Fagopyrum esculentum
Buckwheat is an ancient grain-like seed from the Polygonaceae family, cultivated for over 8,000 years throughout Europe and Asia. Fast growing and highly versatile, it can be grown for its nutritious edible seeds or as an outstanding green manure and cover crop. Its long taproot helps draw nutrients from deep within the soil profile, returning them to the surface as the plants break down. Buckwheat produces abundant biomass, suppresses weeds, and is particularly valuable between vegetable crops. The masses of delicate white flowers are highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects, making it an excellent addition to productive gardens.

Pisum sativum
Climbing Sugarsnap is a vigorous Pea producing crisp, sweet, stringless edible pods on tall vines reaching approximately 2 m. Productive and frost resistant, it is an excellent cool-season crop that makes good use of vertical growing space.
The plump pods grow to approximately 7 cm long and are eaten whole, including the developing peas inside. They have a deliciously sweet flavour and juicy crunch and can be eaten straight from the garden, sliced into salads or lightly steamed or stir-fried.
Unlike snow peas, which are harvested while their pods are still flat, sugarsnaps are allowed to fill out until the pods become rounded and succulent. Pick while they remain bright, crisp and tender for the best eating quality.
The vigorous vines require a sturdy trellis, fence or netting from an early stage. Climbing peas generally produce over a longer period than dwarf forms, and regular harvesting encourages continued flowering and pod development.
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 were later selected for their tender, sweet pods.
Seed count: approximately 3–5 seeds/g
Approximately 100 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
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 and provide a strong trellis, netting or fence at sowing time. Vines can reach approximately 2 m tall and require reliable support as they mature.
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 the pods are plump and well filled but still crisp and tender. Pick regularly to encourage continued production. For seed saving, leave selected pods on healthy plants until fully mature and dry.
Maturity: approximately 62–72 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, we cannot send Pea seeds to Tasmania and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
Pisum sativum
Bush Sugarsnap is a compact, early-producing Pea grown for its sweet, crisp, completely edible pods. Unlike traditional shelling peas or flat snow peas, sugarsnaps are harvested once the pods have filled out, giving them their characteristic juicy crunch and plump appearance.
The stringless pods grow to approximately 7.5 cm long and have an exceptionally sweet, fresh pea flavour. Eat them straight from the garden, slice into salads or serve with dips, or lightly steam or stir-fry them. Both the crisp pod and the developing peas inside are eaten together.
The short bush habit makes this variety particularly useful for small vegetable gardens, raised beds and containers. Plants begin producing relatively early and require considerably less support than tall climbing peas, although a few short stakes or twiggy branches can help keep heavily laden plants upright.
Unlike snow peas, which are harvested while the pods are still flat, sugarsnaps are best picked once the pods become rounded and the peas inside are clearly developing, but while the entire pod remains crisp and tender. Regular harvesting encourages continued flowering and production.
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 were later selected for their tender, sweet pods.

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.

Daucus carota subsp. sativus
All Seasons is a reliable Australian favourite and a particularly popular Carrot variety in Queensland and New South Wales. Producing smooth, well-shaped orange roots approximately 20 cm long, it is valued for its adaptability, good flavour and resistance to virus disease.
The crisp, sweet roots are excellent eaten fresh, grated into salads, roasted, steamed, juiced or added to soups, stews and other cooked dishes. Young thinnings can be harvested and eaten as baby carrots rather than wasted.
Carrots are naturally rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A, as well as providing fibre and a range of other carotenoids and nutrients. Carrots also have a long history of cultivation and medicinal use, with their ancestors originating across Central and Western Asia before becoming an important vegetable crop throughout Europe and eventually the world.
All Seasons performs well across a broad planting window and is particularly useful in warmer Australian climates. For the straightest, best-shaped roots, grow in deeply cultivated, loose, friable soil free from stones and fresh manure.
Seed count: approximately 600–900 seeds/g
Approximately 300 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Most of the year, with best results autumn to spring
Mild climates: Spring to autumn
Cold climates: Spring to early autumn, avoiding periods of heavy frost
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow, approximately 5–10 mm deep. Carrots dislike transplanting. Keep the surface consistently moist until germination; covering the seed bed with hessian or similar material can help retain moisture, but remove it promptly once seedlings begin to emerge so they receive adequate light.
Thin seedlings to approximately 2–5 cm apart, using the young thinnings as baby carrots. Maintain even moisture as roots develop to help prevent splitting and encourage tender growth.
Rotate carrot crops around the garden rather than repeatedly growing them in the same position to help reduce the build-up of soil-borne pests and diseases.
Maturity: approximately 65–80 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
Beta vulgaris
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. Their bright golden flesh adds colour and variety to the kitchen while offering the same versatility as traditional red beetroot.
One of the greatest advantages of Golden Beetroot is that it does not stain when handled or prepared, making it a popular choice for salads, roasting, pickling and cooking. The attractive leafy tops are also highly productive and can be harvested young as baby salad greens or cooked like spinach, where their excellent flavour truly shines.
Fast growing and reliable, Golden Beetroot provides multiple harvests from a single planting. The tender leaves can be picked early while the roots develop, with mature roots ready in approximately 55 days.

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.

Lablab purpureus
Highworth Lab Lab is a vigorous, warm-season legume producing abundant growth and excellent ground cover. Grown as an annual in cooler regions and capable of persisting longer in warm climates, it is particularly useful for green manure, cover cropping, forage and soil improvement.
Earlier maturing than Rongai, Highworth is a black-seeded variety with attractive purple flowers. Introduced to Australia from southern India in 1973, it has become a useful forage and cover crop for warmer growing regions.
Its vigorous creeping growth quickly produces substantial biomass, helping suppress weeds, protect exposed soil and contribute organic matter. As a legume, Lab Lab forms a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in root nodules, helping introduce biologically fixed nitrogen into the growing system.
The young, immature pods are also traditionally eaten when thoroughly cooked. Mature and raw beans should not be eaten without appropriate preparation.
