Pisum sativum
Pea Shoots are one of the most rewarding and delicious microgreens to grow, producing crisp, succulent stems, tender leaves and delicate curling tendrils with a wonderfully fresh, sweet pea flavour. Their substantial size and satisfying crunch make them equally at home in everyday salads and restaurant-style garnishes.
Harvest the young shoots for salads, sandwiches, wraps and stir-fries, scatter them over soups and savoury dishes, or simply eat them fresh straight from the tray. The shoots are mild, sweet and juicy, making them an excellent choice for children and those new to growing microgreens.
Fast growing and highly productive, peas are particularly well suited to tray growing and can often produce a second, smaller harvest when cut above the lowest leaf nodes. They are an excellent choice for beginners and provide a generous crop from a relatively small growing area.

Planting / Sowing
For pea shoots, soak seed in water for 8–12 hours before sowing. Drain well, then sow densely over a moist growing medium and cover with approximately 1–2 cm of mix. Keep moist but not waterlogged during germination.
Once shoots emerge, provide plenty of bright light and good airflow. Harvest with scissors when shoots reach approximately 8–15 cm tall and have developed tender leaves and tendrils, usually around 10–14 days after sowing. Cut above the lowest nodes if attempting a second harvest.

Helianthus annuus
Teddy Bear is a delightful dwarf sunflower producing wonderfully fluffy, fully double blooms in rich golden yellow. The densely packed petals give the flowers a soft, fuzzy appearance, resembling oversized golden pompons. Flower heads measure approximately 7–12 cm across, creating a cheerful display throughout the warmer months.
Growing approximately 50 cm to 1 m tall, Teddy Bear is a compact, branching variety that produces multiple flower heads rather than a single towering bloom. Its manageable size makes it excellent for garden borders, pots, children's gardens and mass plantings.
The thick, plush flowers are particularly attractive in bouquets and make excellent cut flowers, with their unusual texture adding interest to floral arrangements. Easy to grow and fast flowering, Teddy Bear brings all the charm of a traditional sunflower in a much smaller package.
Approximately 10 seeds per packet.

Lactuca sativa
Iceberg is a classic Crisphead Lettuce producing medium-sized, tightly formed heads with crisp, succulent hearts. The light green outer leaves develop an attractive bronze-tinged fringe, surrounding paler, crunchy leaves at the centre.
Introduced in 1894, Iceberg became one of the best-known lettuce types in the world, prized for its exceptional crunch, refreshing flavour and ability to hold well after harvest. The crisp leaves are excellent in salads, sandwiches and wraps, shredded into tacos and burgers, or used as fresh lettuce cups.
This traditional variety has useful heat and disease resistance and is considered a good summer choice for the home garden, although, like most lettuces, it performs best when protected from extreme heat. Consistent moisture is particularly important while the dense heads are forming.
Lettuce is one of the world’s oldest cultivated salad vegetables, grown for thousands of years and spreading through the ancient Mediterranean world. Crisphead lettuces were selected for their tightly packed leaves and firm, crunchy hearts and became especially popular during the late 19th and 20th centuries.
Iceberg prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH and consistent moisture. Some afternoon shade can be beneficial during hotter weather and may help delay premature bolting.

Lactuca sativa
Parris Island Cos is a classic Romaine-type Lettuce producing tall, upright heads of dark green leaves surrounding a crisp, creamy-white heart. The leaves are slightly savoyed, giving them an attractive texture, while plants are vigorous, uniform and reliable in the garden.
Developed in the United States in the early 1950s, Parris Island Cos was named after Parris Island off the coast of South Carolina. It became a widely grown Cos variety thanks to its combination of excellent eating quality, uniform growth and useful disease resistance.
The substantial leaves are crisp, sweet and succulent with the pronounced central ribs characteristic of Cos lettuce. They are particularly good for Caesar salads, where their sturdy texture holds dressing beautifully, as well as in sandwiches, wraps and fresh salads. The tender inner heart is especially sweet and crunchy.
Lettuce is one of the world’s oldest cultivated salad vegetables, grown for thousands of years and spreading through the ancient Mediterranean world. Cos or Romaine lettuces are distinguished by their elongated upright growth, substantial midribs and crisp leaves.
Parris Island Cos prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH and consistent moisture. Some afternoon shade can help maintain tender growth and delay bolting as temperatures increase.

Brassica oleracea var. acephala
Curly Scarlet is a striking open-pollinated Kale producing deeply curled leaves in rich shades of scarlet, burgundy and purple. The colour intensifies as temperatures fall, making this an especially beautiful vegetable through the cooler months.
Young leaves are tender enough to harvest as baby greens for salads, where their colour provides a dramatic contrast to other leafy vegetables. Mature leaves develop a fuller flavour and are excellent steamed, sautéed, baked into kale chips or added to soups, stews, pasta and other cooked dishes. Removing the tougher central stem before cooking larger leaves gives the most tender result.
Kale is one of the oldest cultivated forms of Brassica oleracea, originating from the Mediterranean region and grown for its leaves rather than a tightly formed head. It is naturally rich in nutrients, particularly vitamins A, C and K, along with carotenoids and minerals.
Curly Scarlet thrives in cool weather and mature plants are remarkably frost hardy. Exposure to cold can deepen the purple-red pigmentation and often improves flavour as the plant accumulates sugars in response to low temperatures.
Seed count: approximately 250–370 seeds/g
Approximately 120 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Late summer to winter
Mild climates: Late summer to spring

Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 5–10 mm deep directly into prepared soil or raise in trays for transplanting. Keep consistently moist during germination.
Space plants approximately 30–45 cm apart in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and a near-neutral pH. Keep plants well watered to encourage tender leafy growth.
Harvest individual outer leaves as required, leaving the central growing point intact so plants continue producing. Baby leaves can be picked young for salads, while mature leaves develop their strongest colour during winter.
If saving seed, Curly Scarlet can cross-pollinate with other Brassica oleracea crops flowering at the same time, including other kales, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, so adequate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.
