Marigold Luna Yellow F1 Hybrid
A small-flowered variety that sprouts hundreds of flowers and forms dense, bright yellow carpets of blooms. Luna grows very compact and uniform up to a height of approximately 25cm. The plant roots drive away soil pests and combat the “soil fatigue” caused by nematodes. Unfortunately, they are also the favourite food of snails, so you should protect your marigold from being eaten by them. With this knowledge, however, you can also turn the tables and deliberately lure snails away from other endangered plants with the help of marigolds by making them a “sacrificial plant” at a sufficient distance.
Marlborough Rock Daisy
This shrub has glossy, dark green leaves that are thick and fleshy. Underneath, the leaves are white and felt-like. White daisy-like flowers. Loves full sun.

Also known as German Chamomile, Feverfew or Mayweed. Fully-double dainty, white blooms with a yellow to lime centre. Very productive and right at home among cottage garden or wildflower mixes. Another great attractor of butterflies, bees and beneficial insects. Easy to grow. Suitable for cut flowers; if you want to achieve longer stems and earlier blooms, it is best planted in autumn and "over-wintered" in a greenhouse or similar, as it needs protections from frosts. But sown in early spring it can be grown as an annual, protect with cloche or something similar to avoid any rogue frosts or particularly bad cold spells.

Microgreens Mix
There has been so much focus in the past few years on nutrition and the value of vegetables and raw food. Microgreens have certainly earned their place way up at the top of the list. Often referred to as Natures Super Foods and rightly so, they packed with powerful vitamins and minerals. A study that involved scientific analysis of the vitamin and phytochemical content of 25 types of microgreens, found that there were higher concentrations of vitamins and carotenoids (precursors to vitamin A) than the full-grown versions of the plants! High value nutrition is not the only thing they have going for them... they look fantastic as a garnish and are a tasty addition to any meal (even the good ole fashion sarnie at lunchtime). This is a blend of the most popular microgreens, it may vary from time to time as supply dictates, but any of the following can be expected:

Keep a pot in your herb garden or on the patio within easy reach, making it handy to pick a few spicy blooms that can be added to salads to give them that extra bit of zing. Keep pots and containers moist. If planting directly in the garden be sure to apply mulch to help keep the soil cool.

For optimal texture and flavour, harvest often when the pods are young about 8cm long, usually around 55-70 days.

Plants love the heat and can withstand a dry spell but they still require regular watering (around 2cm of water per week.) Although pods grow up to 14cm, they are commonly picked at around 7-8cm. Cut pods regularly to promote a greater yield.

Plant spacing has a huge influence on bulb size. For bigger onions space out to 10cm.
