A heirloom variety from the 1800's, fruit is extra long and great for slicing with a nice mild flavour.
Type: Annual vegetable.
Height: Grow as a vine up netting or trellis.
Light: Full sun
Soil: Rich soil. Use good quality compost around plants and mulch well.
Water: Consistently keeping soil moist, but not wet, will results in good growth and happy plants.
Planting: Sow seeds directly outside after the soil is warm and there is no danger of frost. Cooler temperatures will decrease germination. Work in lots of good compost. Create mounds or hills and sow 6 to 8 seeds 2 cm deep in each hill. Thin seedling leaving only 3 or 4 plants per hill. Put trellis in place when planting so vines can grow vertically, ensuring straight fruit. Or can be started indoors 3 weeks before the last frost. Harden off* before planting out.
Harvest: 60 days from planting
* Hardening off refers to the process of gently and gradually acclimatizing indoor grown seedlings to the great outdoors! Don't throw your new babies straight into the elements! Over the course of a week, take them outside for a few hours at a time, bringing them back indoors afterwards. First sit them in the shade and then slowly introduce them to the sun. Increase the length of time they are outside and are exposed to the sun, until you feel they are ready to face the big outside world!
Other tips: Cutting when they are shorter increases yield and offers best flavour.

These cosmos are a lovely pure white which shines in the garden, especially at night! They would be a perfect choice for a night or moon themed garden.
Type: annual

Care: low maintenance. Deadhead regularly
Bloom time: early summer - hard frost
Carly’s Tip: Water soil first, let saturate, then plant seeds. This prevent seeds – especially light, delicate ones not deeply sown – from moving/washing away.

This is a very old variety which produces excellent fruit for sauce.
Type: Indeterminate. Needs staking. You can read about the difference between Determinate and Indeterminate tomatoes here: Determinate vs. Indeterminate Tomatoes
Height: Indeterminate height
Light: Full sun
Soil: Rich soil. Use good quality compost around plants and mulch well.
Water: Consistently keeping soil moist, but not wet, will results in good growth and happy tomatoes. Inconsistent moisture can lead to "Blossom End Rot". Always water tomatoes at the base of the plant never getting water on the leaves.
Planting:
- Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Use a heating mat to aid germination as they love to be warm! If you don't have a heating mat, you can sit the seeds on top of the fridge to get some warmth.
- Harden off* and then transplant to the garden after all frost danger is gone.
- Bury them deep! Plant the whole stem into the ground, not just the roots leaving only a few top leaves showing. The plant will put out roots from the buried stem, making your plant grow nice and strong!
- Space plants 60-90 cm, 2-3' apart; space rows 3-4' apart.
- DO NOT crowd plants. This leads to poor circulation and disease
Harvest: 80 days to maturity (from the day they are planted outside)
