Sesamum indicum. 90-110 days. Sesame is a heat loving plant that can be difficult to grow in areas with cool growing seasons, such as our location in Oregon. We are thrilled that the Northern Sesame Supergroup may be another step towards selecting a more successful sesame for our climate! After several failed attempts wherein plants barely…
Pisum sativum. Purple Pod Shelling. 4-6′ tall vines, pink and purple flowers. Not an edible-pod type pea but the purple pods contain sweet, tasty green peas for fresh shelling or freezing. One of the best purple-podded types we have grown. The purple pods are easy to find when picking. An heirloom grown by the Carruthers…
Pisum sativum. Purple Pod Shelling. Another purple-podded pea from Northern Ireland. This one is from County Tyrone and has been grown on the same farm there since at least 1850. Can grow up to 5½’ tall. Purple pods become mottled with green when ripe and the peas have a good, smooth flavor without bitterness. Our…
Chrysanthemum coronarium. A deeply serrated leaf Shungiku with long stems and mild favor. Usually cultivated similarly to broccoli raab and harvested into bunches. With its delicious mild floral flavor, shungiku is something between an herb and a vegetable; we like to add it to stir fry, beans, omelets, soups – just about anything. Smaller leaves…
Hardneck Purple Stripe type Shvelisi garlic is a very nice hardneck variety originally from the village of Skhvilisi in the Republic of Georgia. With a strong rich flavor it is good for almost any purpose. Famous for its sweet flavor when roasted, it is also good raw (although some may find it a little too…
Silene vulgaris. Perennial. Salad herb native to Europe. Great for year-round salads as it is very hardy. Also good cooked in risotto and omelets. Used throughout Italy for its slightly aromatic flavor much like arugula or chicory, but milder and with an herbal note. Some avoid the older leaves as they have a strong bite….
Antirrhinum majus. 60-70 days. We’re big fans of dark flowers; deep dark purples and reds are always welcome in our gardens. The alluring, velvety crimson Black Prince snapdragon is a great addition to our collection. Gorgeous flowers bloom early and continually up stems that reach 2 ½’ tall. Very attractive to bumblebees. Blooms early and…
Antirrhinum majus. 70-80 days. Snapdragons are one of the classic annual flowers that every gardener should experiment with. These 3′ tall plants are a bright accent in the garden and also make excellent cut flowers. Flower color mostly ranges from dark-cherry red to peach-orange red, defiantly throwing out the occasional bright yellow plant. This mix…
Antirrhinum majus. 50-60 days A stunning example of that magical orange-peach flower color that appears to glow like an eye candy sunset. We love this quality of color wherever we can find it, and Orange Wonder snapdragon is so spectacular that everyone who saw it in our field stopped in their tracks to admire it….
Pisum sativum. Green Snow. 60 days. We were tired of short, bushy snow peas, so when we found this beauty from Peace Seeds, we were very excited. Bicolor purple flowers look lovely on vigorous vines that grow up to 8′ tall. The tender, green snow pea pods can grow to 7” and still be delicious….
Sorghum bicolor. 90 days. By the far the earliest maturing grain sorghum we’ve grown. 7′ tall plants have one goal in mind and that is to make grain. Sugar content of the stalks and quantity of forage is not huge, which helps it mature grain so early. Sorghum flour is delicious and makes excellent gluten-free…
Sorghum bicolor. 120 days. As the name suggests, Jalisco Sugar Cane is the type of sorghum used for pressing to make sorghum molasses / sorgo / sorghum syrup. We have not tried to make it ourselves but the syrup is delicious and the stems sure are sweet to chew on! Produces well in our climate…
Sorghum bicolor. 110 days. We received this beautiful grain from our friend Tim Peters back in 2005 when we drove around the back roads of Douglas County, Oregon collecting samples from his guerrilla perennial grain breeding projects. We saw many perennialized clumps growing back year after year and were intrigued. Although we have succeeded growing…
Rumex acetosa. Perennial. A variety of garden sorrel with nice long, strap-shaped leaves. Good color and flavor all winter. Tolerates dry spells. Extremely hardy and perfect for the permaculture or gourmet garden. We like it added as a small part in salad mixes and sauces, and it is used in sorrel soup, of course. Collected…
Pisum sativum. Latvian Grey Soup. 110 days. Large seeded, speckled brown Latvian soup pea. For those of us accustomed to green peas this unique grey variety is delightful. We were only aware of green soup peas until we traveled to Latvia in 2006 and discovered these. Then we learned that there are many varieties of…
Glycine max. Green. 75 days. A good choice for early and/or short-season edamame production. Unlike many soybeans, Envy starts the season very vigorously in our cool spring soil. Plants grow to 2′ with an upright growth habit. Delicious as edamame, the green seeds can also be cooked as a dry bean if harvested before they…
Spinacia oleracea. 45 days. Glossy, thick, heavily savoyed, succulent leaves can get large while still maintaining a good, sweet flavor. Very dark green leaves have an upright growth habit for ease of harvest either as baby leaf or when mature. A little slower growing than other spinach but the flavor makes up for it. Plants…
Spinacia oleracea. 50 days. The most reliable, proven spinach for winter production. Dark-green, slightly triangular, smooth leaves can get giant, the size of chard leaves. The sweet flavor is perfect for salad mix when baby size and for bunching when fully grown. Not particularly suited for summer production, Giant Winter has proven to be a…
Spinacia oleracea. 28 days baby, 48 full. An excellent deep green spinach for spring and fall production. Relatively heat tolerant, slow to bolt, with excellent flavor. Matador ranked as one of the best tasting in our spinach trials. Round leaves are good harvested small for salad mix, and for bunches once larger. While uncommon in…
Spinacia oleracea. 50 days. With good warm weather tolerance, this is the best spinach we have found for late spring / early summer sowings. While not as early as others, it resists bolting later than other varieties, providing a longer harvest window. Smooth, triangular, succulent dark green leaves have a pleasant, mild flavor that is…
Spinacia oleracea. 45 days. Giant winter type, perfect for spring, autumn and overwinter cultivation, but not summer. With a particularly aromatic flavor, its best suited use is raw, although it is also good cooked. We are always impressed with Verdil’s winter hardiness. The plants can stand in the freezing mud all winter and somehow not…
Softneck Silverskin type Softneck variety from western Washington State. A family heirloom named after Mount St. Helens that grows very well for us, similar to other silverskins. St. Helens is later to dry down and stores well for many months. Clove size is consistently larger than other softneck silverskin types. Has tolerated rust pressure for…
Urtica dioica. Perennial in zones 3-10. Stinging Nettle is an indispensable and delicious perennial plant native to many northern regions throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. Grows wild or cultivated in cool, shady, and damp areas in all but the coldest or hottest environments. Loved for its nutrient-rich leaves that are used fresh as cooked…
