Garden Harvest

Fresh, leafy goodness—ready when you are 🥬

Harvest crisp baby cos lettuce, colourful rainbow chard and fragrant Italian parsley, beautifully complemented by sweet alyssum. Thoughtfully planted using companion planting principles, these plants naturally support one another by attracting beneficial insects, encouraging healthy growth and providing a continuous harvest of fresh, homegrown ingredients.

What's included in the Potted Companion: 

Rainbow Chard (Beta vulgaris) is a colourful heirloom variety featuring red midribs and nutrient-rich leaves for ongoing harvest and high yields.

Baby Cos Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) this sweet and crunchy heirloom 'Baby Cos' is a must for any salad lover. Crisp, delicate and tender fresh leaves.

Italian Parsley (Petroselinum crispum var. neapolitanum) adds fresh herbaceous brightness to dishes with abundant harvests.

Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia maritima) delicate edible flowers that attract beneficial insects, support biodiversity, and provide a hardy ground cover. 

Planted in a large terracotta (coloured) self-watering pot (31x27cm).

Why it works:

Silverbeet, Baby Cos lettuce, Italian parsley and Sweet alyssum thrive in similar cool-season conditions, making them ideal companions in a pot. Silverbeet provides shade, lettuce grows compactly beneath it, and parsley adds long-lasting harvests and fullness. Sweet alyssum attracts pollinators and beneficial insects, helping create a healthy, balanced mini ecosystem.

Grow tips & Position: 

Best grown in a sunny to partly shaded position

As a self-watering pot, keep the reservoir topped up regularly and check the water level often, especially during hot or dry weather. 

Harvest regularly from the outside in using the oldest leaves first. This encourages fresh new growth.
