Solanum lycopersicum
Red Fig is a prolific heirloom tomato producing small, round red fruits to approximately 40 mm across. The fruits have a delicious, sweet tomato flavour and are produced in remarkable abundance, with vigorous plants capable of yielding hundreds of fruits over the season.
The small fruits are excellent fresh in salads and are also particularly suited to chutneys, preserves and drying. Traditionally, the dried fruits were used as a substitute for dried figs, which gave the variety its unusual name.
Known in the USA since the 1700s, Red Fig is an exceptionally old tomato variety with a long history in American kitchen gardens. Plants are vigorous and indeterminate, continuing to flower and fruit over an extended season and benefiting from sturdy staking or trellising.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.

Solanum melongena
White Egg is an unusual heirloom Eggplant producing clusters of small, smooth, oval fruits that resemble white hen’s eggs. The ivory fruits are highly ornamental against the green foliage and develop a stronger, slightly spicier flavour than many of the larger, mild-fleshed eggplant varieties.
The compact fruits have firm, tender flesh and are best harvested while the skin is still glossy and the seeds inside are immature. They are excellent stir-fried, grilled, roasted or added whole or halved to curries and other cooked dishes.
White egg-shaped eggplants have a long history in Asia and are also behind the English name “eggplant”. Early European gardeners encountered white, egg-shaped forms grown as ornamental curiosities, whose fruits looked remarkably like eggs hanging from the plant.
White Egg begins setting fruit relatively early and continues producing throughout the warm season when fruits are picked regularly. Its attractive habit and manageable fruit size also make it a good container variety. In warm conditions it can be maintained in a pot beyond a single season, provided it is protected from frost and cold weather.

Solanum melongena
Mitoyo is a treasured Japanese heirloom Eggplant producing large, rounded fruits with glossy skin ranging from deep purple to almost black. Individual fruits can reach an impressive 600 g, yet the flesh remains remarkably tender, sweet and mild.
The fine-textured flesh becomes beautifully creamy when cooked and has very little of the bitterness sometimes associated with eggplant. Mitoyo is exceptionally versatile in the kitchen and can be eaten raw when young and tender, grilled, baked, roasted, fried or pickled. Its soft texture is particularly well suited to traditional Japanese preparations where the eggplant readily absorbs sauces and seasonings.
This regional variety has traditionally been cultivated around the Mitoyo and Kanonji areas of Kagawa Prefecture on the Japanese island of Shikoku. Its connection to a particular place and local food culture makes it a wonderful example of the regional vegetable varieties preserved through generations of cultivation in Japan.
Plants grow approximately 90–120 cm tall, with attractive green foliage and purple-tinged new growth. Combined with the large, glossy dark fruits, Mitoyo is handsome enough to earn a place in ornamental edible gardens as well as the vegetable patch.

Raphanus sativus
Tillage Radish is a vigorous Daikon-type radish grown primarily as a green manure, cover crop and soil improver. Its large, strong taproot penetrates deeply into the soil, helping break through compacted layers, improve soil structure and create channels for water, air and the roots of following crops.
Fast growing and producing substantial root and leafy biomass, Tillage Radish helps protect bare soil, suppress weeds and add valuable organic matter. When the large roots are left to decompose in the ground, they contribute organic material directly into the soil profile while leaving channels that can improve drainage and root penetration.
The nutritious foliage is also palatable to livestock, making it useful in suitable forage and mixed grazing systems.
