Marigolds germinate quickly, sprouting within a few days and blooming in about 8 weeks, making them easy to grow from seed. Sow seeds directly outside after all danger of frost, 1 inch apart and water thoroughly after planting.

Marigolds only need enough water to dampen the soil, and they only require watering about once every ten days. The soil should be allowed to dry out on the surface before watering. The base of the plant should receive the water, and the plant should not be watered from overhead.

Marigolds thrive in cool season, it is best to plant during spring. Marigolds can even handle the reflected heat and light of paved surfaces as long as they get regular moisture. Another fun fact, marigolds bloom better and more often in poorer soil!

Rainbow Swiss Chard is a striking leafy green with vibrant stems in shades of red, pink, yellow, orange, and white paired with broad, dark green leaves. It has a mild, slightly earthy flavor similar to spinach, with tender leaves and crisp, colorful stalks. Highly nutritious, it’s rich in vitamins A, C, and K, plus iron and magnesium—pretty and powerful.

Rainbow Swiss chard is super versatile. The leaves cook quickly and are great sautéed with garlic and olive oil, added to soups, stews, curries, or stirred into pasta and rice dishes.

It’s also excellent in omelets, quiche, lasagna, and stuffed dishes, or lightly wilted as a spinach substitute.

The 'golden' onion of Parma, Italy. A late maturing onion with golden upright top-shaped large bulbs. Excellent storage quality. Compares to any of the top yellow varieties for taste. The shape makes for great slicing. Long Day. Untreated seed.

Golden onions of Parma stand out for their refined simplicity, enclosed in a skin with a sophisticated colour. On the inside, however, it is extremely simple and genuine, so much so that it is appreciated worldwide. It is, in fact, an antique variety famous throughout Europe.

Golden onions of Parma are particularly resistant and easy to preserve. They are large and pyramid in shape and range from straw yellow to intense gold.

This variety takes a long time to develop. It is sown in mid-winter between December and February, but is not harvested until the summer, between mid-July and the end of August. One of the reasons that makes it so successful lies in its storage properties: golden onions of Parma can be perfectly preserved until well after the winter, especially if stored in a cellar or pantry, inside a basket covered with a sheet of newspaper, in a paper bag or cardboard box, where any chance of humidity that might cause the growth of micro-organisms is kept under control.

Which cooking methods bring the best out of the golden onion of Parma? Thanks to its intense taste, it is not very suitable to be consumed raw. On the contrary, its sweet taste can be best savoured in dishes that are cooked slowly, such as soups or braised meats. These qualities have earned it a place of honour on any table in Emilia, but also the Marche region – where it is popular in onion and tomato omelette – and in Umbria, the home of the “cipollata”, or onion stew. Even in simpler preparations, the golden onion of Parma will bowl you over with its sweet taste: try it baked, cut into slices and fried with breadcrumbs, served with anchovy fillets or a few slivers of hard cheese.

From a nutritional viewpoint, the golden onion of Parma is rich in vitamin C and calcium. It also has vermifuge, antiseptic and diuretic properties, being very close to the true rustic onion that are so popular with Emilian farmers.

The red radish of northern Chinese cuisine is both hot and sweet in flavour. It has bright red skin over tender, crisp, white flesh. The tops are delicious and spicy. This daikon is fast growing and slow to bolt, so it can be planted for spring or fall production. So and grow as you would turnips, thinning them to 15-20cm (6-8") apart. For home gardeners on the coast, plan on sowing short rows three or four times in March and April, and again in September and October. This will result in a steady harvest, and they won't all be ready to pick at once.

French Breakfast radishes are a small to medium-sized varietal, averaging 5 to 10 centimeters in length, and have an elongated, oblong to cylindrical appearance with a single taproot. The radish’s skin is thin, taut, and smooth, showcasing a two-toned nature of fuchsia-red hues with white tips. Underneath the surface, the flesh is white, dense, succulent, and crisp with a crunchy, snap-like consistency. French Breakfast radishes have a mild, earthy, and peppery flavor. When the roots are cooked, they develop a subtly sweet, nutty, and mellow taste. In addition to the roots, the leafy green tops are edible and have a crisp texture with a vegetal, green, and slightly peppery flavor.

These radishes all feature white tips and red tops, distinguishing them from all-red varieties like the popular 'Cherry Belle' radish. Most grow small, almost cylindrical roots that are no more than 2 inches long, although some types of 'French Breakfast' may feature a more rounded shape.
