(Solanum tuberosum)
Nicola is a classic, golden-skinned potato with pale yellow flesh and a firm, waxy texture. Renowned for its ability to hold shape, it is ideal for boiling, salads, steaming, and roasting where a clean slice matters. Nicola performs reliably in well-drained, fertile soil under full sun, producing consistent, medium-sized tubers. Harvest once plants flower and skins have set.
Before planting, slice larger tubers into sections, making sure each piece carries at least one or two strong eyes (sprouts). Allow the cut surfaces to dry and callous over for a day or two to reduce the risk of rotting in the soil. Avoid cutting pieces too small — a good chunk of tuber helps support strong early growth and better yields.
Potatoes are propagated from “seed potatoes” — whole tubers or pieces specifically grown for planting. Certified seed potatoes are produced under controlled conditions to ensure varietal purity and freedom from disease. They offer stronger vigour and higher yields compared to supermarket potatoes, making them the preferred choice for reliable, healthy crops.

A diverse selection of leafy greens, herbs, grasses and legumes chosen to create a productive living forage area for poultry. Suitable for chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, the mix provides fresh vegetation to peck, graze and scratch through while encouraging the natural foraging behaviours that keep a flock active and engaged.
The mix usually includes Amaranth, Buckwheat, Chia, Chicory, Clover, Cocksfoot Savvy, Lucerne, Medic, Millet, Salad Mallow, Silverbeet, Sorrel, Spinach and Vetch, subject to seasonal availability. Many of the young leaves are useful pickings for us too.
Growing forage for poultry is a practical way to add diversity to their diet while making productive use of garden or paddock space. In return, poultry contribute manure, scratch through organic matter and help cycle nutrients back into the soil.
For the best results, allow plants to establish well before introducing birds. Rotational foraging works particularly well. Divide the growing area into sections and give birds access to one section at a time while the others recover. This helps prevent overgrazing, protects the soil and provides a more consistent supply of fresh greens.
Plant a new area every few weeks for succession and a continuing supply of forage.

Ratibida columnifera
Mexican Hat is a distinctive North American perennial wildflower producing unusual daisy-like blooms with long, drooping red and yellow petals surrounding a prominent, elongated central cone. The flower's characteristic sombrero-like shape gives this striking member of the Asteraceae family its common name.
Hardy and fast growing, Prairie Coneflower develops upright stems above finely divided grey-green foliage and flowers generously over a long period. The blooms attract bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects and make unusual, long-lasting cut flowers. Plants are also generally avoided by deer.
Exceptionally drought tolerant once established, Mexican Hat thrives in full sun and adapts to a wide range of soils, including relatively poor and dry conditions. It can self-seed readily and spread vigorously in favourable conditions, so remove spent seed heads if you wish to limit its spread.
The plant has a history of traditional use by Indigenous peoples of North America, including preparations made from the leaves and stems. It is best grown as an ornamental rather than used medicinally without appropriate knowledge of its preparation and use.

Cucurbita maxima
Atlantic Giant is the legendary giant Pumpkin grown by gardeners around the world in pursuit of truly enormous fruit. Famous for producing exhibition-sized pumpkins and forming the genetic foundation of many record-breaking giants, this is the variety to grow when ordinary pumpkins simply aren’t ambitious enough.
The huge fruits develop pale orange to reddish-orange skin and, with plenty of space, water and nutrition, can reach extraordinary weights. While Atlantic Giant is edible, eating quality is not its greatest strength. The flesh tends to be less sweet and fine-textured than varieties bred specifically for the kitchen, although surplus fruit can be cooked or used as stock feed.
Atlantic Giant was developed by Canadian grower Howard Dill from giant Cucurbita maxima genetics, with decades of selection for increasingly large fruit. It became the benchmark variety for competitive giant-pumpkin growing and remains closely associated with pumpkin-growing competitions around the world.
Plants are vigorous, sprawling vines requiring considerable room. For gardeners chasing maximum size, fruit are usually thinned so the plant directs its resources into just one or two pumpkins. For everyone else, it is simply a spectacular and entertaining pumpkin to grow, particularly with children.
Pumpkins originated in the Americas and have been cultivated for thousands of years. Cucurbita maxima includes some of the largest-fruited members of the pumpkin family as well as many familiar eating and storage varieties.
Seed count: approximately 2 seeds/g
Approximately 6 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: During the warm season, avoiding the wettest periods where disease pressure is high
Subtropics: Spring to early summer
Mild climates: Spring to early summer after frost
Cold climates: Spring after all danger of frost; start indoors where the growing season is short
Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 20–30 mm deep directly into warm, prepared soil after all danger of frost has passed, or raise seedlings for transplanting once conditions are reliably warm.
Choose a position in full sun with deep, fertile, well-drained soil and plenty of room for the vigorous vines to spread. Allow at least 2–3 m between plants, with considerably more space beneficial when growing for maximum fruit size.
Keep plants consistently watered, particularly during flowering and rapid fruit development, but avoid regularly wetting the foliage where possible.
For exhibition-sized pumpkins, select a well-positioned developing fruit and remove competing fruit so the vine can concentrate its energy. Provide a dry surface beneath the developing pumpkin and take care not to damage the stem as the fruit expands.
Harvest once the fruit has fully matured and the stem has hardened. Cut with a generous section of stem attached rather than lifting the pumpkin by its stalk.
Maturity: approximately 120 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
Cucurbita maxima
Baby Blue is an attractive small to medium-sized Pumpkin producing beautifully ribbed fruit with distinctive blue-grey skin. Inside, the dense orange flesh is fine textured, sweet and richly flavoured, making this an excellent culinary pumpkin in a particularly manageable size.
The firm flesh is superb roasted, where its natural sweetness becomes more concentrated, and is equally good in soups, curries, baking and smooth purées. Its dense texture also makes it useful for recipes where a pumpkin with less watery flesh is preferred.
Plants are vigorous and productive, producing attractive, relatively uniform fruits. Baby Blue combines excellent eating quality with good storage potential, making it a useful choice for gardeners who want the flavour and keeping qualities of a larger Cucurbita maxima pumpkin without oversized fruit.
Pumpkins originated in the Americas and have been cultivated for thousands of years. Cucurbita maxima includes an extraordinary diversity of pumpkins, from compact culinary varieties to enormous exhibition types, with many prized for their dense flesh, sweetness and ability to store through winter.
Baby Blue performs best in warm conditions with plenty of sunlight, fertile soil and room for its vines to spread. Mature fruits have good keeping quality when harvested fully ripe and properly cured.
Seed count: approximately 5 seeds/g
Approximately 8 seeds per packet

Grow in full sun in rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Allow approximately 1–2 m between plants and provide plenty of additional room for the vigorous vines to spread.
Keep plants consistently watered during active growth, flowering and fruit development, watering deeply at soil level where possible rather than regularly wetting the foliage.
Harvest once the fruits have developed their full blue-grey colour, the skin has hardened and the stem begins to dry. Cut pumpkins from the vine with a generous section of stem attached rather than lifting them by the stalk.
For longer storage, cure mature pumpkins in a warm, dry, well-ventilated position before moving them to a cool, dry storage area.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
Cucurbita maxima
Big Max is a classic giant Pumpkin producing enormous, almost round fruits with red-orange skin and yellow-orange flesh. Fruits may flatten slightly where they rest on the ground and develop a somewhat rough surface as they mature, giving them the unmistakable appearance of an oversized traditional pumpkin.
Grown primarily for its impressive size, Big Max is a favourite for exhibitions, giant-pumpkin competitions and spectacular Halloween carving. Under excellent conditions fruits can reach extraordinary proportions, with specimens historically reported at more than 200 kg.
Unlike some pumpkins selected purely for exhibition size, Big Max also has useful edible flesh. The yellow-orange flesh can be roasted or used in soups and baking and is particularly suited to pies and other sweet pumpkin recipes. For the best culinary quality, smaller and moderately sized fruits are generally preferable to those pushed to extreme exhibition size.
Big Max is an old American giant-pumpkin variety that became popular with home gardeners during the 20th century. While modern competitive giants are now dominated by Atlantic Giant genetics, Big Max remains a favourite for gardeners wanting very large, colourful pumpkins without the intensive cultivation associated with record-breaking exhibition varieties.
Pumpkins originated in the Americas and have been cultivated for thousands of years. Cucurbita maxima includes an extraordinary range of forms, from richly flavoured culinary pumpkins to some of the largest fruits produced by any cultivated plant.

Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 20–30 mm deep directly into warm, prepared soil after all danger of frost has passed, or raise seedlings for transplanting once conditions are reliably warm.
Grow in full sun in deep, fertile, well-drained soil and allow considerable room for the vigorous vines to spread. Space plants approximately 2 m apart, with additional room beneficial when growing for exceptionally large fruit.
Maintain consistent moisture during active growth and particularly while fruits are rapidly expanding. Water deeply at soil level where possible rather than regularly wetting the foliage.
For exhibition-sized pumpkins, select one or two well-positioned young fruits and remove competing fruit so the plant can direct more energy into their development. Place a dry board, tile or thick layer of straw beneath developing pumpkins to keep them off damp soil.
Harvest once the skin has developed its mature red-orange colour and hardened and the stem begins to dry. Cut from the vine with a generous section of stem attached.
Maturity: approximately 110–120 days.

Cucurbita moschata
Black J.A.P, now commonly referred to as Black Kent, is a dark-skinned heirloom Pumpkin prized for its dense orange flesh, exceptionally rich flavour and excellent keeping qualities. Fruits are medium to large with deep green to almost black skin, often marked with lighter patches or subtle striping.
The flesh is sweet, fine textured and relatively dry, making this an outstanding all-purpose eating pumpkin. It is particularly good roasted, where the flesh becomes rich and caramelised, and is equally suited to soups, curries, baking, mashing and other savoury dishes.
Black J.A.P belongs to the broader group of pumpkins traditionally known in Australia as Jap pumpkins and now commonly sold as Kent. The name “Jap” is an old Australian varietal name believed to relate to the pumpkin's association with Japanese or kabocha-type pumpkins. Kent has increasingly become the preferred name in contemporary Australian horticulture and retail.
As a Cucurbita moschata, Black Kent thrives in warm conditions and vigorous vines require plenty of room to spread. This species also tends to perform particularly well in warmer and more humid climates compared with many Cucurbita maxima varieties.
One of Black Kent's great strengths is its storage life. Allow fruits to mature completely on the vine and cure them properly after harvest, and they can remain in excellent condition for several months.
Pumpkins originated in the Americas and have been cultivated for thousands of years. Cucurbita moschata includes many important warm-climate pumpkins and squashes, including butternut types, and is particularly valued for flavour, productivity and storage.

Cucurbita moschata
Blanc du Maroc is a distinctive Moroccan heirloom Pumpkin producing handsome medium-sized fruits with smooth, creamy green-white skin and subtle ribbing. The fruits have an unusual acorn-like shape and dense orange flesh, combining striking ornamental qualities with excellent eating.
The flesh is sweet, firm and richly coloured, making it particularly good for roasting and baking. It can also be used in soups, curries, stews and purées, where its dense texture and natural sweetness work especially well.
Originating in Morocco, Blanc du Maroc forms part of a long tradition of pumpkin and squash cultivation across North Africa. Cucurbita moschata varieties are particularly well adapted to warm growing conditions and are valued in many regions for their productivity, culinary versatility and ability to cope with heat.
Plants are vigorous, sprawling vines capable of extending several metres. Their large, lobed leaves provide substantial ground cover, helping shade the soil and suppress weeds. Large yellow flowers appear along the vines and are highly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects.
Blanc du Maroc thrives in warm weather and full sun. Although the vines require considerable space when allowed to ramble, they can also be trained onto a suitably strong structure where garden space is limited.
Pumpkins originated in the Americas and have been cultivated for thousands of years before spreading throughout the world. Cucurbita moschata includes many important warm-climate pumpkins and squashes and is particularly valued for its adaptability, flavour and keeping qualities.
