Champion Collards, Organic

Thin, tender skin, crisp flesh, and a small seed cavity. High Mowing Organic Seeds - Green Finger blew away hybrids in our trials for quality and yield. Unusually durable for this type; no wrapping needed! A field or open tunnel variety bred by Cornell University; requires pollination for fruit set. Beit Alphas are similar to European/Dutch types with the same ribbed skin but smaller. Firefly Farm & Mercantile: A great cucumber for us in zone 4, bears fruit to harvest within 54 days or so. The cucumber is a smaller variety, larger than pickling and best when as thick as a banana. We grow this variety every other year as the kids love the thin skins. Because of its thin skin it needs to go into a cooler and wrapped in a bag or container to prevent moisture loss just like most cucumbers preferred. It grows flawlessly for us.

🧅 New York Early Onion: The Northeast’s Heirloom Gold The New York Early Onion is the definitive "utility player" for the Northern garden. If you want the reliability of a high-yielding storage onion but don't want to wait until the very end of the season to harvest, this is your variety. Selected for its speed and its ability to thrive in the rich "muck soils" of the Northeast, it remains one of the most popular yellow onions for heirloom enthusiasts today. 📜 History & Heritage: The Muck Land Classic The New York Early has a deep connection to the history of American commercial gardening: Ancestry: This variety was selected from the Early Yellow Globe family of onions, which was a staple in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The "Muck" Adaptation: It was specifically refined in the famous "Black Dirt" or muck land regions of New York (such as Orange County). These fertile, peat-rich soils required an onion that could germinate quickly in cold spring mud and bulb up before the heat of summer peaked. A Proven Heirloom: It is an open-pollinated variety, prized for its uniformity and consistency—traits that made it a favorite for market gardeners supplying New York City's bustling produce stalls a century ago. ✨ Key Features Early Maturity: Lives up to its name by reaching maturity 10–14 days earlier than most other yellow storage onions. Superior Storage: Unlike many "early" vegetables that must be eaten immediately, the New York Early has excellent "keeping" qualities. It features tight, multi-layered skins that protect the bulb for months. Cold Hardiness: Bred for the Northeast, this variety is exceptionally vigorous in cool, damp spring weather. Reliable Shape: Produces beautiful, medium-sized, globe-shaped bulbs with a stunning bronze-yellow outer skin. 🥗 Flavor & Kitchen Profile This is a "classic" onion—it brings the punch and pungency that home cooks crave for building deep flavors in savory dishes. Attribute Description Bulb Shape Uniform Globe Skin Color Bright Bronze / Golden-Yellow Flesh Color Creamy White with Crisp Rings Flavor Profile Pungent, zesty, and savory Storage Life 4 to 6 months in cool, dry conditions 🍴 Culinary Inspiration The New York Early is a kitchen workhorse. Its high sulfur content (which provides that classic onion "bite") mellows into a rich sweetness when cooked: Caramelized Perfection: Because of its balance of sugars and pungency, it browns beautifully for French Onion soup or burger toppings. The Sauté Base: The ideal "aromatic" for starting any mirepoix, stew, or pasta sauce. Onion Rings: Its firm, crisp layers hold their shape perfectly when battered and fried. Pickling: Its early harvest window makes it the perfect candidate for summer pickling projects. 🪴 Growing Information Type: Long-Day (Best for Northern latitudes, generally 35° parallel and above). Days to Maturity: 95–100 days (from transplant). Spacing: Plant 4 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart. Harvesting: Harvest when the "necks" soften and the tops fall over and turn brown. Gardener’s Pro-Tip: "Because the New York Early matures faster than other storage types, it’s a great choice for gardeners with shorter growing seasons or those who want to clear their beds early to make room for fall crops like kale or spinach." Reliable. Early. Delicious.The New York Early Onion is a testament to the power of regional breeding. It offers the perfect combination of old-world flavor and modern-day reliability for any Northern garden.

🧅 Valencia Onion (Spanish Sweet) The Giant of the Mediterranean If you are looking for an onion that combines impressive size with a mild, sugary flavor, the Valencia Onion (often called the "Sweet Spanish") is the gold standard. Known for producing massive, globe-shaped bulbs that can easily reach a pound or more, this heirloom is a staple for gardeners who want "hamburger-sized" slices and a crunch that won't overpower the palate. 📜 Historical Heritage & Origin As the name suggests, this heirloom variety traces its ancestry to the fertile coastal plains of Valencia, Spain. For centuries, Spanish farmers selected for onions that were larger and sweeter than the pungent, long-storing "cooking onions" of Northern Europe. The Valencia type was introduced to the United States in the late 19th century and quickly became the parent stock for many "Spanish Sweet" varieties we see today. It was prized by homesteaders because it bridged the gap between different climates; while many onions are strictly "short-day" (Southern) or "long-day" (Northern), the Valencia is a versatile Intermediate-day onion. This means it is highly adaptable and can be grown successfully in almost any region of the country. Historical Note:First introduced to American gardeners in the late 1880s, the Valencia Onion was a horticultural sensation. In 1894, famed seedsman Peter Henderson noted that these were the same "magnificent" sweet onions once found only at elite city fruit stands, imported at great cost from Spain. By bringing these seeds to the home gardener, the Valencia variety allowed everyone to grow "hamburger-sized" onions that were previously a luxury. They also went by the names The Prizetaker, Spanish King, Giant Yellow Spanish and Denia Onions. ✨ Product Highlights Mild & Sweet: Very low pungency, making it the perfect choice for eating raw on sandwiches, in salads, or as blooming onions. Colossal Size: With proper spacing and fertility, these bulbs can grow to be 4–6 inches in diameter. Beautiful Aesthetics: Features thin, papery skins in a shimmering straw-yellow or golden-bronze hue. Adaptable: One of the most reliable "all-region" onions available to the home gardener. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Plant Type Annual / Biennial (Heirloom) Onion Type Intermediate-day (Adaptable to most latitudes) Bulb Size 4 to 6 inches (up to 1 lb+) Days to Maturity 110–120 Days Sun Requirement Full Sun (8+ hours) Storage Potential Short to Medium (Best used within 3–4 months) 🌱 How to Grow Valencia Onions 1. Starting from Seed:Onions have a long runway. Start seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before the last frost. Sow thinly in flats and keep the tops trimmed to about 3 inches to encourage strong root development before transplanting. 2. Transplanting:Move seedlings to the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring. They are frost-hardy! Space plants 4–6 inches apart. If you want truly giant onions, give them the full 6 inches of space to expand. 3. Soil & Water: The "Heavy Feeder": Onions require rich soil. Amend your bed with plenty of compost or a nitrogen-rich organic fertilizer at planting. Consistent Moisture: Onions have shallow roots. Do not let the soil dry out completely, or the bulbs will stop growing and become more pungent. 4. Weed Control:Onions do not compete well with weeds. Keep the area around your Valencia onions meticulously clean. Use mulch (like straw) to suppress weeds and retain moisture. 5. Harvesting & Curing: The Signal: When the green tops turn yellow and fall over, the onions are ready. The Cure: Pull the bulbs and let them dry in a shaded, airy spot (like a porch or garage) for 2–3 weeks until the necks are completely dry and the outer skins are papery. Garden Tip: For the absolute sweetest flavor, harvest your Valencia onions "green" (before the skins dry) and eat them fresh from the garden. While they don't store as long as pungent storage onions, their flavor is unparalleled in mid-summer! 🍔

Jimmy Red Corn – The Bootlegger's Heirloom Legend🌽 Resurrected from Prohibition's shadows, this blood-red flint corn from SC's Sea Islands delivers unmatched flavor for grits, cornbread, and craft whiskeys. Rare & Historic: Saved by moonshiner "Jimmy Red" ~1900; revived from 200 seeds in 2003. Epic Taste: Sweet, nutty kernels with ruby hue—perfect for artisan milling. Grow It: 100 days to 10-ft stalks; isolate for purity. Indeterminate, high yields (10-15 ears/plant). Story Sells: "From bootleg bourbon to your backyard—taste history!" "Jimmy Red is the holy grail of Southern heirlooms—sweet as candy corn, with a story sweeter still." – Glenn Roberts, Anson Mills. Growing Notes Maturity: 100-110 days; 8-10 ft stalks. Habitat: Warm climates (USDA 7-11); needs isolation from other corn to prevent cross-pollination. Uses: Grits, meal, roasting, distillation. High antioxidants from red pigments. Jimmy Red corn is an heirloom variety with vibrant red kernels, ideal for decorative displays and whiskey production. It grows well in warm climates, reaching 8-10 feet tall, with a 90-100 day maturity period, perfect for southern gardens. Offer it as a unique, historically rich seed for customers interested in rare, heritage crops. Jimmy Red corn (Zea mays) is a rare, blood-red flint corn heirloom variety celebrated for its intense flavor, nutritional density, and cultural significance. Native to the South Carolina Lowcountry (Sea Islands region), it's prized for making superior grits, cornbread, and heirloom whiskeys due to its high sugar and oil content. Origins and Near-Extinction Discovery (Early 1900s): Named after "Jimmy Red," a local farmer/bootlegger who preserved it amid Prohibition-era demand. Its deep red kernels yielded high-proof moonshine, making it a bootlegger's secret. Prohibition Era (1920s-1930s): Thrived in SC coastal farms for illicit distillation—up to 10% higher alcohol conversion than modern hybrids. Decline (Mid-20th Century): Commercial hybrids displaced it post-WWII. By the 1990s, only ~200 seeds remained on a single farm. Revival and Modern Legacy 2000s Rescue: Rediscovered by seed saver Doug Berry on Wade's Island, SC. Shared with Glenn Rogers (Rogers Farms, Walhalla, SC), who multiplied it. Commercial Breakthrough (2010): Glenn Roberts of Anson Mills championed it for artisan grains, sourcing from Rogers. Now grown by select farms; used in high-end products like Hilton Head Distillery's Jimmy Red Bourbon. Seed Saving Networks: Preserved via Seed Savers Exchange (SSE), Native Seeds/SEARCH, and USDA GRIN. As of 2026, it's federally recognized as a crop at risk but stable through dedicated growers.

Renee's Garden - These lovely climbing nasturtiums have charming soft primrose yellow flowers and bright green foliage, much different from the usual bold and brassy color mix. They grow easily in any well-drained soil and will gracefully disguise neglected areas or twine along a fence, trellis, or wall, providing a summer arbor of pretty lily-pad-shaped leaves and long-spurred flowers. As a wonderful bonus, both the bright flowers and leaves are deliciously edible with a spicy watercress flavor. Characteristics: Heirloom Selection Hummingbird favorites Pollinators & Beneficials Annual vine Spring/summer/fall bloom Frost tender Instructions - To start outdoors, sow seeds in spring once all danger of frost is over in full sun (or part shade in hot climates). Nasturtiums need no added fertilizer in most soils. Poke seeds into well-worked soil about 1 inch deep and 3 to 4 inches apart. Press the soil firmly over the seeds and keep them moist. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin 10 inches apart so plants will have ample room to grow. To start early indoors, sow 2 seeds each in individual 4-inch pots of well-drained seed starting mix 3 weeks before the last expected frost date. Cover 1 inch deep. Provide a strong light source. When seedlings have several sets of leaves, pinch out the weaker seedling leaving 1 per pot. After outdoor temperatures are evenly above 50°F (10°C) gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions.
