High Mowing Organic Seeds - Pretty much the sweetest pepper we’ve ever tasted. Small red peppers have unbelievable sweetness and a rich complex flavor. Bred with an emphasis on flavor, yields and plants that stand up straight for easy harvest.

Characteristics: Organic, non-GMO, and open-pollinated 3-5" fruits Bred by High Mowing 10 Seeds Very Sweet Instructions - Sow seeds indoors ¼” deep. Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge. Wait to transplant outdoors until the soil is warm.

Peppers can be harvested and eaten at either the unripe (green) or ripe (colored) stage. Colored peppers generally require 2 – 4 weeks longer. Store peppers at 50° - 54°F and 95% percent relative humidity. Chilling injury occurs at temperatures below 45°F.

Strawberry Spinach: The Edible Heirloom Curiosity 🍓🍃 The Seed Savers Exchange - (Chenopodium capitatum) (aka Strawberry Blite) Grown in Europe for centuries. Very showy compact 18" plants are grown for their nutritious triangular toothed leaves and tender shoots, used in salads or steamed. Shiny red mulberry-like fruits are edible and can be added to salads or used to make dyes. Becoming scarce. Self-seeding annual, 90 days. Step back in time with Strawberry Spinach (Chenopodium capitatum), one of the most visually stunning and conversation-starting plants you can grow. Neither a true strawberry nor a true spinach, this dual-purpose heirloom offers succulent, nutritious greens and a bounty of jewel-like red berries that look like they belong in a fairy tale. 🏛️ A Botanical Time Traveler Also known as "Beetberry" or "Blite," Strawberry Spinach is a native of North America but became a beloved staple in European monastery gardens in the 1600s. Ancient Roots: It was widely grown in Europe for centuries before modern spinach varieties took over. Natural Dye: Historically, the juice from the brilliant red berries was so concentrated it was used by indigenous peoples and early settlers as a natural dye for cloth, basketry, and even as a primitive ink. A Renaissance Rediscovery: After nearly disappearing from commercial catalogs in the 20th century, it has seen a massive resurgence among heirloom enthusiasts who value "edible landscapes." ✨ Why You’ll Love Growing It Two-in-One Harvest: You get tender, nutty leaves for your salads and bright red berries for snacking or garnishing. Striking Beauty: As the plant matures, it produces clusters of bright crimson fruits along the stems, creating a dramatic contrast against the jagged green foliage. Heat Tolerant: Unlike traditional spinach, which "bolts" (goes to seed) the moment the sun gets hot, Strawberry Spinach is much more resilient in summer weather. Self-Seeding Wonder: Once you plant it, you’ll likely have it forever! It drops its seeds readily, providing a "volunteer" crop every spring. 🌿 Product Specifications Feature Details Common Name Strawberry Spinach / Beetberry Botanical Name Chenopodium capitatum Family Amaranthaceae (Related to Beets and Quinoa) Plant Type Annual Mature Height 12 – 18 Inches Sun Requirement Full Sun to Partial Shade Days to Maturity 45 Days (Leaves) / 90 Days (Berries) 🍽️ Culinary Profile: Leaves & Berries Flavor Note: Do not expect the berries to taste like a store-bought strawberry! They have a very mild, subtle sweetness with a refreshing, earthy undertone similar to a beet or a mulberry. The Greens: Harvest the young, arrow-shaped leaves early in the season. They taste like a slightly nuttier, richer version of spinach and are excellent raw or sautéed with garlic. The Berries: The berries are most flavorful when they are a deep, dark red. They add a stunning pop of color to fruit salads, can be used to top desserts, or tossed into a summer spinach salad for a monochromatic look. 📖 Growing & Care Tips Direct Sow: Like its cousin the beet, Strawberry Spinach has a taproot and prefers to be sown directly into the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring. Light to Germinate: Press the small seeds into the soil but barely cover them; they need a bit of light to wake up. Spacing: Thin plants to 6–10 inches apart. If left unthinned, they will stay small but still produce fruit. Support: When the plant is loaded with berries, the stems can become heavy. You can let them "flop" for a groundcover look, or provide a small low trellis to keep the berries off the soil. Add a dash of 17th-century magic to your garden beds.

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.

As a wonderful bonus, both the bright flowers and leaves are deliciously edible with a spicy watercress flavor.
