Mint Chocolate 12cm discontinued line priced to clear
$2.99$1.50
Chocolate Mint is a very fragrant herb with a distinctive scent of mint overlaid with a chocolate fragrance.
Chocolate Mint is ideal for herbal teas, or for adding to desserts for additional minty chocolaty flavours.
Chocolate Mint grows well in full sun to partial shaded garden in moist to well drained soils and is best grown in pots or containers to restrict its growth, as it can get out of control in a garden bed.
Chocolate mint can grow up to 60cms high, by 3 suburbs away if you put it in the garden, but will be more controllable in a pot or hanging basket….. and more user friendly.
Fresh and deeelicious…. Try some Chocolate Mint in your herb pots, you will love it !!
Garlic Chives are a clump forming perennial with attractive grass like foliage that has a mild garlic flavour.
Chives are not only useful for culinary purposes, but they also make great flowering plants as a border or edge in your garden, as they will develop small white or purple flowers in the spring months.
Chives are also considered a beneficial plant to roses, tomatoes and fruit trees, as they ward off those pesky little flys, aphids and bugs, that attack your flowers and fruit. I often plant lots of chives around my garden, not because of potential random Vampire attack, or to repel Mrs Paddys obvious affection for me, with my odorous garlic fragrance, ... ( hahaha.... yeah we're married... no need to worry about garlic breath), but I plant them to actually repel the bugs and chewing insects from my flowers and fruits in the garden... and of course, i love asian style cuisine, so i use them in cooking, along with actual garlic and ginger..... a lot !!... which probably explains why my wife sleeps in another room ... a lot !!
Chives can be used to flavour cheese, dips, and egg dishes, as a garnish or in asian style cuisines and salads.
Chives thrive in a sunny position in moist to well drained soil and will grow up to 40cms tall by 45 cms wide, remove the flowers to prolong the life of the plants.
San Marzano produces medium sized roma style deep red elongated fruit which is great for salads, sandwiches and sauces.
Tomatoes grow well in Full Sun, in moist, well drained soils with plenty of air flow around the base.
I always prepare the soil before planting with compost, agriboost, some seaweed solution and then some sugar cane mulch. The last thing i do is plant the tomatoes and then stake them. Once they have reached a certain height, i will give them a feed with some potash to encourage lots of flowers ( which become fruit), but I DON'T regularly feed them throughout their growth, as you will just encourage too much foliage growth, there should have been enough nutrient in the soil when you prepared it to get them going and the potash just finishes them. The only exception is, if we have some bizarre weather, or you didn't put enough nutrient in to begin with and the tomato foliage goes a little yellow, then they are hungry and need a feed with some seaweed solution.
Plant your tomatoes a little deeper than their current height after purchase, then once they grow up to about 40cms, prune away any of the bottom 10cms of foliage to allow air flow around the base and a good spot for companion planting basil, marigolds, nasturtiums and other pest insect repellants.
Stake your tomatoes with a simple teepee of 3 good sized hardwood stakes pushed into ground on an angle around the tomato and then tie the 3 tops together to form a teepee and as the tomato grows up, attach it to the teepee for support.
We will endeavor to have more Tomato Varieties available soon.... 2020 has been a tough year to get the seed supply we require and demand has been crazy high.... we love it and love you interest in gardening from home, but please bear with us, we are working as hard as we can to make sure there is plenty for everybody.
Strawberry Loran produces White blooms, which then become flavoursome sweet fruit to use in desserts, as a snack, or whatever your heart desires, you would have to be from outer space to not know what to use a Strawberry for.
Strawberries have a whole range of health benefits ... google them, you will be surprised at some of them, but for me, I have 2 very good reasons why i have strawberries planted all over my home and nursery, not only do i love strawberries and my family love them, but sadly i suffer from pretty bad hayfever ( occupation hazard) and get allergies to certain plants ( also not ideal !!!!), which, every so often, i can get anaphylactic reactions from, but if i do get bad, i eat some strawberries and for me, it helps settles down the reaction, until i see a doctor....... if you ever do get anaphylactic reactions, dont eat strawberries because, they work for, always see a doctor first.
Strawberries prefer full sun in moist well drained soils and love compost and fertiliser. enjoy the flowers, but dont pick them off... the centre of each flower is your strawberry. Pick your fruit when well coloured and ripe... dont eat green strawberries, they taste like s--t and thats what you spend the next 2 hours doing, wait till they are red, sweet and deeelicious !!
