How to grow

Sow each variety per its own packet instructions, since maturity times and spacing differ across crops. Start warm-season tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers indoors before the last frost, and direct-sow beans, carrots, squash, cucumber, and melon once the soil has warmed. Plant lettuce in the cool conditions of early spring or fall. Give most crops full sun and well-drained soil.

Flavor profile

Spans sweet, earthy carrots, buttery lettuce, rich classic tomato, smoky eggplant, and mildly spicy shishito peppers for a varied harvest from seed to table.
