Fenugreek is an annual plant in the family Fabaceae, with leaves consisting of three small obovate to oblong leaflets. It is cultivated worldwide as a semiarid crop. Its seeds and leaves are common ingredients in dishes from the Indian subcontinent.

Fresh and dried fenugreek leaves can be used to finish dishes like sauces, curries, vegetable dishes, and soups. Fenugreek seeds can be used whole or ground and used in spice blends such as garam masala, panch phoran (Indian five-spice), or dry rubs for meat.

Growing ash gourd (also known as winter melon or white gourd) in Canada, especially in cooler regions, requires starting seeds indoors and using heat-loving techniques. Ash gourd needs a long growing season and thrives in warm, sunny conditions, so starting seeds early and providing a greenhouse or warm environment is crucial for success. 

Start indoors 4 weeks before last frost or sow directly outdoors after last frost.

Sow seeds 1 cm deep. Days to Germinate: 5-6 days.

Days to Maturity: 55-60 days.

Romanesco zucchini seeds produce fruits that have a very pleasant nutty taste and a presence that transcends the world of ordinary zucchini. Technically, Romanesco is a type of cocozelle squash, as it develops a bulbous end - zucchinis are traditionally evenly thick along their length.

Packet: 9-10 grams of seed

Super Red forms a loose head with a spectacular magenta red colour. The open style heads are medium to larger in size with deeply lobed leaves. This makes a great baby leaf variety and makes any salad come alive! Slow to bolt in summer heat and keeps its mild, non-bitter flavour. Colour is best in cooler weather but stands up well in summer. Upright growth habit. CULTURE: Lettuce is a sun-loving cool weather crop that grows best in organic, well drained soil. Sow as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, then every two weeks thereafter to ensure a continuous supply. Sow about 3 mm (1/8″) deep in rows 45 cm (18″) apart. An even supply of moisture during the entire growth period is imperative for success. Harvest leaf lettuce by either pulling the entire plant or by cutting leaves from the main stem at least 2.5 cm (1″) above the base – this will allow the plant to sprout new leaves. Harvest head lettuce by cutting the head off at the base just below the lower leaves. Once lettuce bolts (starts to produce a rapidly growing flower stem) leaves become bitter.

Mix of red, white, rose pink, purple, and bi-color (red top, white base) radishes

Easter Egg radishes are small in size, averaging 2 to 4 centimeters in diameter, and have a round to oval appearance tapering to a single taproot. The radish’s skin is semi-thin, smooth, and taut, showcasing various hues, depending on the variety, ranging in color from pink, purple, red, and white. Underneath the surface, the white, cream-colored, to ivory flesh is dense, firm, and exceptionally crisp. The flesh is also succulent, crunchy, and moist. Easter Egg radishes are known for their colorful nature and crisp, snap-like consistency and have a mild and peppery flavor with earthy and sweet undertones. The radishes also produce green leafy tops that are broad, flat, and serrated, attached to pale green, fibrous stems. The edible leaves can grow 15 to 20 centimeters in height and contribute a vegetal, green, and piquant taste.

A pumpkin seed, also known in North America as a pepita, is the edible seed of a pumpkin or certain other cultivars of squash. The seeds are typically flat and asymmetrically oval, have a white outer husk, and are light green in color after the husk is removed.

Pumpkins are actually a type of winter squash. Many varieties can send out vines that are 10 to 20 feet long, which can be challenging for a raised-bed garden. One option is to grow them on a trellis, such as the Cucumber Trellis. Use a mesh bag or fabric to help support especially heavy fruit. Another technique is to plant them on an outside corner of your raised bed and let the vines ramble onto the grass.

Like summer squash, winter squash need rich soil that's been amended with compost. They need warm weather and warm soil to grow and produce well. In most cases, it takes 90 to 100 days from planting seeds until the squash are ripe. Cold-climate gardeners may want to get an early start by planting seeds indoors about three weeks before the last spring frost. Plant two seeds per 3" pot, and cut off one if both grow.

Transplant into the garden a week or two after the last spring frost. You can warm the soil by covering it with clear plastic, which works better than the traditional black plastic, as long as you seal the edges with soil to contain the heat.

Some winter squash and pumpkins — the bigger ones, generally — will only produce a couple of fruit per plant. The seed catalog or seed packet should tell you what to expect. Pumpkins are always fun for kids, but not always good for pie. If you want jack-o-lanterns, you can grow any variety; for pies and soups, look for "pie pumpkins" or "sugar pumpkins," which have sweeter, more flavorful flesh.
