85 days. We have been growing Dragon since 2005 because we love it so much! This carrot exhibits a unique purple exterior, orange flesh and yellow core. How cool is that? But more importantly, it tastes sweet and eats like a carrot should. At maturity, Dragon is 1½" thick, 7" long, and tapers at the tip. Grow it in spring, summer or fall. We like growing it in the fall in the hoophouse—this allows Dragon to develop an intense sweetness. Good storage carrot. Ever been disappointed with the taste of other colored carrots? Dragon won't disappoint.

De Cicco Broccoli
50-60 days. We have been growing De Cicco for 13 years because it is one of the best open-pollinated varieties of heading broccoli. Italian in origin, De Cicco was brought to the US in 1890. It's perfect for gardeners because after producing the main broccoli head, it will produce a continuous supply of side shoots for the rest of the growing season. De cicco has a delightfully sweet broccoli flavor. Allow the side shoots to flower and you can eat them as broccoli raab (flowering tops). In the fall, broccoli leaves can be harvested and eaten li

Hairy Vetch
Hairy Vetch is an annual sprawling cover crop used for soil improvement, including nitrogen fixation and erosion control. This is the most winter hardy of the vetches. Traditionally, it is sown into beds/fields as a cover crop with rye in the fall (September), where it serves to protect the soil over the winter. Come spring it is either added to compost piles by gardeners or tilled into fields, adding nitrogen and organic matter to the soil. Hairy Vetch can also be planted in the spring or summer. In gardens, plant it into bare soil areas as an

Wild Perennial Arugula
50 days. Also known as Wild Roquette or Perennial Wall-Rocket, this biennial (or short-lived perennial) produces edible greens that taste similar to annual arugula. Perennial Arugula is a great addition to permaculture gardens because it re-seeds, filling in bare spaces with a wonderful edible plant. If you don’t desire re-seeding, cut off the flowers, otherwise it may spread too much. Grows 8 - 20” tall. Prefers well-drained soil and is drought tolerant. Coveted by chefs for its intense, unusual flavor. Perennial Arugula is a great addition to

Chives

This is a cold hardy plant, so it can be harvested early in spring and late into fall. It's also a great permaculture plant because it is part-shade tolerant and provides an edible ground cover that reseeds readily without becoming aggressively weedy. Walnut tolerant—they can be planted near walnut trees without being affected by Juglone (the chemical in walnut trees that affect

Introduced to the US around 1861, it was widely cultivated by the turn of the century (this was your Great Grandparents' carrot). Round-shaped, root length is 1¼ - 1¾". Due to its short root, Parisian grows well in clay and rocky soils. Smaller top than other carrot varieties (only 10" tall), Parisian can be squeezed easily into any garden (see Growing Instructions tab). Crisp, tender roots are pleasantly sweet. Perfect for lunch boxes. Help us bring back

It's a crisp-leaf type of lettuce with a loose head. Leaves are bright green with bursts of stunning red splashes. Bred in 2011 by farmer, plant breeder, and seed activist Frank Morton of Wild Garden Seed, Joker has become our favorite head lettuce! Frank has really out-done himself with this one.

Common in Europe, Mache is a vegetable that has recently gained popularity in the U.S. Mache is extremely cold hardy and can be grown in cold frames, low tunnels, or hoophouses without additional protection. Also grows well in hydroponic gardens. Vit produces dark green, oval shaped leaves that grow in a rosette. Plants are very shade tolerant, so don’t be afraid to tuck it away in a shady corner.

Genovese is very versatile in the kitchen—use it in salads, Italian dishes, stir-fries, soups and more. Erica loves it in her "Summer Salad" with tomatoes, cucumbers, olive oil, and ume plum vinegar.

Can be grown for baby greens or for heads. Baby leaves can be grown as cut-and-come-again (they grow upright, making them easy to harvest). Harvest as head lettuce and you'll get miniature, 4 - 6” tall romaine heads with a crispy heart. Little Gem is heat tolerant, so it's a good choice for summer lettuce. We first grew it in 2000 and have been very happy with

Champion Collard

Started in the early spring, collards will produce copious amounts of greens from spring through late fall. Champion is quite cold hardy and with luck (and perhaps some protection), plants will survive the winter and provide early spring baby greens and collard raab (flowering stalks). Sometimes collards will become perennial if flowering stalks are removed from plants in spring or early summer (we have a patch that is 4 years

Melt-in-your-mouth flesh is refreshingly juicy - eat it like ice cream with a spoon! Early, vigorous vines are productive in the north and grow well in clay soil. Emerald green fruits ripen to a yellow-orange with pastel-orange flesh. Will keep for weeks in the fridge. Medium sized fruits (approx. 6" long, 2 lbs.) are perfect for urban and homestead gardeners.

Chopped finely, fennel leaves work well in salads and as garnishes. Throw it in soups, stir-fries, and baked dishes. Easy seed saving plant.

It can be harvested as baby greens or mature leaves. If started indoors during spring, Fordhook Giant will produce a constant supply of greens from June 1st until November. It is one of the hardiest chards, being cold hardy to 15 degrees. Can be
