Petroselinum crispum
Triple Curl Parsley is the classic parsley variety found in gardens and kitchens around the world. First introduced in the mid-1800s, it remains one of the most popular cultivars thanks to its densely curled, bright green foliage, attractive appearance and reliable performance. Plants form neat clumps of finely curled leaves that can be harvested continuously over many months.
A versatile culinary herb, Triple Curl Parsley is widely used fresh in salads, soups, sauces, dressings and as a garnish. While often considered a decorative herb, parsley is also highly nutritious, containing vitamins A, C and K along with minerals such as iron and calcium. Its fresh, clean flavour complements a wide range of savoury dishes and makes it a staple ingredient in many cuisines.
Parsley is a biennial typically grown as an annual, thriving in garden beds, raised beds, containers and kitchen gardens. It performs best in fertile, moisture-retentive soil and benefits from regular harvesting, which encourages fresh new growth.
Maturing in approximately 70–85 days, Triple Curl Parsley provides a long and productive harvest season.

Pisum sativum
Greenfeast, also known as Lincoln, is a classic shelling Pea producing generous crops of plump, sweet green peas. A long-standing favourite in Australian vegetable gardens, it combines excellent flavour with reliable production and good resistance to wilt.
Plants have a compact bush habit, generally reaching around 75–100 cm tall, with pods approximately 5.5–6.5 cm long. Despite being considered a bush variety, plants benefit from some support to keep the vines upright and the developing pods clear of the ground.
The peas are sweet and tender when freshly picked and are excellent eaten straight from the garden or lightly cooked. Use them in soups, stews, risottos, pasta and vegetable dishes, or blanch and freeze surplus harvests for later use.
Greenfeast has been a popular variety in Australia since at least the 1920s and has earned its place as a dependable home-garden pea. The variety is closely associated with the old Lincoln pea, a classic shelling type valued internationally for its flavour and productivity.
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 peas becoming popular much later.

Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Late summer to autumn
Mild climates: Late summer to autumn
Cold climates: Spring, with autumn sowing possible in suitable areas
Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 20–30 mm deep directly where plants are to grow. Peas generally dislike root disturbance, so direct sowing is preferred.
Space seeds approximately 5–10 cm apart. Although Greenfeast has a relatively compact bush habit, provide stakes, pea netting or twiggy branches for support.
Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Peas tolerate a range of soil types but dislike waterlogged conditions. Maintain consistent moisture during flowering and pod development.
Harvest when pods are plump and well filled but before the peas become hard or starchy. Pick regularly to encourage continued production. For seed saving, leave selected pods on healthy plants until fully mature and dry.
Maturity: approximately 95–110 days.

Pisum sativum
Massey Gem is a reliable dwarf shelling Pea producing generous crops of sweet, tender green peas on compact plants reaching approximately 60–75 cm tall. Quick to mature, hardy and disease resistant, it has long been valued as both a home garden and market variety.
The well-filled pods grow approximately 3.5–5 cm long and contain sweet peas with excellent flavour. Enjoy them freshly shelled and lightly cooked, add to soups, stews, risottos and vegetable dishes, or blanch and freeze surplus peas for later use. Massey Gem is particularly well suited to freezing, retaining good flavour and texture.
Its compact growth makes it useful for smaller gardens and exposed sites where tall climbing peas can be difficult to manage. Although a dwarf bush type, plants still benefit from low support such as pea netting, stakes or twiggy branches to keep the crop upright and pods clear of the soil.
Massey Gem performs particularly well in cool conditions and is suitable for sowing from autumn through spring. Its combination of early maturity, hardiness and dependable cropping helped establish it as a popular traditional market-garden variety.
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 peas becoming popular much later.

Pisum sativum
Novella Leafless is an unusual and highly productive Pea distinguished by masses of strong, curling tendrils in place of the broad leaves found on conventional pea plants. This distinctive growth habit allows the plants to intertwine and support one another, forming compact, upright clumps approximately 50 cm tall that generally require no staking.
Plants produce heavy yields of medium-sized pods over a long harvesting season. The sweet green peas can be shelled and eaten fresh or lightly cooked and are excellent in soups, risottos, pasta and vegetable dishes. Surplus peas can also be blanched and frozen.
The abundant young tendrils are edible too. Harvest the tender growing tips for salads, garnishes and stir-fries, where they provide a fresh pea flavour and delicate crunch. Avoid removing too many shoots at once if the plants are being grown primarily for their pea crop.
Leafless or semi-leafless peas were developed by selecting plants in which much of the foliage is transformed into tendrils. Besides their striking appearance, the interlocking tendrils help plants remain upright and improve airflow through the crop.
Novella is quick to mature but continues producing over an extended period when pods are harvested regularly. Its compact size, self-supporting habit and dual-purpose harvest of peas and shoots make it particularly useful in smaller vegetable gardens.
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 peas becoming popular much later.

Pisum sativum
Onward is a classic shelling Pea producing heavy crops of uniform, well-filled green pods. A dependable garden variety, it is valued for its combination of productivity, excellent flavour and reliable performance.
The plump peas have a sweet, rich flavour and tender texture when harvested young. They are excellent freshly shelled and lightly cooked, added to soups, stews, risottos and vegetable dishes, or eaten raw in salads while young and sweet. Surplus peas can also be blanched and frozen for later use.
Onward is a traditional British garden pea that became popular with both home and market gardeners for its generous yields and consistently good-quality pods. Regular picking while the pods are well filled but still tender encourages an extended harvest.
Although peas are natural climbers, even shorter varieties benefit from some support. Pea netting, stakes or twiggy branches help keep the plants upright, improve airflow and make the pods easier to find and harvest.
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 peas becoming popular much later.

Pisum sativum
Purple Podded, also known as Capujiner, is a centuries-old heirloom Pea producing striking deep purple pods that contrast beautifully against green foliage. The vigorous climbing vines can reach approximately 1.5–2 m tall and make an impressive feature when grown over a trellis or other sturdy support.
Inside the colourful pods are plump green peas with a rich, traditional pea flavour. Harvest them young for shelling and eating fresh, or allow the peas to fully mature and dry for storing and later use in soups, stews and other slow-cooked dishes. The purple pods themselves become increasingly fibrous as they mature and are primarily valued for the peas within.
Capujiner peas have a particularly interesting history in the Netherlands, where old forms of this pea have been cultivated for centuries and are traditionally associated with Dutch monastic gardens. Known in Dutch as kapucijners, they became valued as a dependable dried pulse that could be stored through winter, while young peas could also be enjoyed fresh during the growing season.
This dual-purpose nature helped make Capujiner a useful staple crop for generations. Today it remains popular with heritage growers and seed savers for its history, distinctive colouring, flavour and ability to provide both a fresh and storable harvest.

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.
