Beet or Fodder Beet, is a traditional variety grown for both human consumption and animal feed. Producing large, elongated pointed roots with attractive red-tinted flesh, this vigorous beet is highly productive and well suited to gardeners wanting a dual-purpose crop.
The young leafy tops can be harvested and used as nutritious greens, either fresh or cooked like silverbeet. As the plants mature, the roots develop into large, sweet beets suitable for roasting, soups, stews and storage. Their substantial size and high yields have also made them a popular fodder crop for livestock for generations.
Mangels have a long agricultural history throughout Europe and Australia, where they were traditionally grown to provide valuable winter feed for cattle, sheep and pigs. Red Mammoth combines this productive heritage with excellent garden performance, making it an interesting and useful addition to the home vegetable patch.

Sugarbeet is a distinctive white-rooted beet grown for its exceptionally high sugar content, crisp texture and impressive productivity. Producing large conical roots with creamy white flesh, it offers a mild, sweet flavour without the earthy notes or deep pigments associated with traditional red beetroot varieties.
Originally developed as a commercial sugar crop, Sugarbeet has been cultivated throughout Europe and North America for more than two centuries and remains one of the world's most important sources of sugar production. In the home garden it serves as a versatile dual-purpose crop, suitable for cooking, stock feed and fresh use.
The large roots can be roasted, boiled or grated raw into salads, while their mild flavour makes them particularly useful in dishes where the strong colour and flavour of red beetroot may be undesirable. Plants produce vigorous leafy tops and demonstrate excellent cold tolerance, continuing to perform well through cooler weather.

Yellow Eckendorf, often known as Yellow Mangel or Fodder Beet, is a highly productive heritage variety grown for its large roots and abundant leafy tops. Producing substantial orange-yellow roots with golden flesh, it is valued as both a useful livestock fodder crop and a versatile garden vegetable.
The roots are sweet, nutritious and can be cooked and eaten much like traditional beetroot, while the large leafy tops may be harvested and used as greens. Yellow Eckendorf is renowned for its vigorous growth, heavy yields and ability to produce large roots even in less-than-perfect conditions.
Traditionally grown throughout Europe and Australia as a winter feed crop, this variety remains popular with smallholders, hobby farmers and home gardeners seeking a productive dual-purpose crop. Its large roots store well and can provide a valuable source of feed or food through the cooler months.

Ammi majus
A graceful and elegant flowering annual prized for its large, lacy umbels of pure white blooms. Often called Bishop's Flower, False Queen Anne's Lace or Laceflower, Ammi majus closely resembles the familiar Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus carota) but is generally considered a more garden-friendly alternative. Unlike Daucus carota, Ammi produces entirely white flower heads without the characteristic central dark floret and is not regarded as a troublesome weed.
A member of the Apiaceae family, this easy-to-grow plant creates clouds of delicate flowers held above fine, fern-like foliage, bringing movement, softness and structure to garden beds. It is highly valued as a cut flower, both fresh and dried, with excellent vase life at flowering and seed stages alike. Reaching 1–2 metres in height, plants can be maintained at around 1 metre by pinching or removing the central leading stem. Drought tolerant once established and highly attractive to bees, hoverflies and other beneficial insects, Ammi is an outstanding pollinator plant and readily self-sows to return year after year.
Historically, Ammi majus has been used in Indian cuisine as an aromatic spice and has a long history of traditional medicinal use. Today it is most widely grown as an ornamental garden plant, cut flower and pollinator attractant.

Momordica charantia
Jounpuri Bitter Melon is a vigorous and highly productive climbing vine producing abundant crops of small, warty fruits measuring approximately 10–14 cm in length. Growing to around 5 metres, this traditional variety is well suited to trellises, fences and other supports where its rapid growth can be accommodated.
Widely grown throughout Asia, Bitter Melon is valued both as a vegetable and for its long history of use in traditional food cultures. The immature fruits are commonly used in curries, stir-fries, soups and stuffed dishes, where their distinctive bitter flavour becomes milder when cooked. Young shoots and leaves may also be harvested and cooked as a leafy green.
A warm-season crop, Jounpuri thrives in hot, humid conditions and rewards gardeners with heavy harvests throughout summer and autumn. Regular picking encourages continued flowering and fruit production.
