Torpedo Onion seeds grow beautiful onions about the size of a large shallot. Torpedo Onion Seeds are intermediate day length onions that originate in the Mediterranean climates. They perform wonderfully in southern states! 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. Growing recommendations will vary slightly depending on what kind of onion you wish to grow. Growing Recommendations for bulbing onions: The key to success is planting early enough so that bulbing onions 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: Requires 10-12 hours of sunlight to form bulbs. Intermediate Day Onions: Requires 12-14 hours of sunlight 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 Francisco 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 from competition with weeds. When seedlings are 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 larger 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” Allium fistulosum Package Weight: .25 gram (about 100 seeds) Pack sows about a 150 feet long bed

Carrot, Scarlet Nantes ORGANIC

ORGANIC Carrot – Scarlet Nantes Daucus carota Carrots are annual crops that grow in the cooler months of the year. In mild climates like that of Southern California, you can grow carrots year-round with a bit of extra work. This particular variety is a classic carrot that produces tasty, reliable carrots. Ready in only 65-75 days, this finely flavored carrot does well as a bunching carrot and as a storage carrot. "Nantes" is a type of carrot distinguished by their blunt ends that do better in heavier, rockier soils. Our Scarlet Nantes carrots are selected specifically for their productivity in the less than desirable soils of the American southwest. Suggested Planting Requirements: Carrots do best in light, aerated, and well-drained soil. We know that many gardeners and farmers do not have the blessing of such soils naturally. To get the best carrot production out of your garden or farm you need to cultivate the soil to create the lightest soils that you can. For Southern California growers, that may mean working the soil with a tiller to incorporate evenly into the soil large amounts of compost. The compost will help to hold in moisture and create a tilth that is suitable for carrots. If growing in a raised bed or a pot, use light potting soil.

Direct sowing is recommended by most gardening books however on our farm, we transplant our carrots for perfect spacing and the best germination rates possible. Growing Recommendations: Carrots need full sun and evenly moist soil for the best germination. In warmer months, they can tolerate moderate shade. During germination watering is critical and the seedbed must remain moist. During growth period water regularly, using mulch to retain moisture. Harvesting & Storing: Carrots may be harvested at any desired size. Darker foliage will indicate larger carrots, which are generally sweeter due to the time to store sugars. Store in a cool area and avoid washing before storage to prevent rotting.

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

Beet, Detroit Dark Red ORGANIC

Beet- Detroit Dark Red Beta Vulgaris Introduced in 1892 and still a favorite for good reason! Great for fresh eating or canning, this is a superb beet with versatile uses in the kitchen. Growers can use the greens or the globes. Globes grow about 3" in diameter and greens can be harvested all season long. This variety of beet sprouts well in cold spring conditions and can stand the warm fall conditions of Southern California and beyond. Suggested Planting Requirements: Beets are cool-season crops that enjoy cooler temperatures and even moisture. For Southern California, the best beet growing season is from about October to May, but many coastal climates can grow beets year-round. Use shade cloth to extend your growing seasons. The ideal soil is loose, sandy and well-draining. For those wanting to grow in-ground, we suggest you amend heavily with compost, leaf mold, and other amendments to help loosen up the soil and give it a healthy soil structure. If this is not possible, beets are excellent container plants. Fill containers with loose potting soil. Consistent watering is essential for good established roots systems. Direct sowing is typically recommended. However, on our farm, we transplant out our beets for the best spacing and water conservation. Growing Recommendations: Beets can be grown year-round in moderate temperatures. Warmer areas can utilize part shade or shade cloth for year-round growth.
