Thanks for looking at my auction. It will consist of 5 different kinds of heirloom vegetable seeds. The winner will get 25 seeds of each.
The first is Green Sprouting Calabrese Broccoli. It was brought to America by Italian immigrants around 1880 and hit the seed trade market early 1900's. The main head will reach from 5" to 8" once it harvested the plant will put off side shoots to harvest.The main head can be harvested 60 to 90 days from planting.
The second is Georgia Collards. In the south it's a old tyme favorite grown in early spring and fall. They mature in 60 to 65 days. You can make them more productive by harvesting the leafs as they grow. These collards have a slight taste of cabbage when cooked.
The third is Tendergreen Mustard Greens. This one of mildest mustard green making it good substitute for spinach. Seeds germinate and grow quickly with harvesting the seedling to full maturity in 30 to 40 days.
The fourth is American Purple Top Rutabaga. These can be eaten many different ways including raw from mashed like potatoes, roasted in oven with other root vegetables, added to soups or stews cube and the greens can be eaten also best did in bacon grease sauteed. The planting time varies for all regions it likes the cooler weather. Reaches maturity at 85 to 90 days. Can pick leafs as grows no more than 25% from each plant.
The fifth is Polk. What is polk its a common perennial native plant. Found almost in all of United States and Central America. It can be eaten but must be cooked. I will share recipes if needed. It is thought to be a potential anti-Aids drug. Also might lead to a cure for Childhood Leukemia. Plus some Native Americans Tribes used it as witchcraft medicine to cause major diarrhea and vomiting to rid
body of evil spirits. If have any questions please ask. Good Luck to all.
