1. Good Organic Gardening - January-February 2016

With Melissa King | THE SEASONAL GARDEN
omato ‘Rapunzel Long
TTrusses’
The plant: A new variety of tomato that really captures the
imagination, with long Rapunzel-like trusses of sweet, glossy red
cherry tomatoes on a 1.8–2.4m tall plant.
Growing: ‘Rapunzel Long Trusses’ grows best in a sunny, welldrained
spot. Prepare the area first with plenty of organic matter
but don’t overdo the manure or you’ll get lots of leafy growth at the
expense of flowers and fruit. If your soil is quite acidic, incorporate
a bit of lime into the soil before planting.
Design: Tomatoes like room to grow, so make sure you adhere to
the spacing recommended on the back of the seedling tag and use
a good strong stake at planting time to avoid later damage.

asabi Salad (Diplotaxis
Werucoides)
The plant: This exotic leafy green will spice up your garden and your
taste-buds. Bite into the soft green foliage for a strong hit of wasabi
flavour. Harvest it leaf by leaf as you need it to give hot or cold salads
a real flavour kick or as a complement to Asian-inspired dishes.
Growing: Wasabi Salad enjoys full sun but, if you’re growing it
through the warmer months, give it dappled light. Plant seedlings
25–30cm apart in rich, well-drained soil.
Design: Grow Wasabi Salad greens in pots close to the house for
easy picking or plant it in groups or rows in the salad garden to
contrast with dark-leafed lettuces or rainbow-coloured silverbeet.
