The term "Apple Romaine" refers to a specific variety of romaine lettuce, not a hybrid of an apple and lettuce. This variety is known for its bright, apple-green color and specific leaf characteristics. 

Color: Bright, vibrant apple green.

Texture: Sturdy, crisp, and crunchy, providing a satisfying "high loft" when prepared.

Shape/Edges: The leaves have a smooth surface with distinctive serrated (toothed) edges and a slightly cupped shape.

Growth Habit: The plant has an upright growth habit, making harvesting easier.

Taste: Like other romaine varieties, it generally has a mild, subtly sweet and earthy flavor, with a slight hint of bitterness that adds depth. 

The robust texture and flavor of Apple Romaine make it highly versatile. 

Salads: It is ideal for salads, including the classic Caesar salad, as its sturdy leaves can hold up to thick and creamy dressings.

Wraps/Sandwiches: The leaves' shape and strength make them an excellent, low-carb replacement for tortillas, taco shells, or bread.

Cooking: Unlike some softer lettuces, Apple Romaine holds up well to heat and can be grilled, braised, or added to soups and stir-fries. 

 Also known as French parsley, chervil is a cool season herb with a mildly sweet flavor that is a cross between parsley and tarragon. Along with parsley, tarragon, and chives, chervil is one of the herbs commonly used to make fines herbs, a delicate herb blend that is used extensively in French cooking. Plants thrive in cool weather and therefore are best suited for early spring or fall planting. Annual. 60 days to harvest. 

Its flavor has a nutty, bittersweet sharpness with a hint of citrus, pepper, and anise (mild licorice). The caraway seed's high concentration of natural essential oils gives the spice its unique flavor profile.

Caraway seeds are also used in flavoring curries, soups, sausages, vegetables, and even liqueurs, such as the Scandinavian spirit aquavit. They're sometimes used for pickling and brining as well. Caraway seeds pair well with garlic, pork, and cabbage.

Anise is known for its natural sweetness and unmistakable licorice flavor. Anise has a similar aroma and taste profile to licorice root, fennel, star anise, and caraway.

In foods, anise is used as a flavoring agent. It has a sweet, aromatic taste that resembles the taste of black licorice.

Sweet Cicely, also known as Anise, Aniseroot, or Sweet Chervil, is a perennial herb with a strong anise-like scent and flavor. It's part of the carrot family and is edible, with leaves, roots, stems, and seed pods all being safe to eat. 

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.

Salvia hispanica, commonly known as chia (/ˈtʃiːə/), is a species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae, native to central and southern Mexico and Guatemala.

Chia seeds have a mild, nutty flavor that works well to complement both sweet and savory dishes. They're very subtle in their taste, though some find the taste to be similar to a poppy seed or an alfalfa sprout.

Lovage tastes like celery, with undertones of parsley and hint of anise. It's mild enough to use with fish and poultry, but has just enough spice to make it interesting. Like many other green, leafy herbs, lovage is low in calories and contains lots of vitamin C.

Also known as starflower or bee bush, borage is an herb that flowers with delicate, pretty blue flowers. The stems, leaves, and flowers are all edible, and they add an unusual note to your food. They taste a little bit crisp and briney, somewhere between a cucumber and an oyster.
