Pisum sativum
Onward is a classic shelling Pea producing heavy crops of uniform, well-filled green pods. A dependable garden variety, it is valued for its combination of productivity, excellent flavour and reliable performance.
The plump peas have a sweet, rich flavour and tender texture when harvested young. They are excellent freshly shelled and lightly cooked, added to soups, stews, risottos and vegetable dishes, or eaten raw in salads while young and sweet. Surplus peas can also be blanched and frozen for later use.
Onward is a traditional British garden pea that became popular with both home and market gardeners for its generous yields and consistently good-quality pods. Regular picking while the pods are well filled but still tender encourages an extended harvest.
Although peas are natural climbers, even shorter varieties benefit from some support. Pea netting, stakes or twiggy branches help keep the plants upright, improve airflow and make the pods easier to find and harvest.
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.

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 pea netting, stakes or twiggy branches for support as plants develop.
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 while the peas remain tender and sweet. Pick regularly to encourage continued production. For seed saving, leave selected pods on healthy plants until fully mature and dry.
Due to quarantine restrictions, we cannot send Pea seeds to Tasmania and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
Solanum lycopersicum
Santorini produces flattened, round red tomatoes with juicy, fleshy interiors and a rich, full tomato flavour. The fruits are excellent eaten fresh in salads and sandwiches, while their flavour and texture also make them particularly good for cooking and sauces.
Despite sometimes being described as Italian, Santorini tomatoes are associated with the Greek island of Santorini, where tomatoes have been cultivated since the nineteenth century. The island became particularly known for small, intensely flavoured tomatoes adapted to its dry, windy conditions and volcanic soils.
Plants are vigorous and indeterminate, continuing to flower and set fruit throughout the season. Provide sturdy staking or trellising to support the climbing vines and developing crop.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.

Solanum lycopersicum
Tristar is an Australian-bred tomato producing substantial red fruits weighing up to approximately 200 g. The firm, fleshy tomatoes are a versatile size for slicing, sandwiches and salads as well as sauces, cooking and preserving.
Bred in Queensland for resistance to Fusarium wilt, Tristar was developed with warm Australian growing conditions in mind. Its disease resistance is particularly valuable in areas where soil-borne Fusarium can make tomato production difficult.
Plants have a determinate bush habit, producing good-sized fruit on relatively compact plants. They require less training than climbing tomatoes, although staking or caging is worthwhile to support the weight of the larger fruits.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.

Tetragonia tetragonioides
New Zealand Spinach, also known as Warrigal Greens, is a sprawling leafy vegetable native to Australia and New Zealand. Despite its common name, it is not related to true spinach, but its succulent green leaves and tender growing tips are used in much the same way.
The young leaf tips are best harvested regularly, which encourages plants to branch and produce further tender growth. The leaves are best cooked and can be steamed, blanched, sautéed or added to soups, curries and other dishes. It has a long growing season and handles hot, dry summer conditions far better than true spinach.
Warrigal Greens were an important food plant for Aboriginal Australians long before European arrival. They also have an unusual place in Australian food history, being among the first Australian native vegetables recorded as eaten by Europeans when Joseph Banks and members of Captain Cook's crew collected and ate the plant in 1770. Hardy and disease resistant, established plants can survive light frost and regrow when conditions improve.

Yellow Perfection is an old English tomato producing small, smooth fruits that ripen to a rich golden yellow. The flesh is juicy and sweet with a good, well-rounded tomato flavour, making it particularly enjoyable eaten fresh.
An established British heirloom, Yellow Perfection has been grown for generations for its flavour, attractive colour and reliable production. The thin-skinned fruits can be prone to cracking during periods of wet weather or sudden changes in soil moisture, so consistent watering and prompt harvesting are beneficial.
Plants are vigorous and indeterminate, producing fruit over an extended season. The golden fruits are excellent for salads, sandwiches, platters and fresh eating, and their colour makes a striking contrast when mixed with red and dark tomato varieties.

Brassica japonica
Lime Streaks is a striking Mizuna-type Mustard Green producing masses of finely cut, feathery leaves highlighted by vivid lime-green veins and slender stems. Its delicate, deeply divided foliage gives the plant an almost fern-like appearance and makes it particularly attractive in salad mixes and edible garden plantings.
The leaves have a mild, pleasantly peppery flavour that is more delicate than many traditional mustard greens. Young leaves are excellent eaten fresh in salads, sandwiches and wraps or used as an attractive garnish. Larger leaves can be lightly sautéed, steamed or tossed through stir-fries, noodles and other warm dishes just before serving.
Fast growing and cold tolerant, Lime Streaks is particularly well suited to cut-and-come-again harvesting. Pick individual leaves or cut young foliage regularly while leaving the central growing point intact, and plants will quickly produce another flush of tender growth.
Mizuna has a long history of cultivation in Japan, where its finely divided leaves have traditionally been used fresh, cooked and pickled. Its combination of rapid growth, cold tolerance and distinctive foliage has also made it increasingly popular as a salad green around the world.
Plants thrive in cool to mild conditions and prefer fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Cooler weather encourages tender growth and a milder flavour, while warmer conditions can increase pepperiness and encourage plants to bolt.
