| Radish, Rat’s Tail, Podding |
Raphanus caudatus
Mongri, Snake Radish. (1860) From Java in Southeast Asia. This radish was in vogue in the U.S. around the Civil War, but has been virtually unobtainable since. While Madras Radish pods have a mild radish taste, this variety is for radish lovers with a pungent radish taste much like most root radishes. This variety loves heat and will bear all summer long. Again, no edible root – grown solely for its 8-10” long, slender, dark-purple seed pods, which are produced in prodigious quantity. It really seems like the whole plant turns into pods. Eat raw, cooked, or pickled. 60 seeds. |

Plants get about 6 feet tall and have the familiar bright yellow flowers, smaller than ornamental types but still wonderful to see planted in a whole bed. Flowers turn downward when the seed is ripe to protect it from birds, moisture, etc. 100 seeds. C. $2.00 Also see our Home Oil Press, SOI-9418.

| Vitamin Green |
Brassica rapa
Vitamin Green. 21 days baby, 45 days full-size. An entirely different kind of brassica, with no mustardy flavor. White stalks and very glossy green leaves are good for salad, steamed or stir-fry. Sometimes called "mustard spinach." This green is easy to grow, unfazed by heat, very cold-hardy, with mild, sweet flavor. Godd choice for winter and early spring salads. The stalks, leaves and flowers are all edible. |

| Okra, Cajun Jewel |
Willits is not good okra country; nights are cool here at 1400ft. Cajun Jewel didn’t seem to care. The short plants produced dozens of tender 5”-6” pods, with outstanding flavor. Already a favorite in the South, we suggest trying this jewel in the North too. See our website for recipes. 40 seeds. C $2.50 |

| Pepper, Chimayo |
60 days red. Hotness: 1. An ancient heirloom from the mountains of New Mexico, this pepper is not meant to be very hot—it’s the sweet, complex, ultraflavorful base for chili powder and enchilada sauce. Early-ripening for dependable crops even in the North and mountain areas. Limited quantity--we expect to sell out. 25 seeds. N $2.75 |
