A classic tasting open pollinated yellow corn, retaining the old-fashioned ‘corny’ flavour rather than the super sweet hybrids of today. Two - three cobs on 1.8m plants that can be eaten steamed, boiled or BBQ’d (our favourite drizzled with a buttery, lime, chilli sauce). Sweet corn always tastes best when eaten within a couple of hours of harvest. 30 seeds. Not to WA.
Tatsoi is a tasty Asian green with small, dark, spoon-shaped leaves in a thick rosette. Similar in taste to Bok Choy – but without the white stem. Can be harvested as a baby green or grown to full size. Great for salads, stir-fries etc. Tatsoi has a long harvest period and is easy to grow in any soil type, with organic matter added. Perfect for containers or gardens. About 500 seeds.
Mexican Heirloom ~ Organic
Reputed to be the best tasting tomatillo. These small-medium sized fruit are used in Mexican salsas, green sauces & stews. Part of the fruit blushes purple, mainly after harvest. This perennial, grown as an annual where frost occurs, requires staking & will keep bearing fruit until killed by frost. Harvest fruit when plump & papery husk splits. Fruit stores for 2-4 weeks. Not to WA. 100 seeds.
A delicious & essential addition to Mexican salsas, green sauces & stews. Once on Aztec menus, the 3-5cm fruit is firmer than a tomato & tastes similar to a tangy lemon, only sweeter. This perennial, grown as an annual where frost occurs, requires staking & will keep bearing fruit until killed by frost. Grow as you would tomatoes. Harvest fruit when plump & papery husk splits. Fruit store for 2-4 weeks. 40 seeds. Not to WA.
Considered by many to be the best sandwich tomato. This heirloom is large, meaty, holds together well (so your sanger does not get soggy!), thin skinned and most importantly has excellent flavour raw. A large, red tomato that averages 400 – 600 grams. Requires staking. 80 seeds.
An Australian Heirloom. This old ‘work horse’ tomato, introduced as a commercial variety in 1931, is renowned for its good, tangy flavour. An early, staking variety, it dependably crops medium-sized, thin-skinned, orange-red fruits, ideal for bottling and freezing or eating fresh. 80 seeds.
This small, round cocktail tomato produces gooseberry sized, deep golden yellow, scrumptious fruit over the early months of summer. Our favourite yellow tomato as it is early and prolific with a super fruity, sweet flavour and low acidity. Needs staking. Prepare the soil by digging in plenty of rotted organic matter and use lime if soil is acid. 30 seeds
