Appearance: Slender green leaves atop distinctive red stems that can grow up to 12 inches tall on plants reaching 24 inches, with cooler weather deepening the color.

Flavor: Mild, sweet, and less pungent than bulb onions, with a crisp texture.

Type: A bunching onion (Allium fistulosum), often grown like a spring onion or scallion.

Origin: An Asian heirloom, popular with home gardeners. 

Planting: Best planted in late summer/fall for rich red color, but can be grown most of the year.

Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil.

Blanching: Mounding soil around the stems creates longer white parts; leaving it exposed deepens the red.

Harvest: Can be harvested young as tender scallions or allowed to mature, cutting and regrowing for multiple harvests. 

Adds color and mild onion flavor to dishes.

Ideal for Asian cuisine (stir-fries, sukiyaki), salads, soups, and as a garnish. 

Beautifully colored red and green leaves. Purple red contrast.

Crisp type of lettuce.

The Moskvich tomato is a semi-determinate, heirloom tomato variety that is globe-shaped, deep red, and crack-resistant. It's one of the earliest tomato varieties and is well-suited for short and cool growing seasons. Here are some characteristics of the Moskvich tomato: 

Flavor: Rich

Size: Small, 4–6 ounces

Maturity: 58–60 days

Uses: Can be eaten fresh or used for canning and cooking

Growing tips: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, sow 1/4 inch deep, and keep soil warm

The ‘Anna Russian’ tomato is an early-maturing, indeterminate heirloom prized for its large, pinkish-red, heart-shaped (oxheart) fruits with distinctive green shoulders and a pointed blossom end. Fruits typically weigh 8–16 ounces and feature velvety, juicy, dense flesh with very few seeds, delivering an excellent sweet, rich, old-fashioned flavor that is naturally low in acidity. Although the plant’s wispy, finely cut foliage may appear delicate or even unhealthy, it is normal for this variety; the vigorous vines are highly productive, producing heavy yields in clusters of two to three fruits, especially impressive for an early-season tomato. Maturing in approximately 65–85 days from transplant, Anna Russian performs reliably and is well suited for fresh eating—particularly sandwiches—as well as canning thanks to its meaty texture. Originally brought from Russia to Oregon, this variety was introduced to the Seed Savers Exchange in 1989 by Craig LeHoullier.

Petch Siam eggplant is a small, round, Thai eggplant with green skin and distinct dark green stripes, often called the "Diamond of Thailand" (Petch Siam), harvested when about 2 inches for a mild, slightly bitter taste and firm texture that absorbs flavors well in curries and stir-fries, growing on compact, productive plants. 

Shape/Size: Small, round, about 1.5-2.5 inches in diameter.

Color: Pale green with darker green stripes, resembling a Kermit eggplant.

Texture: Firm flesh that holds up well in cooking.

Taste: Mildly sweet with subtle bitterness, taking on the flavors of spices like chili, basil, and soy sauce. 

Plant: Compact and productive, producing many fruits.

Maturity: Early to mature, around 50-55 days from transplant.

Harvest: Best picked small (ping pong ball size) for optimal flavor; overripe when seeds turn brown. 

A staple in Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese cuisine.

Excellent for curries (especially with coconut milk), stir-fries, and dips like baba ganoush. 

Violetta Italia produces small heads of purple color. The robust plants appreciate the rich and well drained grounds, at the time of the sowing or the transplantation, then also during their season of growth.
