Basella rubra Malabar spinach is an edible perennial vine found in Asian and Africa and used as a leaf vegetable. Grow here in the heat of spring in trays or hot spot outside and watch this beautiful lush plant climb. Pick leaves and tips to eat raw in salads or use as spinach. -
Beta vulgaris Really a chard, but so tender & with green stems as well these leaves are as mild as any spinach. Lasts 18 months before going to seed and as the name suggests excellent repeat picking over a long period. -
Spinacia oleracea Good oval deep green leaves which love the cold and can be grown Autumn through to Spring remaining strong with all the spinach nutrition. Side pick as needed. -
Cucurbita pepo Delightful little fruits on compact plants these pale green squashes are best eaten young when they remain very tender, needing very little cooking. Great for small meals when they can be picked carefully as needed. -
Cucurbita pepo I am often approached by my older customers seeking what they like to call a true squash. And this is the closest I can give them. Lovely flavour especially when roasted. To get the ‘spaghetti’ affect it needs baking. We cut in half, scoop out seeds, fill with eggs, cream, cheese and seasoning and bake first 20mins covered, last 10mins uncovered to crisp the top. Seriously yum. -
Cucurbita moschate An unusual ‘pumpkin’ in that it’s delicious while still young, picked and eaten like a squash or zucchini. Allowed to mature the skin hardens then Tromboccini should be eaten like a pumpkin. Not as sweet as some it still has great flavour and texture. When baked we added herbs and spices which it absorbed beautifully. Great watching the vines spread either on ground where squashes will ‘curl’ or on fence lines where squashes will hang straight.

Solanum lycopersicum L. This large tomato was first presented to us by John Grasso at one of our markets. He brought it with both hands saying 'they get bigger than this'.
