Our Values

From farmers' markets and supermarkets to gourmet restaurants and backyard gardens, Leafy Greens (Lettuce, Mustard, Spinach, and Collards) are popular for their various textures, sweet or pungent flavors, beautiful colors, and nutritional value. They're versatile and fast-growing, can be harvested at most any stage, are delicious raw or cooked, and in warmer climates can be grown year-round. For flavor, beauty, nutrition, and ease of cultivation, you can't beat the numerous, wonderful varieties of Lettuce and Greens!

Lettuce is not only one of the easiest plants to grow in the garden, but it is also one of the first to be harvested in the Spring. There is nothing better than that first fresh salad after a long winter without. There are loose-leaf lettuces that continues to grow back after you cut it, but there are also head lettuces that require you to replant your romaine lettuce seeds, iceberg lettuce seeds or butter leaf lettuce seeds each season.

For an earlier harvest, start lettuce indoors as it won’t mind being transplanted. Lettuce loves cool weather, so just plant directly in the garden early in spring and don't pick until the heat of summer. Then, plant a second crop in late summer and harvest through the cool Fall. Those of you who live in the South will be able to enjoy fresh lettuce throughout the entire winter.

One of the most nutrient-rich, low-calorie vegetables you can grow, spinach is also one of the tastiest, lending its mild flavor to both cooked dishes and salads and sandwiches, in which its young, fresh leaves are perfect. Spinach can be grown as a spring and a fall crop, and successive harvests can be enjoyed even into hot weather; for yields in fall and early winter, seed your spinach again in late summer. There are a number of spinach varieties, including crinkled-leaf, hybrid savoy, plain-leaf, and plain-leaf hybrid, some of which are organic!

Quick to mature and easy to grow, with a sharp, peppery flavor--that's a mustard green! These cool-season vegetables are high in vitamins A and C and come in a host of distinct varieties. Boasting leaves that are crumpled or flat, with either toothed, scalloped, frilled, or lacy edges, in shades of dark green, red, or purple, mustard grows rapidly and without stopping. Harvest your mustard when its young and tender by cutting the entire plant or picking individual leaves as they grow.

Ready to eat in just a few days, these sprouting seeds are so easy to grow on the kitchen countertop or windowsill. Use our Easy Sprout or Raw Hemp Sprouting Bag to germinate the seeds almost overnight, and harvest fresh, nutritious mung beans in no time!

Sprouting seeds contain 5 times the nutritional value of their traditional cousins, and add almost no calories to your diet. They are a superb source of vitamins and minerals, and are so effortless to grow and use. There's no reason not to make this sprouting seed a daily component of your diet.

Lettuce and Greens are best started outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring or late summer (for a fall crop). For those living in zones 8 and warmer, sow your seeds in early fall for a winter harvest.

As long as the temperature stays below 80 degrees F, you can keep making successive sowings -- every two weeks is typical -- to extend your harvest. As summer approaches, however, you will want to plant varieties that tolerate heat and resist bolting (producing flowers and seeds too soon).

If you choose to sow your seeds indoors, do so 4 weeks before planting out, at a temperature of 65 to 68 degrees F. Expect germination in 7 to 10 days.

Leafy Greens prefer fertile, well-drained soil, so before planting add compost or manure. This will provide important nutrients and improve drainage.

They will produce in light shade but grow the best in areas with full sun exposure.

Seeds should be scattered in a row and covered lightly with soil. Keep the soil moist until they germinate.
