Solanum lycopersicum
Lucid Gem is a spectacular bi-coloured tomato producing medium to large fruits with golden-yellow skin dramatically flushed with deep purple shoulders where exposed to sunlight. Inside, the flesh is marbled in shades of yellow and rosy red, making every sliced fruit slightly different.
The meaty yet juicy flesh has a smooth, fruity flavour with plenty of sweetness and relatively low acidity. Excellent for fresh eating, Lucid Gem is particularly striking sliced into salads, sandwiches and platters where its unusual internal colouring can be appreciated.
Plants are vigorous and indeterminate, continuing to flower and set fruit throughout the season. Good sun exposure encourages the deepest purple pigmentation on the shoulders, while allowing fruits to ripen fully develops their best colour and flavour.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram.
Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: February–August
Subtropics: August–April
Mild climates: August–December
Cold climates: September–December, after frost risk has passed
Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 5 mm deep into seed-raising mix or directly where conditions are warm. In cooler climates, seed can be started indoors approximately five weeks before transplanting after the last frost. Best soil temperature for germination is approximately 16–35°C.
Space plants approximately 40–60 cm apart with 60–150 cm between rows. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and provide sturdy staking or trellising for the climbing vines and substantial fruit. Good sunlight encourages development of the characteristic purple pigmentation. Water at soil level where possible and avoid waterlogged conditions.

Solanum lycopersicum
Lionheart is a large Oxheart-type tomato producing substantial, heart-shaped red fruits with thick, meaty walls. The dense flesh and relatively low proportion of juice give the fruit the characteristic texture that makes Oxheart tomatoes so highly regarded in the kitchen.
The large fruits are excellent sliced fresh for sandwiches and salads, while their thick flesh makes them particularly useful for sauces, passata, cooking and preserving. Plants are hardy and vigorous, providing a dependable crop under a range of growing conditions.
An indeterminate variety, Lionheart continues growing, flowering and setting its heavy fruits throughout the season. Strong staking or trellising is recommended to support both the vigorous vines and developing crop.

Brassica rapa
Komatsuna, often known as Mustard Spinach, is a traditional Japanese leafy green prized for its tender light green leaves, crisp stems and mild nutty mustard flavour. Despite its common name, it is not a true spinach but is valued for its versatility, productivity and ability to thrive through the cooler months.
The smooth leaves feature gently serrated edges and remain tender even as plants mature. Young leaves are excellent in salads, while mature plants are ideal for stir-fries, soups, steaming and other cooked dishes. The mild flavour is less pungent than many mustard greens, making Komatsuna a popular choice for gardeners seeking a versatile and easy-to-use leafy vegetable.
Fast growing and highly productive, Komatsuna provides generous harvests in approximately 45–52 days and can be harvested as baby leaf, cut-and-come-again greens or mature plants.

Arctium lappa
A hardy biennial grown for both food and medicine, burdock has been cultivated for centuries across Europe and Asia. Its long, slender taproots are crisp and mildly sweet with an earthy flavour, prized in Japanese cuisine where they are known as gobo. Enjoy them stir-fried, roasted, added to soups or pickled, while the young leaf stalks can also be peeled and cooked like celery. In herbal medicine, burdock root has traditionally been used to support healthy liver function, the lymphatic system and clear, healthy skin. Rich in the prebiotic fibre inulin, it also provides valuable nourishment for beneficial gut bacteria. Burdock is easy to grow in full sun and deep, loose, well-drained soil, where the roots can develop straight and long. Sow direct, as plants dislike root disturbance. Harvest the roots during the first year while they are still tender, before the tall flowering stems appear in the second season. The striking purple thistle-like flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinators before developing the familiar hooked burrs that inspired the invention of Velcro.
Biennial to 2m. Large dock-shaped leaves. Cultivated as commercial root vegetable in Japan, with the flavour of Salsify, prefers a deep sandy soil, prepare by aerating deeply. Stalks also eaten. Sow in warmer months 5-10cm apart, harvest autumn, winter and spring, cook like carrots, use in soups and stews, stores well.

Amaranthus blitum
A reliable, fast growing leafy green traditionally grown as a vegetable rather than an ornamental. Valued for its tender, mild flavoured leaves, Amaranthus blitum is well suited to regular cut and come again harvest and is commonly used as a spinach substitute, either fresh when young or lightly cooked. Plants form a lower, more spreading habit than ornamental amaranths and cope well with heat once established. Easy to grow in warm conditions, it is a productive, practical choice for kitchen gardens focused on yield and versatility rather than show.
