Lettuce, Head
Known for its mild flavor and firm, crunchy texture, head lettuce is great for salads, shredded in snacks, as a garnish and on sandwiches.
Lettuce, Romaine
This is the classic romaine. Its compact, dark green rosette of tall, upright leaves is slightly curly with white hearts and has a crisp, sweet flavor. Slow to bolt. Grows best in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade and even appreciates it in hot climates.
Lettuce, Snip N’ Grow Salad Bowl
Enjoy delicious, nutritious greens as close as your back door or patio table! Easily grow Snip N’ Grow Lettuce right in this very container and simply set it on your patio or deck as an attractive, edible centerpiece. Lettuce thrives in full sun in spring and part shade in the heat of summer. Water your lettuce every day and more often in hot and dry conditions. Harvest leaf lettuce as soon as it begins producing leaves longer than 5-6″. Cut the leaves from the outside of the plant so the main part of the lettuce continues to produce new foliage. This will provide a “Cut and Come Again” harvest. We recommend harvesting your lettuce in the morning after the plants have had all night to become plump with water. Before using, rinse lettuce thoroughly with cool water, shake or pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and store in plastic bags in the refrigerator. Use fresh in salads and on sandwiches or burgers.
Okra
An incredible improvement over older varieties, pods stay tender much longer, allowing you more time to harvest. Dark green pods are excellent roasted, grilled, tossed into stir-fries, and of course, used in gumbo and jambalaya. Pick this spineless variety from midsummer till frost.
Onion, Candy
A day-neutral variety bearing large, white bulbs with a mild flavor. They’re great eaten raw, on sandwiches, lightly cooked in salsas and stir-fries, and cooked into meat dishes, casseroles and other recipes. It’s also a fairly good storage variety.
Onion, Red
This onion is popular for its large size and incredible sweetness. It is at its most flavorful when used raw. It is most commonly used on hamburgers.
Onion, Sweet Spanish
A globe-shaped yellow onion with a crisp, firm white flesh that keeps well. A long day onion, it develops late in the season in the North. Make sure the thick, heavy neck dries well, and it will store for several months in a cool, dry place.
Onion, White
Homegrown onions will make a difference in any dish you add them to: stir-fries, stews, salads, burgers. Whatever the dish, one bite is all it takes to notice the difference. Much milder than yellow onions, white onions are sweeter with a cool, crisp, fine-grained texture. Plant them in well-drained loamy, sandy soil in full sunlight for best results.
Onion, Yellow
Yellow Onion sets are a great choice for gardeners who want tasty green onions early in the growing season and storage onions later in the summer. Onions sets are extremely quick, producing mild-tasting green onions in 2-4 weeks. Onion sets grow best when planted in full sun in rich, well-drained, sandy, loamy soil.
Pea, Little Marvel
Compact, vigorous bush plants produce heavy yields of tender, sweetly flavored shelling peas.
Pea, Snow Peas
Perfect for salads and stir-fries. Semi-leafless 30″ plants put more energy into producing pods, giving you higher yields. Plant 2-3 rows close together and plants will intertwine, becoming self-supporting.
Pea, Sugar Daddy
Sugar Daddy peas have stringless pods, shorter vines and improved disease resistance. Slender, 3″ pods have a deep green color adding to their appeal. The short plants reach only 24″-30″ tall and don’t need support; although a short fence or trellis will make it easier to find and harvest the crunchy peas. Pods can be served fresh by themselves or with dip, or added to give crunch to salads. Add to stir-fries and soups or steam for a delicious vegetable.
