Cucumis sativus
Muncher Burpless is a tender, productive slicing Cucumber producing smooth green fruits approximately 17 cm long. Crisp, juicy and pleasantly mild, the fruits are free from bitterness and are particularly good for gardeners looking for a sweet, easy-eating cucumber.
The thin, tender skin means fruits can be eaten without peeling, while the crisp flesh is excellent sliced into salads and sandwiches, eaten straight from the garden or served with dips. Muncher is also suitable for pickling, particularly when the fruits are harvested young and small.
The term “burpless” is traditionally used for mild cucumber varieties with low bitterness and tender skin. Muncher combines these eating qualities with good garden performance and useful resistance to cucumber mosaic virus.
Plants are vigorous and productive through warm weather and can be allowed to ramble along the ground or trained vertically onto a trellis. Trellising improves airflow, saves space and helps produce clean, straight fruits that are easy to harvest.
Approximately 22 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Spring to autumn
Subtropics: Spring to summer
Mild climates: Spring after frost to early summer
Cold climates: Spring after the last frost, or start earlier under protection
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly into warm soil approximately 10–20 mm deep, or raise in pots and transplant once conditions have warmed. Space plants approximately 40–60 cm apart in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil.
Provide a trellis for vertical growth or allow vines sufficient room to ramble. Keep plants consistently watered, particularly during flowering and fruit development.
Harvest regularly while fruits are smooth, green and tender, up to approximately 17 cm long. Pick smaller if intended for pickling. Frequent harvesting encourages continued flowering and fruit production.
If saving seed, Muncher Burpless can cross-pollinate with other Cucumis sativus cucumber varieties flowering nearby, so adequate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.
Maturity: approximately 65 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
Cucumis sativus
Green Gem, also known as Poinsett, is a dependable open-pollinated slicing Cucumber producing long, straight, deep green fruits reaching approximately 25 cm. An old standard garden variety, it is particularly valued for its productivity, adaptability to hot conditions and resistance to mildews.
The fruits are crisp, juicy and refreshing with a classic cucumber flavour. Harvested young and tender, they are excellent sliced into salads and sandwiches, served fresh with dips or used in cold soups and other summer dishes.
Green Gem is a vigorous, heavy-bearing variety that continues producing over a long period when fruits are picked regularly. Its ability to perform well in hot climates makes it particularly useful for warmer Australian growing regions, while its mildew resistance helps plants remain productive through challenging summer conditions.
Although vines can be allowed to ramble along the ground, Green Gem performs particularly well when trained onto a trellis. Vertical growing encourages straighter fruits, improves airflow around the foliage and makes harvesting easier.

When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Spring to autumn
Subtropics: Spring to summer
Mild climates: Spring after frost to early summer
Cold climates: Spring after the last frost, or start earlier under protection
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly into warm soil approximately 10–20 mm deep, or raise in pots and transplant once conditions have warmed. Space plants approximately 40–60 cm apart in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil.
Provide a sturdy trellis for best results. Keep plants consistently watered, particularly during flowering and fruit development, and mulch around the root zone to help retain moisture.
Harvest regularly while fruits are firm, green and tender, up to approximately 25 cm long. Frequent picking encourages continued flowering and heavy production.
If saving seed, Green Gem can cross-pollinate with other Cucumis sativus cucumber varieties flowering nearby, so adequate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.
Maturity: approximately 56–63 days.

Cucumis metuliferus
African Horned Cucumber, also known as Kiwano, Jelly Melon and Horned Melon, is an extraordinary African cucurbit producing oval fruits covered in prominent horn-like spines. Fruits mature from green to a brilliant orange, while the interior remains translucent, emerald-green and jelly-like, filled with edible seeds.
The flavour is mild, fresh and subtly sweet-tart, often described as a combination of cucumber, banana and lime. The pulp can be spooned straight from the shell, added to fruit salads, desserts, drinks and smoothies, or used as a striking garnish. The hollowed orange shells also make wonderfully unusual serving vessels.
Native to sub-Saharan Africa, Cucumis metuliferus is adapted to warm conditions and can cope remarkably well with heat and periods of dry weather once established. Kiwano has also been grown in Australia for generations, with an old story suggesting that seed was brought home by Australian soldiers returning from the Boer War.
The vigorous vines sprawl or climb readily and benefit from plenty of space or a sturdy trellis. Plants are productive in warm weather, and the mature orange fruits are exceptional keepers. Their tough skin allows undamaged fruit to be stored for an extended period at room temperature after harvest.
Approximately 40 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Spring to autumn
Subtropics: Spring to summer
Mild climates: Spring after frost to early summer
Cold climates: Start under protection in spring and transplant after all danger of frost
Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 10–20 mm deep directly into warm soil or raise in trays for transplanting. Keep consistently moist during germination.
Transplant or thin seedlings to approximately 60–100 cm apart in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Provide a strong trellis if growing vertically, or allow plenty of room for vines to ramble along the ground.
Water regularly during establishment, flowering and fruit development. Harvest young green fruits if using similarly to cucumber, or allow them to mature fully to orange for the characteristic jelly-like pulp and best storage life.

Brassica oleracea var. sabauda
Savoy Drumhead Perfection is a classic heirloom Savoy Cabbage producing broad, compact heads weighing up to approximately 3 kg. The deeply crinkled, dark green leaves are beautifully tender, forming dense, substantial heads with the distinctive texture for which Savoy cabbages are prized.
Considered one of the finest-flavoured cabbages, Drumhead Perfection has a particularly mild, sweet flavour and is notably less sulphurous when cooked than many conventional cabbage varieties. The tender leaves are excellent steamed, braised or sautéed, wrapped around fillings, shredded into soups and stir-fries, or enjoyed finely sliced in salads and slaws.
Exceptionally cold tolerant, this is an excellent variety for growing through the cooler months and can withstand frosty conditions once established. Plants perform best in full sun with rich, fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture as the large heads develop.
Approximately 120 seeds per packet

If saving seed, remember that Savoy Cabbage will cross-pollinate readily with other compatible Brassica oleracea varieties, so adequate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.
Maturity: approximately 90 days.
