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.
Swiss Chard (Beta vulgaris – Cicla Group) 50 seeds per pkg. – $3.00
310. Lucullus – 70 days Limited offering. Swiss chard is best left until the first frost, but this type is good all season. It can be left in a plot like spinach to self-seed if the deer don’t get it all! Sold out for 2012.
311. Giant Green – 70 days These seeds are from some I grew in the Okanagan that was in the garden of the house I bought. They produce large leaves with lighter ribs, good quality and tenderness. Flavor is best after a frost, if you can keep the deer away but also good when very young.
