Holy basil grows to about 1 m high, depending on growing conditions. Tulsi is a perennial in tropics but is best treated as a half-hardy annual here as UK light levels are insufficent during winter for it to keep growing. It has long purple flowers and smooth green foliage with a spicy fragrance.

Similar to lemon Basil but with a distinctive spicy lime flavour, excellent for flavouring in cooking, eaten raw or to make a delicious cup of lime tea.

The pigeon pea originated in India then through Africa to the Caribbean, cultivated for its food crop and as a green manure. Now widely cultivated in tropical regions throughout the world. The peas can be eaten fresh like garden peas or dried like lentils.

The plant is a short lived perennial shrub growing to 2 or 3 metres, living for about five years in tropical conditions. The fruits are pea like pods, containing four to five seeds. Best grown as a greenhouse or polytunnel as an annual crop in the UK with heat early in the year to encourage growth. Alternatively grow in pots under glass and transplant outside in a warm sheltered position in full sun after all frosts have finished.

This relative of the cucumber produces wonderful 5cm oblong spined fruits produced in quantity on 6ft tall climbing/scambling plants. The baby gherkins are good to eat fresh or pickled and taste exactly like a good cucumber with no bitterness. The spines are harmlessly soft and totally edible, so no need to rub them off. Best grown under cover though as these are a tropical plant and very popular.
