Urban Gardening Vegetable Seeds Pack

Basil, Spicy Globe (Boxwood)
At its maximum size it's about the size of a basketball and produces hundreds of little leaves, and packs a real punch with flavor and fragrance. We often grow several dozen of these and harvest them all the same time, hang them to dry, and then crumble the leaves into a jar for use through the winter. It's also good for fresh use, as well.

All Seasons Cabbage

Early Prolific Straightneck Summer Squash
Best harvested (our opinion) when the fruit is five to six inches long and still tender. Mature size is 12 to 14 inches.

Black Beauty Zucchini Summer Squash
The bush-type plants of 'Black Beauty' zucchini are early and very productive. Although you can use this summer squash at just about any size, we start picking fruit when they are about six to eight inches long by two inches in diameter and dark green in color. We prefer them at this young and tender stage when they are excellent lightly steamed, sautéed, or stir-fried. They reach a black-green to almost black at maturity.

Arugula

Also known as rocket or roquette and is popular in Italian cuisine. Adds an interesting tangy flavor to an otherwise bland salad. All plant parts are edible and harvest is enjoyed over a long period as it is a cut and come again plant.

It prefers cool weather so start sowing successive plantings directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Also try an early to mid-fall planting in a cold frame or greenhouse for harvest throughout the winter.

Sow seed ¼ inch deep in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Best soil temperatures for germination is 40 to 50ºF. Sow about one inch apart thinning plants to a spacing of about six inches. Harvest when the leaves are 2 to 3 inches long.

All The Year Round Butterhead Lettuce
Medium-sized heads stay firm and solid even in hot weather. Can be sown in most locations from about March through August for a nearly "year-round" harvest periods. It does well in both hot and cooler locations.

Warrior Bunching Onion

Italian Parsley
Plants have deeply cut, dark green leaves with a rich, strong flavor; generally stronger in flavor than the curled types. Excellent for flavoring. Parsley has been cultivated for centuries and is used as a garnish, palate cleanser, flavoring in soups, salads, as a seasoning in other recipes, and medicinally.

Sungold Sunflower
After all danger of frost has passed, sow seeds outdoors directly into your flowerbeds, gardens or large containers. Cover seeds with ½ inch of fine soil and firmly pack. Thin the seedlings to a final spacing of twelve to eighteen inches apart. 'Sungold' is a dwarf sunflower variety that only grows 24 and 36 inches tall. The flowers are also unusual. Instead of the typical sunflower shaped flower, they are quite bushy and full of small petals. This makes them popular with pollinating insects. They also are great as cut flowers for both home and market. Because of their compact size, they are nice to add as a border planting in your gardens and beds. Sunflowers are very easy to grow and make a good choice for novice gardeners and kids. Blooms in the summer and into the fall.
