Heirloom Vegetable

A native plant to Australia. If you are new to gardening, this is your lucky day. This plant thrives in hot and dry weather. To avoid oxalates, we recommend blanching leaves in hot water for at least a minute and rinsing with cool water before eating. Discard the cooking water. This variety should not be eaten raw.

Sow seed 12 mm (1/2″) deep and 2.5 cm (1″) apart in rows 30-45 cm (12-18″) apart after your last spring frost date – thin seedlings to 20 cm (8″) after germination. Plants will grow all summer long allowing for an extended harvest period. Top-dress with compost, after seedlings are well established.

What are Heirloom Seeds:

In the past, heirloom seeds were typically handed down to a son or daughter of a farmer who was getting married. This was considered a wedding gift to help provide for the newly formed family. Now these heirloom seed varieties are sought after because of their diversity and their widespread growing regions that has helped to keep them isolated from Genetically Engineered Varieties. The most common reason for seeking out heirloom seeds is to find varieties that are resistant to various molds and crop diseases depending on the region in which you are trying to grow.
