(21 Days) Most radishes get bitter and brittle from the hot summer but Rover keeps its' cool! Rover is extra early, holds well in the field, and has less of a tendency to produce oval radishes under heat stress than other varieties. The smooth, dark-red roots are extremely uniform and attractive with crisp, white flesh. Very widely adapted. They have rich flavour with a refreshing nip.

Planting Instructions:
Radishes are very quick growing, plant as early as possible in spring. Cool weather develops a fine mild flavor. In many cases Radishes fail to bulb properly in hot weather. If you desire Radishes over an extended time, plant at 1 week intervals, in a cooler shady place in the garden. Plant 1 cm (1/2 in) deep, 1 cm (1/2 in) apart in rows 45 cm (18 in) apart. Radishes grow best in lighter soils. If your soil is heavy work in lots of organic matter in the rows before sowing seed.

Bright rose scarlet at the top with white blunt tips, this popular heirloom radish is 5cm (2") long and perfect for enjoying raw in salads. This variety grows well from spring through summer with upright tops that grow to about 15cm (6") tall. Gather and refrigerate for best storage. This variety has been in cultivation since the 1880s, which speaks to its reliability, flavour, and charm. Learn when to plant radish seeds in our How to Grow Radishes instructions below. Be sure to sow some French Breakfast radish seeds in your organic vegetable garden.

A very nice, slightly curled mustard with light green, ruffled leaves. Although this heirloom variety can be grown to full size for cooking, the baby leaves are spectacular raw, and work particularly well in salad mixes for the market. Tokyo Bekana Organic mustard seeds are sometimes listed as "small Chinese cabbage," but it's closer to lettuce in texture, with a surprisingly sweet flavour that is neither hot (like some other mustards) or bitter (like some lettuces). At full size, its delicate leaves develop succulent white petioles, making it good for bunching. As if all that weren't enough, it is slow bolt in summer, and is hardy enough to grow all winter if you provide some cover.

This old-fashioned heirloom produces 8 rows of large, yellow kernels on 12-18cm (5-7") cobs. Plants grow 1.6m (5') tall. Golden Bantam’s sweet flavour is fantastic for fresh eating or freezing on the day it is picked.

First introduced to the market in 1902 by W. Atlee Burpee. Isolate Golden Bantam at least 3km from other corn if you intend to save seed. Golden Bantam corn seeds are unusual because they are open pollinated and one of the few corn varieties that produce well in our climate but are also suitable for seed saving. The sugars of this variety convert quickly to starch, so savour the moment and enjoy the day of harvest. 

This heirloom carrot has been grown and selected for North American conditions for at least 50 years. It is a workhorse variety that is widely adapted and often out-performs some of the more finicky Nantes hybrids.

Strong tops and excellent heirloom flavour in 18cm (7") roots that colour up early for optional harvests as baby carrots.

Dolly Organic basil seeds are CERTIFIED ORGANIC! Dolly is a fast growing and particularly nice Genovese type basil with large, highly aromatic leaves just waiting to be torn fresh over pasta and salads. Leaves grow up to 10cm (4") with minimally serrated margins. Dolly Organic basil is well suited to container growing and resistant to cool night temperatures, so it's a better choice than many for coastal gardens. Pinching the growing tip will keep the plants very bushy, producing more leaves, and delaying the flowering stage. Once flowers appear, the plants flavour will be at its peak, so harvest all at once, or just keep picking as needed.

Sweet Basil seeds produce vigorous plants that grow big, mid-green leaves all summer long. Keep picking the growing tips and the 2 pairs of leaves below them for the kitchen. More branches sprout more leaves. Sweet basil is a large-leaved Italian type that is glorious for pesto. Plant Sweet Basil seeds several times for a continuous supply until frost.

Coriandrum sativum. Santo is a popular home garden and commercial variety for all-season sowing, Direct sow short rows of Santo every other week from spring to late summer for a continuous harvest. The mature seeds, better known as coriander, are easy to harvest, and used in many dishes - notably curry powder blends. Keep an eye on your cilantro crop as it is fast-growing. As soon as a central stem appears and the uppermost leaves become frilly, flowering is imminent. The roots are useful - check out our Coriander Root Paste recipe. Because of this taproot, cilantro does not transplant well.

If growing for seeds, simply allow the plants to flower. Cilantro flowers are highly attractive to beneficial insects like Syrphid flies, lacewings, and lady beetles. Be warned that if the seeds are not harvested when they are mature, you will have volunteer cilantro plants for years to come.

Cilantro will grow somewhat leggy, but productively in partial shade, and it is quite tolerant of cool temperatures. With the protection of a cloche greenhouse, cilantro will continue growing all winter.

CERTIFIED ORGANIC! Sweet and crunchy Socrates Organic is a thin-skinned Beit Alpha variety specially bred for cool conditions. It stays productive under lower light conditions in the autumn and early spring, but it thrives in poly-tunnels, greenhouses, and in the field. Socrates Organic cucumber seeds are parthenocarpic, so the plants can produce fruits without pollination, and that means seedless fruits. Later in the season, if pollination occurs, seeds will form. This new hybrid is very productive, with a good resistance to scab and powdery mildew. Trellis the vines so the fruits can develop straight as they hang. Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Matures in 52 days. (Hybrid seeds)

New Zealand Spinach is not a true spinach, but a warm weather plant that provides copious amounts of leaves for salads and cooked greens. Start seeds inside 2-3 weeks before your last frost date or sow outside after all danger of frost has passed. Soak the small, hard seeds overnight before planting. Once it is established it is vigorous and trouble-free. Pick the leaves and young shoots from the trailing plants regularly to lengthen the harvest. New Zealand spinach is a perennial in areas with mild winters, but is grown as a tender annual in all regions that experience temperatures below freezing.

Red Iceberg lettuce forms a rosette of tasty, nutritious, and richly red outer leaves as it grows. Eventually a tightly-packed, pale green iceberg head forms at its centre, gilded with red markings on the outside. The interior is sweet and mild, with a very pleasant, crisp texture.

Native Plant, Fall or spring sow, staggered germination

Annual

Native Plant, an annual or biennial herb (20–50 cm tall) with triangular leaves and bright red, berry-like seed clusters that resemble strawberries. Grows in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils—commonly found in open woods, meadows, and disturbed sites. Leaves are edible and can be used like spinach, while the vibrant fruits (also edible - delicious in salad) attract birds and add ornamental interest to naturalized or edible landscapes.
