Planting / Sowing
For microgreens, sow seed densely over a moist growing medium and cover lightly with fine seed-raising mix. Silverbeet seed is naturally contained within small corky seed clusters, which can produce more than one seedling. Soaking seed for a few hours before sowing may help encourage faster, more even germination.
For baby leaf production, sow more thinly in trays, containers or garden beds. Harvest leaves when approximately 8–15 cm tall, cutting above the growing point where possible to encourage further growth and repeated harvests.

Silybum marianum
Milk Thistle, also known as St. Mary's Thistle, is a striking biennial herb with bold, glossy green leaves marbled with distinctive white markings and large vibrant purple flower heads. Growing up to 2 m tall, it creates a dramatic feature in herb gardens, cottage gardens and wildlife plantings. The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects throughout the warmer months.
For centuries, Milk Thistle has been cultivated as both a medicinal and edible plant. The seeds are traditionally used in herbal preparations, particularly in relation to liver health. Young leaves, once carefully prepared to remove the spines, and flower stems have also been eaten as a vegetable, while the immature flower buds may be prepared similarly to globe artichokes. The plant produces a characteristic milky white sap when cut, giving rise to its common name.

Echinochloa esculenta
Japanese Millet is a fast-growing annual grass valued for its ability to produce large amounts of lush green growth and bulky organic matter in a relatively short period. Vigorous and adaptable, it is an excellent choice for green manure, cover cropping, grazing and adding biomass to composting systems.
Particularly well suited to warm and moist conditions, Japanese Millet establishes rapidly and can help protect bare soil, suppress weeds and contribute valuable organic matter when cut and incorporated back into the ground. It can also be grazed and has good regrowth following cutting or grazing when conditions are favourable.
Japanese Millet thrives during the warmer months and is especially useful in tropical and subtropical regions, where it can be sown with the onset of the wet season. Its rapid growth makes it a practical option for filling gaps between crops, establishing temporary forage or producing biomass before the next planting.
