Copenhagen Early Market Cabbage Seed

Copenhagen Early Market Cabbage seeds produce blonde, short-season cabbages that have a ball-shaped head and weighs 4 to 5 pounds. Many love this variety for delicious sauerkraut, paired with corned beef or in Grandma's famous coleslaw recipe. Suggested Planting Requirements: Cabbage and any brassica require lots of organic matter and plenty of plant food to produce happily and quickly. We recommend that you amend the planting area with compost, manure and organic fertilizer to ensure the plant is adequately fed during it's growing season. Just amending with compost will likely not give the plant enough nutrients to grow happily. Cabbage and all brassica plants like to grow during the cool -months of the year. For zones 9-10 you can grow cabbage all winter long with row cover if you are in high elevations. Other areas will want to direct sow cabbage seed after the threat of frost is gone or start 3-4 weeks before the last frost inside. Growing recommendation: On our farm, we start cabbage from seed in the greenhouse all winter long and succession plant out cabbages to have all spring and well into the summer. When the weather gets hot you can use shade cloth to prolong the season. Side dressing with an organic fertilizer will help boost production. Harvesting and Storage: Harvest as soon as the head is the desired size. Cut at the base of the plant. Do not wash until use to prevent premature rot. Store in the refrigerator for weeks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Siqv4koKtaU Soil Temperature: 45-85°F Planting Depth: ¼” Days to Germination: 4-20 Days to Maturity: 65-75+ Height at Maturity: 3”-7” Lighting Requirements: Full Sun Spacing: 18"-2' Latin Name:Brassica oleracea Package Weight: .25 grams Approximate seed count per pack: 80 seeds Sows about a 100' bed (this takes in account thinning)

Bunching onion- Tokyo Allium fistulosum We trialed these on our farm the fall/winter of 2018 and were wonderfully surprised! They grew quickly and to a stunning size of 2"-3" in diameter. Great mild flavor. The bunching onion is one of the most important types of onions in Asia and has been grown in China for thousands of years. A versatile and mild flavor makes it a great accompaniment to any dish. You can grow them in a pot or on a balcony. They do really well when interplanted with other cool-season crops like cabbages or broccoli. We keep ours in the ground until we use the last of them in mid-summer after our salsa season! Suggested Planting Requirements: Starting seed inside is recommended to reduce competition with weeds. Onion seeds are notoriously slow-growing, so be patient! You may also direct sow. Onion seeds have the shortest viability of all common vegetables so make sure your seeds are fresh. Growing Recommendations: There are several different types of onions. Bulbing onions produce a large bulb and can store for some time. Spring onions or bunching onions are typically sown in the fall and harvested as "spring" onions or scallions in the early springtime. Depending on what kind of onion you wish to grow, the growing recommendations will vary slightly. Growing Recommendations for bulbing onions: The key to success is planting them early enough so that they can get large enough to form heads by the time summer or fall arrives. There are three different types of bulbing onions. For success, a grower must know what kind of bulbing onion does well in their climate. We have listed the types below. Plant onion seeds in the fall to ensure production by early spring. Growers can plant inside to protect from the competition with weeds. When the seedlings are 4 weeks old or so you can transplant them out into a moist garden bed or pot. Space out bulbing onions to a spacing of at least 4". The wider the spacing, the large the onions can grow. If direct planting the seeds, prepare the soil with 2" of compost and work the soil to remove any debris that would inhibit growth. Direct sow the seeds and keep the soil moist until full germination. Short Day Onions: Onions that form bulbs when the day lengths reach 10-12 hours. Intermediate Day Onions: 12-14 hours of sunlight required to form bulbs. Long Day Onions: requires 14-16 hours of sunlight to form bulbs. As a general rule of thumb, growers north of San Fransico should grow long-day onions while gardeners south of that point should grow short day or intermediate day onions for a summer harvest of bulbing onions. Growing Recommendations for bunching or spring onions: Plant spring onion seeds in the fall to ensure production by early spring. Growers can plant inside to protect them from the competition with weeds. When the seedling is 2 weeks old or so you can transplant them out into a moist garden bed or pot. Space out spring onions to a spacing of at least 2" The wider the spacing, the large the onions can grow. If direct planting the seeds, prepare the soil with 2" of compost and work the soil to remove any debris that would inhibit growth. Harvesting & Storage: You can harvest and eat green onions in many stages. Young onions can be thinned and eaten like chives while larger onions can be pulled directly out of the soil. Soil Temperature: 50+°F Planting Depth: ¼” Days to Germination: 5-13 Days to Maturity: 80 Height at Maturity: 12"+ Lighting Requirements: Full Sun Spacing: 1-2” Package Weight: 1 gram (about 420 seeds) Pack sows about a 140 feet long bed

In warmer climates watering more often may be needed. On our farm, we transplant out our greens by first starting them in the greenhouse. This allows for perfect spacing and better germination rates than directly sowing into the ground. If you desire to direct sow the seeds into a pot or garden bed, make sure the ground you are planting into is thoroughly moist. This may mean saturating a garden box or pot prior to planting. Harvesting & Storage: Mixes may be utilized as a cut and come again crop. Simply cut plant 2” away from the base to allow regrowth. Cuttings may be kept moist in a salad spinner for several days. Soil Temperature: 45-85°F Planting Depth: 1/4" Days to Germination: 7-14 Days to Maturity: 35-45+ Height at Maturity: 6” Lighting Requirements: Partial Sun/ Full Sun Spacing: 6”-12” Package Weight: .25 gram Approximate seed count per packet: 60 seeds Sows about 20' Row (This takes into account thinning)

Large Leaf Sorrel Seed

Large Leaf Sorrel seeds are a must in every gardeners' seed collection! Large Leaf Sorrel seeds produce large tongue-shaped greens that are tangy, lemony, and so tasty! These brightly flavored greens are one of the first to grow in the spring in colder areas. In zones 9 and 10 this plant can be a perennial. We toss this lemony herb in salads, dressings, on fish, and in soups. It's particularly good in a seafood soup. Suggested Planting Requirements: Sorrel can be grown as a baby green or a full-grown green. You can start seed inside or in starter pots and transplant out when you are ready. By transplanting out you can reduce competition with weeds. You may also direct sow. Seeds are very small and need light for germination. For the best germination, cover seeds lightly with a very thin later of finely sifted soil. Growing Recommendations: If direct sowing you can plant seeds in freshly worked soil. The top 1" of soil should be soft and finely raked. For best germination, cover seeds with finely sifted soil or potting mix, then press down gently to keep the tiny seeds in place. Seeds must stay moist to germinate. When seeds have germinated and are about 2" tall, space them out to at least 6" apart to produce happy healthy plants. If you are transplanting Sorrel, simply transplant with a minimum spacing of 6" in a full sun spot in the garden during mild weather, and a dappled shade spot during hot weather. Harvesting & Storage: Harvest Sorrel as baby greens at 40 days or full size at 60 days. Sorrel can last for many seasons in a garden, so plan out where you want to plant it.
