Believed to be of very ancient origin, the spoon-shaped, dark green, evenly spaced leaves make tatsoi a plant worthy to be grown for its decorative value alone! More nutritious (high calcium and vitamin content) and more flavorful (slightly mustard-like) than traditional bok choy; many consider it a superior flavor, and it is prized for its smooth texture. 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!

Grow this star in your garden! Selected for its heat tolerance, it’s great for spring sowing. The big, 6″-8″ blue-green, tightly-packed heads of ‘Belstar’ are followed by many smaller side-shoots for multiple harvests. It also grows well in the winter in mild climates.

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.
