Brassicas and greens

Broccoli family (Brassica spp.) 100 seeds per pkg. – $3.00

221. Gai Lohn – 65 days  This is a common Chinese green found in supermarkets.  Like Rapini broccoli also called green sprouting, the entire top of the stock is used like mustard greens.  Taste like broccoli only stronger, and great in stir fries.

222.  Green Cabbage – 90 days.  NEW!! This is a winter storage and eating cabbage, large round green heads.  Must be kept overwinter in a cool, damp area for seed production the next year.  Good keeper, crisp and sweet heads.

223.  Red or Purple Cabbage – 90-100 days. NEW this year! This excellent storage cabbage provides dark red heads that are crisp and tasty.

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea)  50 seeds per pkg. – $3.00

295. Bloomsdale – 50 days  These famous leaves are the first to appear in my self-seed patch in the garden, providing an abundance of wonderful leaves for spring salad.  If left in one patch they will readily self-seed and provide you with spinach weeks before ones planted by hand in rows.

296.  New Zealand – 45 days.  This variety has large leaves and is less prone to bolting in the heat.  Good variety for northern summers.

291. Salad mix – 50-70 days.  Arugula, Tatsoi and Kale – a mix of all three for use in full summer, early, mid and late.  Arugula is a spicy salad green, a favorite addition in springtime.  Enjoy all three.  Limited availability
