Bean, Scarlet Runner Bean

This heirloom bean variety is a pole bean that is grown just as much for its gorgeous red flowers as for its beans. Grow it up a fence or arbor and you will be amazed at the beauty it creates! A must-have in every garden. Hummingbirds and butterflies also love the blooms and will frequent the plant. Suggested Planting Requirements: Legumes like a well-drained soil rich in organic matter and a moderate amount of nutrients. Plants should be watered lightly at the time of planting, medium at flowering, and heavily throughout harvest time. Despite the warning against transplanting your beans, on our farm we almost always start our seeds in the greenhouse and plant them out. This allows for perfect spacing on our small farm. Depending on your preference you may start indoors for short-season growing, or seed directly once soils have reached at least 48F, after the last frost. If you plant them too soon in cold soil, your seeds will likely rot. Soak beans for 24 hours before planting for expedited germination. Growing Recommendations: Avoid overhead watering to prevent diseases. The more you pick, the more beans the plant will produce. Checking the plant every few days is a good practice. Space the plants 6-8" to provide ample airflow and prevent fungal issues. Harvesting & Storage: Pick regularly to extend the harvest period. When you have enough beans harvested you can let the remaining beans mature, and dry them on the vine to use as shell beans. Fresh pole beans freeze well. Scarlet runner beans get very large quickly and should be harvested small for the best fresh bean eating. Soil Temperature: 65-85°F Planting Depth: 1" Days to Germination: 5-10 + Days to Maturity: 65-70+ Height at Maturity: 5’-7’ Lighting Requirements: Full Sun Spacing: 1'-2' Phaseolus vulgaris Available package: 9 gram Approximate seed count per packet: 30 seeds

This variety has deep red and purple leaves with dark, blood-red roots. Grown just as much for their colorful leaves as they are for their dark centers. Great for making a deep dark Borscht soup. One of our favorite soups! 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 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. Thinning is important to allow for proper spacing of any root crop. Thin your seedlings at least 3" apart for best growth. Root crops that are left to compete with one another will be stunted in growth. Thin by pulling out weaker seedlings. Harvesting & Storing: Harvesting can start as soon as the desired size is reached. The best flavor is when the beet is about 3". Beet greens can also be enjoyed in soups, salads, stir-fries, and more. Soil Temperature: 55-85°F Planting Depth: 1/4" Days to Germination: 5-10 Days to Maturity: 45-55+ Height at Maturity: 6" Lighting Requirements: Part Shade to Full Sun Spacing: 3-6” Beta Vulgaris Package Weight: 3 gram Approximate seed count per pack: 250 Sows about a 20' bed taking into account thinning.

Broccoli, Steve's Tender Early Green ORGANIC

Steve's Tender Early Green broccoli produces an early central head about 4-7" across, followed by more tasty side shoots. Unlike single head varieties, you will be harvesting broccoli all season long! Along with flavor, this variety is favored for its tender stems and abundant production. Recommended Planting Requirements: Like cabbages, the best tasting broccoli is that which grows very quickly. To ensure quick growth add plenty of organic matter to well-worked soil. Broccoli is more sensitive to warm weather than cabbage and should be protected with shade cloth in areas that have high temperatures in the fall like Zones 9 and 10. Growing Recommendations: Broccoli is a cool-season crop that is best planted with plenty of time to mature. Regular watering and additions of fertilizer can drastically improve your harvest. For fall crops, start seeds 10-12 weeks before the first hard freeze date or desired harvest time. Transplant into the ground during cool temperatures like the morning or evening. Do not allow seedlings to dry out during their acclimation period. Broccoli requires a steady supply of moisture in well-drained fertile soil. For Zones 9 and 10, or any areas where hot weather is present in the fall, we recommend a deep layer of mulch around the plant to retain moisture in the soil. Harvesting & Storage: Harvest broccoli as soon as the heads are large enough for use. Tender side shoots will continue to produce after the main central head has been harvested. Store in the refrigerator for about a week and wash only before use to prevent premature rot.

Bush Bean, Tepary Bean ORGANIC

Tepary beans are a semi bush legume with a long history in the southwestern United States. Native peoples have grown these beans since the pre-Columbian times. Tepary beans are more drought-tolerant than the common garden bean and resistant to many bean diseases. We received this beautiful bean from our friend Mike Reese of Rio Del Ray Beans. The bean pots are small with flat, lentil looking beans inside. A culinary treat and packed with flavor, tepary beans should be cooked like any other bean. Suggested Planting Requirements: Tepary beans can thrive in less than ideal locations than common beans which prefer well-drained soil rich in organic matter and a moderate amount of nutrients. Tepary beans are very drought tolerant. Germination requires moist soil, but plants will flourish in dry conditions once established. Too much water inhibits bean production and can lead to disease. Historically, tepary beans were cultivated by various methods, most commonly after an infrequent rain in the desert or after floodwaters along a river or ephemeral stream had subsided. Despite the warning against transplanting your beans, on our farm we almost always start our seeds in the greenhouse and plant them out. This allows for perfect spacing on our small farm. Depending on your preference you may start indoors for short-season growing or seed directly once soils have reached at least 48F, after the last frost. If you plant too soon in cold soil your seeds will likely rot. Soak beans for 24 hours before planting for expedited germination. Growing Recommendations: Avoid overhead watering to prevent diseases. Space the plants 6- 8" to provide ample airflow and prevent fungal issues. Tepary beans are semi-bush and can climb if you give a structure to grab onto. Harvesting & Storage: Let beans pods form until beans are hard inside the pot. You can let the plant die back and then pull the whole plant (pods and all) to harvest the beans. You can remove beans by hand or dance on the plant in a tarp to release the beans. Beans can be cooked like any dry bean. Soil Temperature: 60-85°F Planting Depth: 1/2" Days to Germination: 5-10 + Days to Maturity: 120+ Height at Maturity: 2’-3’ Lighting Requirements: Full Sun Spacing: 7-10" Phaseolus acutifolius Package Weight: 5 gram Approximate seed count per packet: 40 seeds Sows about a 33' row taking into account thinning. More on Tepary Beans and Recipes: Tepary beans (Phaseolus acutifolius) Tepary beans are a semi-bush bean originating in the desert areas of Mexico and the American Southwest. They grow best in extreme heat and under arid conditions. Tepary beans’ taproot is twice as long as common beans’ (Phaseolus vulgaris) , which allows teparies to take advantage of even small amounts of soil moisture efficiently. Nutritionally, tiny tepary beans (1/4” long, the size of large lentils) are higher in protein, iron, calcium, and fiber than most beans. Their nutritional benefits, sweet, nutty flavor, and relatively quick cooking time make teparies well worth searching out. Jay Bost, in the June 2006 Seeds of Change newsletter , wrote a fascinating article about tepary beans. His discussion of the growing conditions under which teparies thrive makes me interested in trying them in Greece, which has the necessary hot, dry summers: “Due to its native habitat in the Sonoran Desert, domesticated tepary beans … are considered by many to be the most drought-tolerant annual legume in the world. They are capable of producing a harvest of beans with a single rain in the harshest conditions; when irrigated, they produce higher yields only up to a certain point, after which excess moisture becomes a detriment and leads to overproduction of foliage and low bean production. In fact, it appears that moisture stress is necessary to trigger fruiting. Part of the tepary bean's secret to success in dry areas is to grow quickly when water is available. While pinto beans take 90 to 120 days to maturity, teparies take only 75 to 85. As water shortages become a reality in many parts of the U.S. and around the world, teparies will undoubtedly play an important role in dryland agriculture. In fact, tepary cultivation is now taking place in dry areas of Africa and is being revived in southern Arizona.” Bost details teparies’ nutritional benefits: “Part of the tepary bean's appeal, in addition to its drought tolerance, is its superior nutritional content. It has a higher protein content (23–30%) than common beans such as pinto, kidney, and navy, as well as higher levels of oil, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, and potassium. While higher in all of these desired nutrients, tepary beans are lower in polyunsaturated fat and in the anti-enzymatic compounds, which make common beans hard to digest (Hamama and Bhardwaj 2002). Tepary beans are proving to be an ideal food for people prone to diabetes or suffering from diabetes because of the beans' high fiber level. This makes them a "slow-release food"; that is, tepary beans' sugars are released slowly and steadily, rather than in a spike as in many high carbohydrate, low fiber foods common in our diets.” The Ark of Taste is a list of endangered food plants and animals that the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity seeks to protect and defend. Tepary Beans are now on the Ark of Taste. Tuscan-Style Tepary Beans with Rosemary and Mushrooms Ingredients 1 cup dry Rio Del Rey Organic White Tepary Beans 5 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth 4-5 cloves garlic 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped One bay leaf 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil Three fresh sage leaves 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground 1 tsp salt (or to taste) 1 ½ cups mushrooms of your choice, chopped 1 tsp balsamic vinegar 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped One whole sprig fresh rosemary for garnish Instructions Rinse beans in water and soak overnight. Drain water from the beans and rinse them. Add the broth and the soaked beans to a large cooking pot. Add garlic, sage leaves chopped rosemary, bay leaf, black pepper, 2 Tbsp olive oil. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer beans, covered for at least two hours. When the beans are tender, and most of the broth has been absorbed, go through and mash about 1/3 of the beans using a fork. This will help thicken the beans to a creamy state upon serving. Remove the bay leaf and sage leaves; pour the beans into a pot. Add salt to taste. Warm a skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté on until they are crispy on the edges, and cooked through. Stir in 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar and the flat-leaf parsley. Add a pinch of salt to the mushrooms if desired. Fold the mushrooms into the beans and pour the bean dish into a serving bowl. Top with the one fresh sprig of rosemary and serve! Delicious as leftovers too, these beans will last in the fridge up to a week when properly stored, tightly.

Charentais Melon Seeds

Charentais melon seeds produce the most adorable and sweet little cantaloupe-like melons! Charentais melons have been prized since the 16th century in France for their fragrant smell and delicious meat. Charentais melon seeds produce fruits that are about 6" in diameter and weigh about 3-4 pounds. Suggested Planting Requirements: Full sun is needed and high heat can produce very sweet fruit. The pH level for melons should be 6.0-7.0 with soil that is fertile and well-drained. Melons tend to be shallow-rooted, so watering often and consistent is important. Plants can be potted and/or trellised and/or left to sprawl on the ground. Add compost to the planting area to keep moisture in. Growing Recommendations: Melon seeds can be directly sown in a mound of deep organic matter or started in a greenhouse 2-3 weeks before the last frost. In areas with cold springs, you can use plastic mulch and row covers to give the melon enough warmth. Melons must be sheltered from cool winds and placed in the warmest area of the garden. The heat of ideally 90 degrees will condense the sugars. These can be grown in similar ways you grow cucumbers to save space. Harvesting & Storage: Melons should be harvested at peak ripeness. For these melons, you can tell they are ripe when they turn yellow and have a slight give when you squeeze them. They grow to be about 6" in diameter and 3-4 lb. These melons store great and can be refrigerated for about a week before their texture starts to decline. Love unique and rare melons? Try our Kajari Melon!

Copenhagen Early Market Cabbage Seed

Copenhagen Early Market cabbage seeds produce blonde, short-season cabbages that have ball-shaped heads and weigh 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 and 10 you can grow cabbage all winter long with row covers if you are in high elevations. Other areas will want to direct sow cabbage seed after the threat of frost is gone, or start inside 3-4 weeks before the last frost. Growing Recommendation: On our farm, we start cabbage from seed in the greenhouse all winter long and succession plant to have cabbages 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' Brassica oleracea Package Weight: .25 gram Approximate seed count per pack: 80 seeds Sows about a 100' bed taking into account thinning.

Cantaloupe, Hales Best ORGANIC

A classic favorite dating back to the 1920s, this ribbed melon has a heavily netted skin. We found this variety to be a bit more drought tolerant than most. Loves HOT weather. Suggested Planting Requirements: Full sun is needed, and high heat toward the end of the growing season can produce very sweet fruit. The pH level for melons should be 6.0-7.0 with soil that is fertile and well-drained. Melons tend to be shallow-rooted, so watering often and consistent is important. Plants can be potted and/or trellised and/or left to sprawl on the ground. Growing Recommendations: Melons must be sheltered from cool winds and placed in the warmest area. The heat of ideally 90 degrees will condense the sugars. Harvesting & Storage: Melons should be harvested at peak ripeness. The bottom of the melon that is not attached to the vine should omit a musky sweet smell when ready to harvest. They should be cut from the vine and handled very carefully. Soil Temperature: 75-95°F Planting Depth: 1/2" Days to Germination: 7-14+ Days to Maturity: 65-75+ Length at Maturity: 5’-7’ Lighting Requirements: Full Sun Spacing: 3'-6' Cucumis melo Package Weight: 1 gram Approximate seed count per pack: 53 seeds Sows about a 15' bed taking into account thinning.

Carrot, Scarlet Nantes ORGANIC

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. The more porosity that the soil is, the better the growth of a carrot will result. 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 the 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. Soil Temperature: 45-85°F Planting Depth: ¼” Days to Germination: 4-20 Days to Maturity: 65+ Height at Maturity: 12" Lighting Requirements: Full Sun Spacing: 2-3” Daucus carota Package Weight: .5 gram Approximate seed count per pack: 600 seeds Sows about a 28" bed taking into account thinning.

Celery Seed, Golden Pascal Organic

Golden Pascal Celery seed produces crunchy stalks with an unmatched flavor to that of store-bought celery. Golden Pascal Celery is a French heirloom celery variety that grows tall, slender, golden stalks. Unlike watery celery from the grocery store, this variety has a flavorful celery "kick" that makes every dish tastier. Re commending Planting Requirements: Celery is a cool-season crop that needs long periods of mild weather and a constant supply of moisture for uninterrupted growth. You can achieve this in Southern California and warmer climates by planting in deeply amended soil with lots of compost. The compost helps the soil stay moist. You can also mulch heavily to keep the soil moist and cool. Growing Recommendations: Celery can be direct sown or transplanted. We start our celery in the greenhouse by seed in wintertime and plant out when it is around 2-3" tall. You can use shade cloth if planting in springtime to extend the season. Harvesting & Storage: Celery shoots may be harvested as soon as they are big enough for use. We like to harvest many at a time to place in a vase of water that stays in the fridge. This practice allows us to have quick access to one of our favorite recipe starters! Once the days get longer and the weather warms, your celery will want to go to seed. You can let the plant go to seed and harvest celery seed for a kitchen herb. We mix it with salt to make celery salt. So delicious!

Lovage is a specialty culinary and medicinal herb. Young leaves taste like celery and can be used in many recipes. Its roots are also edible. If allowed to flower, the flowers are a favorite of beneficial insects such as lacewings, parasitic wasps, and more. Re commending Planting Requirements: Lovage is a cool-season crop that needs long periods of mild weather and a constant supply of moisture for uninterrupted growth. Transplant (recommended) 6-7 weeks before last spring frost. Transplant outdoors when plants are 5-6" tall. Growing Recommendations: Lovage thrives in rich moist soil and can tolerate semi-shade in warmer climates. Harvesting & Storage: Harvest shoots as soon as they are big enough for use. The entire plant is edible—leaves, stems, and roots are edible, and seeds can be used as a spice to season dishes. Special Germination instructions: Lovage seeds are small and should be planted close to the surface. Light helps aid in the germination of seeds, so cover lightly with soil. If starting your seeds inside, you can cover the seed trays with plastic to create a mini-greenhouse and hold in moisture. Once seeds have sprouted, remove the plastic to prevent bacterial growth. Special Care Tips: In areas that get hot days in the winter, we recommend keeping shade cloth handy to keep your Lovage cool. You may want to mulch to retain moisture. Harvest leaves when the plant is young to allow more stems to grow. Once the plant has grown sufficiently, you can snip whole stems for use. Medicinal Uses: Lovage has been used as a medicinal herb for a long list of conditions. Although insufficient testing exists, Lovage is suggested as a diuretic and anti-inflammation medicinal herb. It is wildly used as a culinary herb. Lovage recipes here!

This heirloom variety is a knockout with its beautiful gold color and mild flavor. Because this beet does not have a deep dark red color, it has a milder flavor that is not as "earthy" as red beets. For those who want to like beets but are still on the fence, this variety is for you! Globes reach 2" across. 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. Thinning is important to allow for proper spacing of any root crop. Thin your seedlings at least 3" apart for best growth. Root crops that are left to compete with one another will be stunted in growth. Thin by pulling out weaker seedlings. Harvesting & Storing: Harvesting can start as soon as the desired size is reached. You can also enjoy the beet greens in soups, salads, stir-fries, and more. Soil Temperature: 55-85°F Planting Depth: 1/2" Days to Germination: 5-10 Days to Maturity: 45-55+ Height at Maturity: 6" Lighting Requirements: Part Shade to Full Sun Spacing: 3-6” Beta vulgaris Package Weight: 3 grams Approximate seed count per pack: 250 Sows about a 20' bed taking into account thinning.
