Glycine max
Black Soy Bean is a productive heirloom variety producing striking black seeds with a creamy white interior. The upright bush plants grow to around 1 metre tall and yield heavily with pods that dry naturally on the plant. Black soy beans have a rich, slightly sweeter flavour than yellow soy beans and can be cooked in much the same way as other dried beans. They are excellent in soups, stews, curries, salads and grain bowls, and are also traditionally used in East Asian cuisine. As a legume, soy beans also help improve soil fertility by fixing nitrogen.

Mentha spicata
Spearmint is a classic perennial culinary herb with fresh, sweet leaves and the unmistakable cooling mint flavour. Considered one of the best mints for cooking, it pairs beautifully with carrots, peas, potatoes and lamb, and is the traditional choice for homemade mint sauce.
Fresh leaves are also excellent in salads, teas, cold drinks, desserts and Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes. Plants develop into vigorous leafy clumps and produce attractive spikes of pale purple flowers that are highly appealing to bees and other pollinating insects.
A hardy and productive perennial, Spearmint spreads readily once established. Growing in pots or contained garden beds is a good option where you want to keep its enthusiastic growth under control.

Spinacia oleracea
Amsterdam Giant is a vigorous spinach producing large, dark green leaves with a tender texture and rich flavour. It grows well across a wide range of soils provided they are fertile, consistently moist and well drained, and is best grown through the cooler months rather than during the hottest part of the year.
Spinach originated in ancient Persia and spread through Asia and Europe before becoming an important cool-season leafy vegetable worldwide. The young leaves can be eaten raw, while larger leaves are excellent steamed, sautéed, wilted into curries and pasta, or added to soups, pies and egg dishes.
Spinach is nutrient-rich, providing vitamins A, C and K, folate, iron, calcium and fibre. It also contains carotenoids, flavonoids and other polyphenols with antioxidant activity, along with naturally occurring thylakoids that have been studied for their potential effects on satiety and appetite regulation.
Seed count: approximately 110 seeds per gram.
Approximately 200 seeds per packet.

Planting / Sowing
Sow directly approximately 1–2 cm deep into fertile, well-drained soil. Space plants approximately 10–15 cm apart with 25–30 cm between rows, or sow more densely for baby leaf production.
Keep consistently moist and grow in full sun during cool weather or partial shade as conditions warm. Harvest individual outer leaves for an extended crop or cut whole plants once they reach the desired size. Avoid sowing during hot weather as heat and increasing day length encourage plants to bolt.

Spinacia oleracea
Bloomsdale Long Standing is a classic spinach with large, glossy, thick dark green leaves that are deeply crinkled and carried on compact, upright plants. Heavy yielding and excellent quality, it has long been popular with both home gardeners and market growers.
An old American heirloom, Bloomsdale traces back to the 19th century and was further selected for slower bolting, giving rise to the Long Standing strain. It is more tolerant of both heat and cold than many spinach varieties and adapts to a wide range of soils when kept fertile and consistently moist.
The substantial leaves have a rich spinach flavour and can be harvested young for salads or allowed to mature for steaming, sautéing, soups, pies and other cooked dishes. Spinach is naturally rich in vitamins A, C and K, folate and carotenoids.
Seed count: approximately 80 seeds per gram.
Approximately 200 seeds per packet.

Basella alba var. rubra
Ceylon Red Stem Spinach, also known as Malabar Spinach or Indian Running Spinach, is a vigorous tropical vine grown for its attractive red stems and abundant, glossy green leaves. Unlike true spinach, this heat-loving perennial thrives through the hottest months of the year, making it an excellent summer substitute when traditional leafy greens struggle.
The tender young leaves are delicious fresh in salads, while larger leaves and shoots can be lightly cooked, added to stir-fries or used in soups and stews. As the leaves mature they develop a characteristic mucilaginous texture, traditionally valued for naturally thickening soups and broths. Rich in vitamins A and C, iron, calcium and chlorophyll, Malabar Spinach is both highly nutritious and productive.
Plants can be trained up trellises, fences and arches or allowed to trail across the ground as a living mulch. In tropical and subtropical climates it behaves as a hardy perennial, while in cooler regions it is commonly grown as a warm-season annual.

Basella alba
Ceylon Spinach, also known as Malabar Spinach or Indian Running Spinach, is a vigorous tropical vine grown for its glossy, succulent leaves and exceptional heat tolerance. Unlike true spinach, this productive leafy green thrives throughout the hottest months of the year, making it an ideal summer substitute when traditional salad greens and spinach struggle.
The tender young leaves are delicious fresh in salads, while mature leaves and shoots are excellent in stir-fries, soups, curries and steamed vegetable dishes. Rich in chlorophyll and highly nutritious, Ceylon Spinach provides a continuous supply of leafy greens throughout the growing season. As the leaves mature they develop a slightly thickening quality that is particularly valued in soups and stews.
This versatile plant can be trained up trellises, fences and arches or allowed to trail across the ground as an attractive edible groundcover. In tropical and subtropical climates it behaves as a hardy perennial, while in cooler regions it is commonly grown as a warm-season annual.

Amaranthus blitum
A reliable, fast growing leafy green traditionally grown as a vegetable rather than an ornamental. Valued for its tender, mild flavoured leaves, Amaranthus blitum is well suited to regular cut and come again harvest and is commonly used as a spinach substitute, either fresh when young or lightly cooked. Plants form a lower, more spreading habit than ornamental amaranths and cope well with heat once established. Easy to grow in warm conditions, it is a productive, practical choice for kitchen gardens focused on yield and versatility rather than show.
450 seeds per packet
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly into well drained soil in full sun once the weather has warmed. In warm areas, sow from early spring. In cooler areas, wait until late spring after frost risk has passed. Sow seed shallowly and keep moist until germination. Thin or space plants 20 to 30 cm apart for leaf harvest, or closer for ongoing cut and come again picking. Young leaves can be harvested as microgreens in 7 to 10 days, or as salad greens from around 16 to 25 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
Amaranthus tricolor
Chinese Tricolor is a striking leaf amaranth grown for its intensely coloured foliage. Young leaves develop vivid fuchsia, pink and red tones, while mature foliage combines these colours with green, creating an ornamental plant that is equally useful in the kitchen.
The young leaves are mild and tender and can be harvested for salads, microgreens and garnishes, while larger leaves can be steamed, sautéed or cooked much like spinach. Fast growing and heat tolerant, it is particularly valuable as a warm-season alternative to true spinach.
Amaranthus tricolor has a long history as a leafy vegetable throughout South and Southeast Asia, where numerous colourful forms are grown for their nutritious leaves and tender stems. It is also known as Chinese spinach, although botanically it is an amaranth rather than a true spinach.
Approximately 450 seeds per packet.
