Mentha pulegium
Pennyroyal is a low-growing perennial mint valued for its highly aromatic foliage and traditional use as a companion plant. Forming a spreading mat of small leaves, it is ideal for planting along pathways, between pavers, around garden beds or in containers where its distinctive fragrance is released when brushed or walked upon. During the warmer months, plants produce attractive clusters of lilac to mauve flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators.
A member of the mint family, Pennyroyal has long been grown for its strongly scented essential oils. Traditionally, it has been planted around homes, animal shelters and gardens to help deter ants, mosquitoes, fleas and moths. Its dense growth habit also makes it useful as a living groundcover in suitable climates.
Pennyroyal prefers moist, fertile soil and performs best in partial shade, although it will tolerate full sun where adequate moisture is available. Like many mints, it spreads readily and may be best grown in containers or confined areas if unrestricted growth is not desired.
Important: Pennyroyal contains potent essential oils and is grown primarily as an ornamental, companion and aromatic herb. The concentrated essential oil should not be consumed.

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.

Pisum sativum
Greenfeast, also known as Lincoln, is a classic shelling Pea producing generous crops of plump, sweet green peas. A long-standing favourite in Australian vegetable gardens, it combines excellent flavour with reliable production and good resistance to wilt.
Plants have a compact bush habit, generally reaching around 75–100 cm tall, with pods approximately 5.5–6.5 cm long. Despite being considered a bush variety, plants benefit from some support to keep the vines upright and the developing pods clear of the ground.
The peas are sweet and tender when freshly picked and are excellent eaten straight from the garden or lightly cooked. Use them in soups, stews, risottos, pasta and vegetable dishes, or blanch and freeze surplus harvests for later use.
Greenfeast has been a popular variety in Australia since at least the 1920s and has earned its place as a dependable home-garden pea. The variety is closely associated with the old Lincoln pea, a classic shelling type valued internationally for its flavour and productivity.
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.

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.
