Cole Crops
The cole crops listed here are basically most of those in the brassica
family - broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, etc.
They're good n' hardy for our northern gardens, preferring the
cool weather of Spring and Fall over the heat of Summer. They can be
direct seeded in the garden as soon as soil can be worked, although I
generally start my plants indoors 4-6 weeks before planting out.
They can take a bit of frost, so you don't have to wait as long
to transplant as you do with squash, tomatoes or peppers. Flea
beetles love them, taking little "pepper-shot" bites out of leaves and
flying away really quick. Protect your plants by using floating
row cover.
Approximately 300 seeds/gram.

Broccoli
CALABRESE SPROUTING
Certified Organic
 60 days
from transplant. This is an old Italian open-pollinated variety
that is perfect for home gardeners that want a continuous harvest of
broccoli through the season. It isn't much for producing a large,
single head, but has very prolific side shoots that give you smaller
florets perfect for popping directly in the stir-fry or as dippers.
The more you cut, the more they grow!

Brussel Sprouts
CATSKILL / LONG ISLAND IMPROVED
95 days from transplant. In the world of brussel
sprouts-gone-hybrid, Catskill is an open-pollinated variety that's
holding its own. Reliable maturation of green 1-1.5" sprouts that
can be harvested as you need them. Excellent flavour and very
easy to blanch and freeze for winter eating.

Chinese Cabbage
TAISAI
Certified Organic
45 days. This bok-choi type of cabbage is becoming more
familiar in our cooking. Thick juicy white stalks with dark
green leaves form a fairly tight but upright head. Excellent in
stirfries and other Asian dishes.
Product code: 1207-co

MICHILI
55 days. Heads grow nice and tall to 18", and are one of
the first early maturing crops in the spring. Protect from flea
beetles with floating row cover if needed.

Cauliflower
EARLY SNOWBALL A
60 days.
I was surprised to find these guys heading up so soon in the
garden last year! Nice bright white heads even though this
variety is not self-wrapping. Tender yet crisp, heads hold their
harvestable stage for quite a while allowing for spaced out harvests.
Product code: 1206
Price: 1g = $2.50, 5g = $7.50 |
Kohlrabi
EARLY WHITE VIENNA
50 days.
Not the most popular cole crop, as it is kinda funny looking and
people don't really know what to do with it. Don't be afraid of
the wonderful world of kohlrabi! The swollen stem is the desired
part, and is best with harvested at about 2-3" diameter (when larger it
tends to get woody). The stem is light green with white flesh,
and a crisp juicy texture. Excellent raw as kohlrabi-sticks (like
carrot sticks!) for dipping, grated into salads, or cubed into stews.
