Peas Dwarf Massey
Everyone loves fresh garden peas with their Christmas dinner! This early variety with dwarf plant habit is an excellent cropper that doesn't require staking.
Peas Chickpea
They have attractive grey-green foliage and also the capacity to fix nitrogen. Unlike many crops Chickpeas appear to germinate more readily on roughly cultivated soil. We are constantly looking for interesting and sought after vegetables to enhance our catalogue selection. Where possible we like to try to grow out the product so we have some idea on whether it is likely to perform OK. This hasn't been the case with Chickpeas (we haven't attempted to grow these so far) but they certainly look like an interesting crop. It appears they are a bit on the tender side but can possibly withstand a very light frost. In hotter climates they are grown for the dried pea-like seeds. These are used for both sprouting and making into hummus. In damper climates Chickpeas can be harvested green, like petit pois (very small green pea.) When harvested green they taste somewhere in between a fresh raw French bean and a garden pea.
Peas Alderman
The advantage of Alderman is the extended harvesting period. Large, curved, dark green pea pods each containing up to 11 tender peas with great flavour. From sowing you can expect to pick your first peas in about 2 months and picking can continue for a month or more. These plants have a tall growth habit that will require support, but is well worth the effort for the heavy crops produced.
Passionfruit
Once established this climber will supply good crops of round, plump, purple fruit. Dark green foliage - good strong grower.

Parsley Plain
The bright green leaves are deeply segmented and flat. Stronger flavour than curled parsley. Water well in hot weather. Very easy to grow.
Parsley Green Envy
A shorter more compact plant than "Plain Parsley". With its tightly curled leaves and strong stems this parsley is rich deep green in colour and is a fabulous herb. Far superior to Triple curled or Moss curled.
Papaya Amber Lady
Amber Lady is sweet tasting with orange-red flesh. It is a vigourous grower and has good fruit set, however it needs an average temperature of around 25-30 °C for optimal growth. To grow good papaya you need a frost free climate, lots of sunlight, lots of water and very good soil. They also require fertiliser on a regular basis, young plants should be fed every 14 days, older trees once a month. Although papaya need lots of water for good fruit production, the most common problem with them is root rot due to overwatering, so a fine balancing act is required. Trees need to be planted in an area where they will be protected from strong winds. If birds or possums are helping themselves, pick the fruit as soon as it starts to change colour, it will ripen ok on the kitchen bench. We also read somewhere that you can pop a paper bag over the fruit to protect them from pests!
