Bee balm, also known as Monarda, is covered with unique, lovely lavender-pink flower clusters that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees to the garden. We chose this variety because it is more tolerant to dry soil conditions than other varieties of bee balm. Plants bloom quickly for a splash of summer and fall color. Pretty in a mixed bouquet of cut flowers and in wildflower gardens.

Very cold tolerant; withstands temperatures down to 15°F. Tatsoi can be harvested even when there is snow on the ground!

An Italian classic, ‘Di Cicco’ is a superb variety, producing numerous, small to medium-sized heads well into the summer for more delicious broccoli more often! We recommend harvesting the main head when it is 3″ in diameter; this will encourage side shoots. ‘Di Cicco’ is a good freezer variety; leaves are also edible, cooked like chard. Seeds are excellent for sprouting!

Sprouting broccolis, like ‘Burgundy’, create one moderate to small main head, but the real show starts as it begins to produce generous side shoots. Purple broccolis are known for being quite tender, flavorful, and full of antioxidants, but in most cases also a bit fickle, needing cool temperatures–not ‘Burgundy’; it’s tolerant of a wider range of temperatures, which means a longer harvest period. Some gardeners pinch the first main floret off as soon as it is visible to encourage more abundant side shoots. Resistant to Fusarium yellows.

There is a good reason the Europeans love Rapini; the tender stems, buds, flowers, and leaves have a wonderfully delicate and slightly bitter, peppery broccoli flavor, that can be enjoyed in salads, stir-fries, or steamed. Budding florets should be harvested just before the flowers open for best flavor. Known in Italy as “broccoletti”.

Is it art or food? Both! ‘Romanesco’ is not actually a cauliflower, but somewhere between a broccoli and cauliflower, with 5″-6″ heads. First noted by Italians in the 16th century, it is now catching the eyes of gourmet chefs. Cooked, ‘Romanesco’ has a delicious nutty flavor and a texture similar to cauliflower. Easier to grow for fall harvest as a warm spring may delay heads until fall.

Modern chefs have transformed this historically disliked vegetable into a much-sought-after food that is delicious deep fried, steamed, or roasted. Give them plenty of water, nutrients, and time to grow before they begin forming sprouts. Covering plants with row covers after sowing will help exclude pests. You can leave plants in the garden into the winter, as they are hardy to 10°F. Frost actually improves the flavor and the plants resemble little palm trees when dusted with snow.
