Aristotle

An edible Kale which is also highly ornamental. Textured and ruffled leaves develop a striking contrasting white centre as they mature and have a very sweet flavor, even the leaf stalks are sweet and have the crispest texture. Ideal used for multiple cuts prolonging the harvesting period. Coloration increases with the colder temperatures.

This Greek basil-type produces a tight, neat, rounded mound of densely packed leaves. Highly aromatic small leaves loaded with Basil flavor, Aristotle looks as good as it tastes and makes a delightful feature plant in pots or containers or even planted into a sunny spot in the garden. Strong stems, late flowering and good tolerance to poor weather make for excellent performance. One seed can easily fill a 1 gallon/8” (20 cm) pot. Best for: adding flavor to soups, sauces, fish and meat dishes. Fresh or dried.

Ocimum basilicum BASIL Floral Spires

A short “slicer” cucumber: the perfect variety for patio growing taking up less than half the space of other cucumbers – just 45-60cm, short and busy, ideal for pots – but still delivering plenty of sweet, crunchy cucs. With the plants happy outdoors, fruiting after about 45 days, picking at 18-23cm long, and more fruiting with regular cropping there is a lot to love about Peticue. Best used for fresh consumption.

A very ornamental basil bred for its flowers as well as its foliage. Floral Spires make great flowering plants but they are also excellent for culinary use. Unlike other Basils the leaves do not get bitter when the plant flowers. Uniform, dense bushy habit with a distinct Thai basil scent, an ideal windowsill plant which is equally happy in a pot or planted out in the garden. One seed can easily fill a 1 gallon/8” (20 cm) pot. Best for: fresh.

Petipikel is a short vining/bush pickling cucumber. Petipikel has been bred to stay compact, with the vines using only one third of the space of a standard variety. Plants mature in just 45 days. Pick the green striped, spined fruit at 3 - 5” (8-13 cm) for the best results. Harvest regularly to increase the yield. Best used for pickling, but fruit can be left until 7” long and used fresh.
