Carrot - Scarlet Nantes, 6-7" Long
From $499 USDUnit price /UnavailableDescription
The Scarlet Nantes carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a popular variety among home gardeners due to its exceptional flavor, vibrant color, and adaptability to various growing conditions. This heirloom cultivar is characterized by its cylindrical shape, smooth skin, and sweet, crisp texture, making it an ideal choice for both fresh consumption and culinary applications.
Scarlet Nantes carrots typically reach a length of 6 to 7 inches and are known for their bright orange hue, which is indicative of their high beta-carotene content. Beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, essential for maintaining healthy vision, immune function, and skin health. Studies have shown that orange carrots, such as Scarlet Nantes, can contain up to 14,000 micrograms of beta-carotene per 100 grams, contributing significantly to daily nutritional requirements.
This variety thrives in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 6.8. Carrots prefer full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth. When planting Scarlet Nantes carrots, it is advisable to sow seeds directly into the garden bed, as they do not transplant well. The seeds should be sown approximately ¼ to ½ inch deep and spaced 2 to 4 inches apart to allow for proper root development.
Scarlet Nantes carrots have a relatively short growing season, typically maturing in about 70 to 80 days. Regular watering is crucial during the germination phase, as consistent moisture helps to ensure even seedling emergence. Once established, these carrots are relatively drought-tolerant, but maintaining adequate soil moisture will enhance their sweetness and overall quality.
One of the notable advantages of growing Scarlet Nantes carrots is their resistance to common pests and diseases. This variety is less susceptible to carrot rust flies and other root pests, making it an excellent choice for organic gardening practices. Additionally, the robust nature of the Scarlet Nantes allows for extended harvest periods, as they can be left in the ground until needed, provided that the soil does not freeze.
In conclusion, the Scarlet Nantes carrot plant is a valuable addition to any garden, offering both nutritional benefits and culinary versatility. By understanding its growth requirements and characteristics, gardeners can successfully cultivate this flavorful variety, contributing to a sustainable and health-conscious lifestyle.

Lettuce - Bronze Mignonette (Butterhead)
From $499 USDUnit price /UnavailableDescription
The Bronze Mignonette lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is a distinctive variety of lettuce known for its unique coloration and flavor profile. This heirloom variety features leaves that are a rich bronze color, which not only adds visual interest to the garden but also provides a slightly nutty taste that is favored in gourmet salads. The leaves are tender and crisp, making them an excellent choice for fresh consumption.
In terms of growth characteristics, the Bronze Mignonette lettuce is a loose-leaf variety that typically reaches maturity in approximately 50 to 60 days after sowing. It thrives in cool weather, making it ideal for spring and fall planting. Optimal growing conditions include well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. This lettuce variety prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, particularly in warmer climates.
When planting Bronze Mignonette lettuce, it is recommended to space seeds approximately 12 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth. Regular watering is essential, particularly during dry spells, as consistent moisture helps to maintain the crispness of the leaves. However, care should be taken to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
In terms of nutritional value, lettuce is low in calories and provides a good source of vitamins A and K, as well as folate. The Bronze Mignonette variety, in particular, is noted for its high antioxidant content, which contributes to overall health benefits. Incorporating this lettuce into your diet can enhance your intake of essential nutrients while adding a flavorful component to meals.
Harvesting Bronze Mignonette lettuce can begin when the leaves are large enough to eat, typically around 30 days after sowing. It is advisable to harvest the outer leaves first, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing. This method not only prolongs the harvest period but also ensures that the plant remains healthy and productive.
In conclusion, the Bronze Mignonette lettuce is an excellent addition to any garden, offering both aesthetic appeal and culinary versatility. Its unique flavor and nutritional benefits make it a valuable crop for home gardeners and culinary enthusiasts alike. By understanding its growth requirements and harvesting techniques, gardeners can successfully cultivate this delightful variety and enjoy its fresh taste throughout the growing season.

The Burpee Golden Beet, a cultivar of the traditional beetroot, is distinguished by its vibrant golden-yellow flesh and sweet flavor. This variety is particularly valued for its unique color, which not only adds visual appeal to dishes but also provides a different taste profile compared to the more common red beet. The golden beet is rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber, making it a beneficial addition to any garden.
When cultivating Burpee Golden Beets, it is essential to consider their growing conditions. These beets thrive in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. They prefer full sun exposure, requiring at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. The optimal planting time for golden beets is in early spring or late summer, as they are cool-season crops. Planting seeds approximately 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart allows for adequate spacing, which is crucial for healthy root development.
Watering is another critical aspect of growing Burpee Golden Beets. Consistent moisture is necessary, especially during the germination phase, which typically takes 5 to 10 days. Once established, beets require about 1 inch of water per week. However, overwatering should be avoided, as it can lead to root rot and other diseases. Mulching around the plants can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, contributing to a healthier growing environment.
Harvesting Burpee Golden Beets is generally recommended when the roots reach a diameter of 1 to 3 inches, typically around 50 to 60 days after planting. At this stage, the beets are tender and flavorful. It is advisable to harvest them before they become too large, as larger beets may develop a woody texture. The greens of the golden beet are also edible and can be harvested and consumed as a nutritious leafy green.
In terms of pest management, Burpee Golden Beets are susceptible to common garden pests such as aphids and leaf miners. Implementing integrated pest management strategies, including crop rotation and the use of beneficial insects, can help mitigate these issues. Additionally, maintaining healthy soil through organic practices can enhance the plants' resilience against pests and diseases.
In conclusion, the Burpee Golden Beet is a rewarding plant for both novice and experienced gardeners. Its unique color, nutritional benefits, and versatility in the kitchen make it an excellent choice for home gardens.

The Purple Carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a fascinating variety of the common carrot, known for its vibrant color and unique nutritional profile. Unlike the more familiar orange carrot, the purple carrot contains high levels of anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that contribute to its distinctive hue. Studies have shown that anthocyanins may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease and certain types of cancer.
In terms of cultivation, purple carrots thrive in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. They prefer full sun exposure, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily. When planting, it is advisable to sow seeds approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep and 2 to 4 inches apart. Germination typically occurs within 10 to 20 days, depending on soil temperature and moisture levels.
As the purple carrot matures, it can reach lengths of up to 10 inches, with a tapered shape that is characteristic of the species. Harvesting should occur when the roots are firm and have reached a desirable size, generally around 70 to 80 days after planting. It is essential to handle the roots carefully to avoid bruising, which can affect their quality and shelf life.
In addition to their striking appearance, purple carrots offer a range of culinary uses. They can be consumed raw in salads, roasted, or incorporated into various dishes for added color and flavor. Nutritionally, they are a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as dietary fiber. The presence of antioxidants further enhances their health benefits, making them a valuable addition to any garden.
Gardeners interested in growing purple carrots should also consider companion planting. These carrots pair well with onions, garlic, and leeks, which can help deter pests and improve overall yield. It is important to rotate crops annually to maintain soil health and prevent disease buildup.
In conclusion, the purple carrot plant is not only an aesthetically pleasing addition to any garden but also offers numerous health benefits and culinary possibilities.
