We have been growing Bietina Chard since the 1990's.
This family heirloom from Italy , is one of our favourites. In colder locations, try overwintering with some protection, like a cloche or greenhouse. Straw mulch overwinter for continuous winter production. It is a perennial in Zone 8 and 9. Fresh seed now available. Mild taste without the oxalic acid tang !!

Beta vulgaris - Another exclusive, this rare leafy green originates in Italy. We like to call it the Italian Swiss Chard. The leaves are tender, a medium green colour with smooth edges. It is noted that the oxalic acid content is lower, which gives that metallic tang to other chards and beet greens....

Ed's Red Shallot is ready to share for 2027!

This next variety in our Endangered program is one of the few non hybrid Shallots left in the world today. We have been growing Ed's Red for a number of years and this year, thanks to Melanie from Small Earth Farm here on Salt Spring Island, we are delighted to share this seed more widely. I know she loves it as much as we do ! The flavour is superb and stores for many months. Easy to grow from seed.

The weather is changing and the harvest season continues! We have updated our local Seed Rack in the Country Grocer flower department. With climate change in full force now, our growing conditions have changed. Our fall and spring seeding schedules are much longer. We have been testing the so called boundaries with great success! You will find many new additions for direct sown fall varieties including vegetables, herbs and flowers. It is not too late for many of your favourites!

One of our greatest perennial varieties ! We first received this seed from England 25 years ago. Now has become Endangered. Sorry we can't mail to our European friends. A beautiful crop of seeds this season, so we can offer larger seed packets for 2027. With climate change in full swing, I expect the survival of this living treasure in more locations than ever! In colder locations, start in late winter indoors.

An overwintering sprouting type which is also perennial in Zone 8. This endangered English variety forms small delicious dense multiple white florets in early spring. Plants can become quite large with multiple branches. Allow them to flower as the bees love the blossoms. Cut them back in late summe...

We are now shipping Egyptian Walking Onions. The perfect time for planting across Canada is September and October . In our location, into November. Once your bed is established, try harvesting the small bulbs after they send up their seed bulbils. They are shaped like a small shallot and add a delicious taste to your favourite stir fry !

This ancient perennial variety dates back to the time of the Pharaohs. This is a top set type, which produces seed in the form of tiny onions or bulbils. During mid-summer, each plant sends up a tall stalk with a cluster of these onions on top. When the stalk dries down, it will fall over or “walk...

It was a mad dash, to harvest the Egyptian Walking Onion bulbils this week. Following the trend of 1 month early, we will be ready to offer the fresh crop for sale in about 2 weeks time. Once they were safely under cover and ready to be dried , we had thunder and a down pouring of rain. Very uncommon in our part of the world and greatly appreciated by our dry gardens . We also had a chance to stir fry the small onions that are not as famous as the greens. Resembling a very small Shallot, they are so strong , lending a delicious flavour . One final note, when you start to get your own bulbils, those little minis make amazing pickles . Not bad for our oldest living vegetable on the planet !
