Out of stockMirabilis jalapa Also known as 4 o’clocks and Marvel of Peru. Originally from South America Mirabella has naturalised all over the world. After going dormant in winter expect new growth from deep large established tubers in early spring. Then a delightful display of beautiful variegated flowers spring to through to summer. Needing little attention and being drought hardy you tend to forget they’re there till next spring. It’s a great surprise. Plant by seed in early spring germinating at 13-18C or by division of tubers in spring. Grows 1 metre high by 1 metre wide and is a hardy perennial. Can make a good container plant with enough care. Save seeds in summer which are dark 5m ovals with pointy ends which are easy to see and pick and have replaced the flowers. Keep in open paper bags in cool dry space till all moisture has been released.

Out of stockSolanum lycopersicum L. Round yellow peach coloured round fruit to 5cm with a slight soft fuzzy skin which deters insects. Excellent sweet variety with low acid and a long ripening season. One of our favourites and a must try.

Solanum lycopersicum L. This plant will grow anywhere there's sunshine and water including large pots and keeps giving sweet currant size fruit all Summer. Eat whole in salads or straight off the bush. Research suggests it was found "growing from the crack in a sidewalk in Indianapolis in the mid 100's". Sprawling determinate plant so stake well and leave lots of room.

Out of stockSolanum lycopersicon L. KY1 ‘Scoresby Dwarf’. A reliable determinate cultivar produced years ago for the canning industry but don’t let that put you off. It’s not a hybrid and has plenty of medium red round sweet flavoursome fruit on sturdy 1 metre determinate plant. You can look forward to lots of them!

Out of stockSolanum lycopersicum L. Large very beefy fruit when ripe. Has a very good flavour and excellent slicing fruit. Also good for sauces like most Roma's but we think still has a better flavour. Large indeterminate plant needing staking. A gift many years ago from a kind farmer in central Victoria.

Solanum lycopersicum L. Large heart shaped fruit with deep fleshy interior. Oxheart is a great old heirloom tomato with few seeds. In parts of Gippsland this variety is a favourite handed down many generations. Described as ‘sweet, rich, complex flavour and very meaty yet still juicy’. Excellent production on a large indeterminate plant needing a lot of staking.
-
Out of stockSolanum lycopersicum L. Determinate plant with sturdy trunk producing good reliable sweet medium size tomatoes. Still needs some staking and will be one of the first to produce fruit.

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'. What I didn't realise was how sweet they were. Plant is tall indeterminate type and needs to be staked well especially considering the weight of the fruit!

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.
