Capparis spinosa
The Caper Bush is a distinctive, slow-growing perennial shrub native to the dry, rocky landscapes of the Mediterranean. It produces attractive white flowers with long purple stamens during the warmer months, followed by edible fruits. The familiar culinary capers are the unopened flower buds, traditionally harvested before opening and preserved in salted wine vinegar or brine. Well adapted to hot, dry conditions, the Caper Bush thrives in poor, well-drained soils and makes an excellent choice for water-wise gardens once established.

Planting / Sowing
For improved germination, mix seed with slightly moist sand and refrigerate (cold stratify) for two weeks before sowing. Sow seed 5–10 mm deep into a free-draining seed-raising mix and keep warm with only moderate moisture, avoiding waterlogging. Germination is naturally slow and often irregular, with low success rates being common. Once established, transplant into a sunny position with very well-drained, rocky or sandy soil. Space plants 1–2 m apart and water sparingly after establishment.

Capsicum annuum
Californian Wonder is a classic heirloom Capsicum and one of the best-known traditional bell pepper varieties. A reliable and heavy producer, plants develop large, blocky fruits with thick, crisp walls and a wonderfully sweet flavour.
Fruits grow to approximately 10 cm and can be harvested green for a fresh, crisp flavour or left on the plant to ripen to a rich glossy red, becoming progressively sweeter as they mature. Fully ripe red Capsicums are particularly rich in vitamin C and carotenoid antioxidants.
An excellent all-purpose variety in the kitchen, Californian Wonder can be eaten fresh in salads, sliced for sandwiches, roasted, grilled, stuffed, sautéed or added to sauces, relishes and preserves. The substantial walls make the fruits particularly good for stuffing and roasting.
Plants thrive in warm conditions with full sun, fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Capsicums are technically tender perennials and can continue producing for several seasons in warm, frost-free climates, although they are commonly grown as annuals.

Carum carvi
Caraway is a hardy biennial, sometimes short-lived perennial, growing to around 60 cm tall. Best known for its aromatic, liquorice-flavoured seeds, it has been cultivated for centuries as both a culinary and medicinal herb. The seeds are widely used to flavour breads, cakes, biscuits, cheeses and herbal teas, while the young roots can be cooked and enjoyed much like parsnips. Delicate white flower umbels attract beneficial insects, making Caraway a valuable companion plant, particularly near peas. Rich in naturally occurring minerals including potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus and iron, it is an attractive and productive addition to the herb garden. Plants typically flower after around 120 days, with mature seed ready for harvest in the second season, approximately 400 days from sowing.

Harvest leaves as required in the first year, then allow plants to flower and set seed during the second season.

Cynara cardunculus
Cardoon is a striking heirloom vegetable closely related to the Globe Artichoke, grown primarily for its broad, fleshy leaf stalks. A tender perennial often grown as an annual, it develops into an impressive architectural plant with deeply divided, silvery-grey foliage and can reach up to approximately 2 m tall.
The young stalks have a distinctive flavour reminiscent of artichoke, with a pleasantly bitter edge. Traditionally, the stems are blanched before harvest to make them paler, sweeter and more tender. Once prepared, they can be braised, baked, fried, gratinated or added to soups and stews and are particularly associated with traditional Mediterranean cooking.
Cardoon also produces spectacular violet-purple, artichoke-like flower heads. The immature flower heads and portions of the flowers have culinary uses in some Mediterranean traditions, while the flowers themselves are highly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects.
The plant has a long history beyond the vegetable garden. Cynara cardunculus has traditionally been used as a digestive and liver herb, and its flowers contain enzymes capable of coagulating milk. Dried Cardoon flowers are still used as a traditional vegetable rennet in the production of certain Portuguese and Spanish cheeses.
Approximately 30 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn in cooler locations
Subtropics: Autumn to early spring
Mild climates: Autumn or early spring
Cold climates: Spring after frost
Planting / Sowing
Sow into trays or individual pots at a depth approximately three times the diameter of the seed. An ideal soil temperature for germination is approximately 13–25°C. Transplant outdoors after approximately 4–6 weeks once seedlings are well established.
Space plants approximately 50–150 cm apart depending on the size desired and available growing space. Grow in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and regular moisture.
For tender, mild stalks, begin blanching approximately 4–6 weeks before harvest. Tie the leaves together and wrap the stalks with paper, cardboard or sacking to exclude light, or mound soil around the stems. Once blanched, cut the stalks at ground level and remove the tougher outer leaves before preparing.
Maturity: approximately 34–35 weeks.
