Phaseolus lunatus
Madagascar Bean is a vigorous perennial Lima Bean producing large, flat, kidney-shaped seeds beautifully mottled in maroon and white. Phaseolus lunatus is an ancient cultivated species, with archaeological evidence of domestication in the Americas stretching back thousands of years.
A vigorous climber particularly well suited to tropical and subtropical conditions, the vines can become substantial and benefit from a strong, permanent trellis or fence. Pods generally contain 2–3 large, colourful beans and tend to develop later in the growing season, rewarding gardeners with a productive crop once the vines are well established.
The mature beans are harvested and dried for storage, then soaked and cooked for use in soups, stews, curries and other dishes. Like all Lima Beans, Madagascar Beans must be thoroughly cooked before eating and should never be eaten raw or undercooked, as the raw seeds naturally contain cyanogenic glycosides that are broken down through proper preparation and cooking.
In warm, frost-free climates the plants can persist for several years, making Madagascar Bean an excellent perennial addition to productive subtropical and tropical gardens.

When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Spring to autumn
Subtropics: Spring to summer
Mild climates: Spring to early summer
Cold climates: Spring after frost where the season is sufficiently long and warm
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow once the soil has warmed, approximately 2–3 cm deep. Keep moist during germination but avoid waterlogged soil.
Space plants approximately 50–75 cm apart and provide a strong trellis, fence or other climbing structure. Allow pods to mature and dry on the vine before harvesting beans intended for storage. Protect perennial vines from frost in cooler locations.

Lagenaria siceraria
Despite its common name, New Guinea Bean is not a bean at all but a vigorous edible gourd closely related to bottle gourds. The fast-growing annual vines produce remarkable long, pale green fruits that can eventually reach up to 2 m in length when allowed to mature.
For eating, fruits are harvested very young at approximately 10–20 cm long, while the skin and flesh are still tender. At this stage they can be cooked much like zucchini, with a mild flavour suited to stir-fries, curries, soups and other savoury dishes. As the fruit matures, the outer shell becomes increasingly hard and the flesh is no longer suitable for use as a tender vegetable.
New Guinea Bean is a vigorous warm-season climber and requires plenty of room and a very strong trellis or other support. It thrives in full sun, fertile soil and warm conditions with regular moisture during active growth and fruiting.

Mucuna sp.
Velvet Bean is a vigorous tropical legume producing fast-growing vines that can reach approximately 6 m in suitable conditions. A heavy-bearing climber, it develops rounded pods approximately 15 × 75 mm, with each pod containing up to four large seeds.
Well suited to tropical and warm subtropical gardens, Velvet Bean produces dense foliage and vigorous growth and requires a strong trellis, fence or other substantial support. As a legume, it is also valued as a green manure and cover crop, producing abundant biomass and helping improve soil through nitrogen fixation.
Young, immature pods of some cultivated Mucuna types have traditionally been eaten cooked. However, Mucuna species and varieties differ considerably in their levels of naturally occurring compounds, particularly L-DOPA, so identification of the particular strain is important when it is being grown for food rather than as a cover crop.
Velvet Bean has a long history in traditional medicine, particularly Mucuna pruriens, whose mature seeds are naturally rich in L-DOPA, a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine. The seeds have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for nervous system support, reproductive health and as a restorative tonic.

Beta vulgaris
Bull's Blood Beetroot is a striking heirloom variety grown as much for its spectacular foliage as for its delicious roots. The deep red-purple leaves intensify in colour as they mature, making this one of the most popular varieties for baby leaf production, salad mixes and ornamental edible gardens. The young leaves have a rich earthy flavour and add dramatic colour to fresh salads and garnishes.
Equally rewarding as a root crop, Bull's Blood produces attractive dark red beets with distinctive internal zoning. Roots can be harvested young as tender baby beets or left to mature to full size. For the sweetest flavour and best texture, harvest roots while still relatively small, before they have a chance to become woody.
Fast growing and versatile, Bull's Blood can be harvested at multiple stages, providing baby leaves in as little as 35 days and mature roots in approximately 58 days. Its combination of ornamental beauty, flavour and productivity has made it a favourite among home gardeners, market growers and chefs alike.

The unique colouring makes it a favourite for salads, roasting, pickling and gourmet presentation.
In addition to its colourful roots, Chioggia produces tender green leaves that can be harvested young as baby salad greens or cooked like silverbeet. The foliage has a mild, pleasant flavour and provides an additional harvest while the roots develop.
Originating from the coastal town of Chioggia near Venice, this heirloom variety has been grown in Italy since the nineteenth century. It is valued for its sweetness, attractive appearance and reliable performance in the home garden.

Golden Beetroot is a distinctive heirloom variety producing smooth golden-yellow roots with exceptional sweetness and tenderness. Unlike many beetroot varieties, the roots remain mild and succulent even as they mature, with little tendency to become fibrous or woody.
