Friends, rather than selling and shipping seeds, we now share seeds as an embodied gift practice. We are shipping all orders prior to August 28th as quick as we can, though your seeds may not arrive ’til October. Thanks for your patience and grace! Learn how to receive seeds from us & here are our FAQs.
Diverse Brassica species
A riot of colors and textures to satisfy your spice tooth! You’ll harvest leaves from lime green to deep purple, from flat to hyper-frill, from sweet dijon to knock-your-socks-off. We love this Organic Mighty Spicy Mesclun Mix with goat cheese and caramelized pecans! With ample water and fertility, you’ll easily enjoy three harvests of this cut-and-come-again mix in gardens, raised beds or containers; under hoops and floating row cover, we’re easily enjoying this mix well into December when sown in September.
