Old Historic Vegetable Assortment - Seed kit

For this seed kit we selected the finest open-pollinated vegetable cultivars, which have been widely known and were once very popular in past history but which have currently and undeservedly so, moved slightly out of our focus:

• Root Chervil (Chaerophyllum bulbosum)
  Is one true family member of the slow food concept, as it takes roughly 10 month from sowing it from seeds to serving it at your dinner table.
• Sugar pea 'Fruehe Heinrich' (Pisum sativum)
  These delicate peas can be eaten raw or cooked. Old German variety.
• Beetroot 'Crapaudine' (Beta vulgaris)
  They have been established since the 17th century are known for their supreme flavour. These beetroots grow in irregular shapes and tend to be rather rich.
• Green Orach (Atriplex hortensis)
  Their leaves can be picked and prepared like spinach and taste delicious raw as salad, steamed or sautéed.
• Good-King-Henry (Chenopodium bonus-henricus)
  Used to be a common vegetable in domestic gardens. Again, its leaves can be prepared as a spinach alternative and have a lovely tart and tangy aroma.
• Horse Bean (Vicia faba)
  Often referred to as one and the same kind, ‘horse beans’ grow from smaller seeds and have been establish much longer back than ‘broad beans’.
• Purple Carrot 'Zanahoria morada' (Daucus carota)
  Heirloom purple carrot variety
• Sea Kale (Crambe maritima)
  Is a ‘genuine’ local wild cabbage, which has a mild flavour, not dissimilar to broccoli. The leaves can be harvested continuously.

The seeds of each variety are packaged in a separate sachet.
