Grower’s notes: Choose a spot that gets at least eight hours of light a day. Fruiting crops like melon, eggplant, squash, and okra prefer even more! Check your plants every few days for pest or disease problems; remove infested parts before problems can spread. Harvest when fresh and enjoy!

Brassica Family Broccoli, Gypsy (58 days). Medium to small head size. Very heat

tolerant and resistant to downy mildew. Strong root system.

Brussels Sprouts, Dagan (110 days). Dependable midseason variety that does better in early fall with smooth, medium-large sprouts. (Pictured right)

Cabbage, Tendersweet (71 days). Midsize, flat heads stand well without splitting. Tender leaves are very thin, sweet, and crisp - perfect for coleslaw or stir-fries.

Cauliflower, Graffiti (80 days). A head of purple cauliflower on a large plant! (Pictured left)

Cauliflower, Snow Crown (50 days). Produces good-quality, medium sized heads. One of the faster-growing cauliflowers.

Collard Greens, Georgia Southern Creole (65 days). A Southern heirloom with good resistant to

heat and cold. Offers repeated harvests of dark

green leaves.

Pak Choi, Joi Choi (45 days). Compact, broad white stems, exceptionally resistant to bolting. Harvest at maturity or when young and tender as baby pak choi. (Pictured left)

Kale, Toscano (65 days). Heirloom. Extra-dark green leaves that are non-curled but heavily savoyed. Rich, tender leaves have a softer texture than curly green kales. Tolerant of hot and cold weather.

Kale, Darkibor (75 days). The plants are tall, growing up to 2-3', with excellent yield and better cold hardiness. Leaves are less ruffled and a little lighter than our previous curly kale. Vigorous plants will continue growing to produce leaves for successive harvests as the lower leaves are harvested.

Please be advised that some items available in previous years have been removed from the pre-order demand but will be available for purchase at our seedling sale on the day of pickup.

Soil Test: Before you plant, test your garden soil. UMass Amherst offers soil tests through the mail. The brochure is online: Go to http://www.umass.edu/soiltest and click on “Online Brochure and Order Form.” With the “Standard Soil Test,” follow the simple instructions included in the brochure, and you will learn vital information about nutrient, pH, and lead levels in your soil. Your test results will also recommend amendments to ensure good growing conditions. If your soil has high lead levels, consider growing in a raised bed. Everyone in the city should also consider the “Good Gardening Practices for Urban Soils,” described below, developed for the Boston Natural Areas Network by the Boston University School of Public Health. Good Gardening Practices for Urban Soils: * Wear gloves while gardening * Wash hands after gardening and before eating * Wash and scrub vegetables before eating or cooking * Change gardening shoes before entering home so as not to track excessive dirt indoors * Don’t let children eat soil * Add organic matter to soil, such as compost * Till soil only to a depth of 6-8” * Avoid deep digging or double digging * Use mulch to lessen splashing of soil onto plants * Don’t use railroad ties or pressure-treated (CCA) wood * Backyard Gardens: Do you have space at your house, housing development, or apartment building for a garden? Through its “Build-a-Garden” program, The Food Project offers community residents the opportunity to grow their own food in containers and raised beds. For more information or to apply, visit http://www.thefoodproject.org/build-a-garden or call 617-442-1322 x12. Community Gardens: No space to grow at home, or interested in growing alongside your neighbors? There are community gardens throughout Boston, which you can learn about from the Boston Natural Areas Network: Visit http://www.bostonnatural.org/cgFind.htm or call 617-542-7696. Home Composting Systems: There are a few different ways to have your own homemade compost from kitchen scraps and plant matter from the garden. If you have some space outdoors, try a compost bin. The “Earth Machine” and the “New Age Composter” are two compost bin brands that are easy to assemble and rodent-resistant. These bins are available for purchase at Boston Building Resources, 100 Terrace Street, Mission Hill, 617-442-2262. No space outdoors? Try an indoor worm bin. The book Worms Eat My Garbage by Mary Applehof is a great resource. Gardening Workshops and Tips: The Trustees-—Boston Region is a great resource for the “how-to’s” of gardening. They offer workshops on a variety of topics in their summer-long series “Seed, Sow, and Grow.” They also offer courses for community and home gardeners, the “Master Urban Gardener” and “Master Urban Gardener at Home.” A list of tips and resources is maintained on their website at bostonnatural.org, or you can call 617-904-7757

Victory Programs’ ReVision Urban Farm is an innovative urban micro-farm that grows produce, fruits, and herbs with environmentally regenerative methods. We provide access to affordable and nutritious food from our one acre farm to our community through our CSA, farm stand, and farmers’ markets and to residents of our ReVision Family Home. In association with ReVision Family Home, we also provide job training for Boston youth and homeless women. At our seasonal farm stand and our markets in greater Boston we offer a full variety of locally grown produce to our community from July to October every year. At very affordable prices, we offer a wonderful selection that changes with the seasons. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) brings the consumer into a direct relationship with the grower through the sale of produce to members of the community. Subscribers to Victory Programs’ CSA buy into a share of our harvest each week from June through October. This commitment allows us to grow produce with confidence, knowing the crops have been purchased by people who care about the health of the land and their community. ReVision Urban Farm also provides a wide variety of job-training and educational opportunities to area youth and others in the community. Our summer youth program employs young people from Boston to work with us in our fields and markets. The farm also works with job trainees from the ReVision Family Home shelter in our Job Readiness Program and hosts hundreds of youth and adult volunteers throughout the year.

Hot Peppers, $2.50 per 4” pot Grower’s Notes: Hot peppers thrive in full sun. Add organic fertilizer or compost at transplant, but avoid fertilizing during fruiting— that directs the plants to grow more foliage and less fruit. At harvest, we recommend gloves to avoid getting hot pepper’s “capsaicin” on your hands. It gives hot peppers their heat, but it’s painful if it gets in your eyes!

Pepper, Ancho, Baron (65 days green, 85 red). Mild heat, with abundant, large dark fruits. Excellent for powders and sauces. Better production under challenging and favorable production than most anchos and more consistent than previous varieties. (Pictured right)

Pepper, Habanero (75 days green, 100 days orange). Very hot! Water only when dry for more spice. Can be used green too.

Pepper, Jalapeño, Jedi (72 days green, 82 days red). Big early-yielding plants. Fruits are tapered and an average of 4-4 1/2" long and slow to crack. Medium heat.

Pepper, Cayenne, Ring of Fire (60 days green, 85 days red). Heirloom. Hot, long, slender pepper that fruits earlier and more productively than previous varieties. 8-10” length fruit. Excellent fresh in salsa. Dries well for ristras and flakes.

Pepper, Serrano, Hot Rod (57 days green, 77 days red). High yielding serrano with average 3" fruits. Traditionally eaten green but makes fine chipotles if allowed to ripen to red.

Specialty Peppers, $2.50 per 4” pot Pepper, Padron (60 days). Heirloom. Harvest when they are 1-1 1/2" long. About 1 out of 10 fruits will be hot, and the rest mild. All the fruits become hot if allowed to grow 2-3" long. (Pictured left).

Pepper, Shishito (60 days green, 75 red). Small, mild Japanese pepper for roasting, pan-frying and grilling. Typically harvested and used green, but eventually turns orange and red with sweeter flavor. Most are sweet but a few will be hot.

Prolific, spreading habit. 2-4" mild fruits. (Pictured right)

Tomato Variety Packs, $4.50 per six-pack Grower’s notes: Hybrids are bred to be hardy, disease-resisting plants; usually more vigorous and high-yielding. Heirlooms are older varieties that are less common and may have a more unusual appearance and excellent flavor. Cherry tomatoes provide sweet and intense flavors and are fun to pick!

Perennial Herbs, $3.00 per 4” pot Grower’s notes: Perennial herbs may appear to die back in the winter, but the roots will still be alive! In the spring, we recommend trimming your herbs back to encourage new growth for the new season and be-yond. Perennials can be harvested throughout the season, but leave at least 1/4 of the foliage to encourage regrowth. Leaf production will de-cline after flowering. Thyme, oregano, and sage can be cut and dried or frozen for winter use. Garlic Chives / Chinese Leeks (90 days). Thin, flat leaves with mild garlic flavor. The white-colored flowers that appear in the second year are also edible.
