Broccoli Waltham 29 is prized for its large 4-6" dark blue-green heads and marvelous flavor. It has a reputation as a superfood because it contains a wealth of nutrients and antioxidants that support many aspects of human health. 

Broccoli seeds can be started indoors.

Start seeds inside 8 weeks before the last frost date. Place seeds 1/2" deep in pots with growing mix and place in bright light. After 5 weeks transplant the seedlings 2' apart into enriched garden soil with full sun. Broccoli is a cool-season vegetable that likes daytime temperatures in the 60s and can tolerate light frost and temperatures down to the 20s. 

Seeds take 3-4 months from the time of planting to a broccoli harvest while transplants only take 2-3 months. Unless you start seeds indoors over the winter, it may be difficult to grow a spring broccoli crop from seed, because the weather will warm too quickly. Fall crops are much easier to start from seed directly in the garden. For fall planting, build rows 2' apart and plant broccoli seeds 1" deep and 6" apart. When seedlings are 6" tall thin them to 2' apart.

Broccoli grows quickly and it needs a lot of nutrients. Rich compost will help feed your plants, and they can also benefit from applications of compost tea or from monthly applications of a balanced organic fertilizer. Like other veggies, broccoli needs to be kept evenly moist and water deeply to encourage deep roots. Mulching can help to provide uniform moisture, conserve water, and reduce weeds.  

Each packet contains 50 Broccoli Waltham seeds. Brassica oleracea. Annual. Open-pollinated, heirloom, non-GMO. Harvest in 85 days.

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!

Fire Smart Type

Largely used in Indian and Mexican foods. It can be used to season chili, soups, sausage, and cheese.

Cuminum cyminum, commonly known as cumin, is a spice derived from the dried seeds of a small, slender annual herb in the parsley family (Apiaceae), native to the Mediterranean and parts of Asia. The seeds are small, oblong, and yellow-brown, measuring about 0.5 cm in length, while the plant itself bears delicate white to pale pink flowers. Cumin is prized for its earthy, warm, nutty flavor with subtle bitterness and occasional citrus notes, paired with a strong, slightly smoky aroma that becomes more intense when the seeds are lightly toasted. A cornerstone of Indian, Mexican, and Middle Eastern cuisines, cumin is essential in curry powders and spice blends and is widely used in chili, stews, marinades, soups, rice dishes, and grilled meats such as lamb and chicken. It is available whole or ground, with whole seeds often toasted to release their aromatic oils, including compounds like cuminaldehyde that give cumin its distinctive character and depth of flavor.
