Vegetables

Vigna sesquipedalis

Vegetables don't have to be green! This mixed packet is great for the smaller garden where 2 packets is too many!

Easy to grow. Both green and gold beans mature at similar times.

Glycine max

A favourite in tapas restaurants, now you can grow your own as a nutritious snack.

Harvested as an immature soy bean, when the shape of the bean is visible inside the pod.  Lightly steam, fry or boil and serve with a sprinkling of salt before popping the beans out to eat.

The pods are generally not eaten.

Phaseolus vulgaris multiflorus

This popular, standard, home garden variety produces bucket loads of long, flat, medium green pods.

Phaseolus vulgaris multiflorus

This variety has been bred with "slower vigour" which significantly reduces the stringy, tough fibre development.

Although the yield is less than other common varieties the superior bean quality more than compensates for it.

Beta vulgaris var Cruenta

Strong topped variety, making for an easy harvest.

Early maturing, deep blood red, tender roots.

Beta vulgaris var Cruenta

Having the luxury of wandering to the garden patch and picking fresh, nutritious vegetables for your evening meal is indeed one of the privileges that many of us in New Zealand still have.

Beetroot All Seasons is ideal. As the name suggests you can have produce all year round - not to be confused with planting the seed all year round.

Beta vulgaris var Cruenta

As smooth and round as beet come. Tender dark red/purple interiors. "Mini Vegetable"

Beta vulgaris var Cruenta

Distinctive rings on this round beet add a lovely visual element to salads.

The deep red leaves are fantastic in mesclun mixes and micro salads.

Beta vulgaris var Cruenta

Also known as the candy cane beet.

Oringinating from the Italian coastal town near Venice, Italy - Chioggia has been around since the early 19th century. The flesh is a hot pink colour with white stripes. Prepare as you would any other beetroot.

Beta vulgaris var Cruenta

Cylindrical shaped red beet. Excellent slicing variety.

Do not plant close together as this creates misshapen roots.
