Includes what you need to start your own Victory Garden.
Throughout history, some form of "Victory Gardens" have been sown during times of war as a way for people to both feed their families and to aide in the war effort. In our modern time, planting a "Victory Garden" has more personal significance. Whatever your reason may be - whether it is to stretch your grocery budget and save money, growing pure food for your family's table, or declaring a degree of independence from the corporate food chain - planting a garden makes sense.
This affordably priced starter pack includes what we consider to be the best and most important varieties we offer. These tried-and-true varieties all grow well in all parts of the US, and give a broad expanse of food that is typically found in backyard victory gardens. In this pack you will get seeds for broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, summer squash, zucchini, lettuce, spinach, bell peppers and tomatoes.
Place a single order for this item and you will get one packet of each of the items shown below at an overall discount. If you prefer, you can order them individually one by one, by clicking on each item in the list.
Di Ciccio Broccoli
An old European variety Introduced in 1890. Compact, 2 to 3 feet high plants, that produce a central 3 to 4 inch head with many side shoots. Freezes well.
All Seasons Cabbage
Also known as 'Vandergaw', this variety is heat resistant, fine-flavored and produces good, hard heads that are ten inches in diameter, average about 12 pounds and are round but flattened on top. Released in 1886.
Henderson's Tendersweet Carrot
'Henderson's Tendersweet' carrot plants have a distinct, dark green foliage. When the roots reach full maturity, they are a deep orange color, average from eight to ten inches in length, and taper slightly from the shoulder to a blunt end.
Muncher Cucumber
Strong, vigorous vines that prolifically produce smooth, tender fruit that reach nine inches in length. Good slicer that does not get bitter and is burpless. Cucumber mosaic virus resistant.
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.
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.
California Wonder (Bell) Pepper
The plants are upright, strong, and produce four or five fruits that are mostly four-lobed, blocky, and 4 by 4½ inches with thick flesh that is mild and sweet.
Bloomsdale Longstanding Spinach
Leaves are dark green and crumpled. Stands well in hot weather. Named after their farm in Bristol, PA, D. Landreth & Co. released ‘Bloomsdale’ in the 19th century. 'Long Standing Bloomsdale' was developed and introduced in 1925 by Zwaan and Van der Molen, Voorburg, Netherlands.
San Marzano Tomato
90 days, indeterminate — Named after the region of Italy from where it originated. It produces paste-type fruit that are red, weigh about five ounces, are elongated in shape, and are meaty and tasty.
