Sweet Potato - Sweet n Star

$17.90 ($4.95-$17.90 choose a size)

Purple skin with pale cream flesh. A warm and sunny position is essential, this variety is less susceptible to attack by soil insects than gold types. The Sweet Potato is a perennial trailing plant that develops fleshy tuberous roots over summer which are harvested in autumn. Leaves are small and emerald-green and can be eaten as a substitute for any leafy green, such as Kale or Spinach either fresh or steamed. The shoot tips are especially tender.

Chilli - Cheongyang Gochu

$9.75

A Korean variety of chilli for adding to most dishes where you enjoy some mild heat or spiciness. A well known ingredient in the production of fermented foods such as Kim Chi. Ripens to red providing the colour of a typical Kim Chi. This is a long, skinny type chilli and tastes similar to birds eye with a little more flavour and heat. Excellent for pots or in the ground. A highly productive chilli variety.

Sweet Potato - Molokai Purple

$17.90

Vibrant, purple flesh and dark skinned tuber. High in anthocyanins, sweet but starchier than other types.

Sweet Potato

Be careful to avoid (ie cut off) any rot or fungus infected sweet potato. When stressed the tuber is know to produce toxins

Carl Ramirez 13y ago

Sweet Potato

Sweet potatoes try to develop tubers as soon as they start growing in soil. In the very infertile, sandy, sometimes saline soils of Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, it is a perennial and produces an average sized tuber every 2 months.

Sweet Potato

My sweet potato gets wiped out by frost, then just resprouts. Have the Beauregard variety, it is a perennial ground cover. The leaves are excellent in stir fries as well!

Kathy Boyes 16y ago

Sweet Potato

Its botanical name is Ipomoea batatas - not "batatus" and not "batters"! Curry the tuber with onion, ground coriander, little cumin, ginger

Sweet Potato

Low Groundcover : Plant as an edible groundcover between and under fruit/ nut trees and Arrowroot to make maximum use of sunlight.This is called 'Stacking'.So the lowest is Sweet Potato then higher up is the Arrowroot then higher up is the fruit tree .
