Lactuca sativa. Green Oak Leaf. 30 days baby; 55 full. Very reliable, compact green oak leaf, perfect for heads or salad mix.

Lactuca sativa. Red Butterhead. 55 days. A really great, medium-sized red butterhead variety. Once popular with market growers but disappeared after the PVP expired.

Lactuca sativa. Green and Red Crisphead. 60-90 days. Heads are green with bronze tips, upright in stature, size up quickly but then can sit in the field for weeks before bolting. Great for folks that like to have lettuce in the garden but don’t like to eat it all at once. Slogun will wait for…

Lactuca sativa. Green Crisphead. 45-55 days. A vibrant green, summer crisphead variety.

Abelmoschus esculentus. Green. 50-70 days. We have been trying to grow okra in Oregon since 2005, and we finally found Burmese Okra, a variety that not only grows well, but also produces seed (well, we’re not sure it’ll happen every year). Nevertheless, we are thrilled that our experiments have led to Burmese okra being worthy…
Atriplex hortensis. 40-50 days. We first learned about orach during our time at Horton Road Organics where its shocking red leaves were a key ingredient in their famous salad mix.

Portulaca oleracea sativa. 50 days. Similar to Munich purslane, but with darker green leaves and thinner stems. French Green Leaf slightly resembles wild purslane but is distinctly different as it grows very upright for easy cutting, and leaves and stems are more succulent with a milder flavor. This variety makes a nice crunchy addition to…

It also has much better flavor compared to wild purslane. High in Omega-3 fatty acids, it adds a citrusy tang to summer salads. Its character seems…
