6 Varieties of Heirloom Vegetable Seeds, including:

Romanesco Broccoli

Romanesco Broccoli (or Broccoflower)is a beautiful and unique cool-weather crop with a nutty flavor and firm texture. Plants need full sun and cool soil, great for Fall planting.

Black Beauty Eggplant

Black Beauty eggplant is an extremely popular heirloom variety with a classic bell shape and shiny deep purple, almost black skin. Plant in a warm spot with lots of sun.

Marconi Red Pepper

Marconi Red Pepper is a classic Italian red pepper, excellent for sauces and for canning. These long sweet tapered peppers are a gardener's delight and do well in containers or in the ground.

Roma Tomato

Roma Tomatoes are grown for their rich taste that is perfect for preserving in tomato sauce and tomato paste. These meaty tomatoes grow to about 3" long. Prolific, compact vines are perfect for container gardens.

Lolla Rosa Lettuce

Lolla Rosa lettuce grows rich magenta and green leaves in loose heads with curly leaves. It has a mild flavor, fantastic for salads and sandwiches. It is hardy in cool weather and can be continually harvested and regrown.

Lacinato Kale

Lacinato is a favorite kale with bluish green leaves that have a bumpy texture. Lacinato kale is a fantastic green for winter months, because the frost makes the nutritious leaves even more tender and sweet.

Grow the Freshest Ingredients

These vegetables would make a great addition to any Italian dish.

Eggplant is often used in dishes like Eggplant Parmesan or Caponata, while red peppers can be roasted and served as a side dish or added to pasta sauces. Roma tomatoes are a staple ingredient in many Italian dishes, including marinara sauce and bruschetta. Romanesco broccoli can be roasted or sautéed and served as a side dish, while lolla rosa lettuce can be used in salads. Lacinato kale is often used in soups or stews and can also be used in salads.

Grow Together

While all of these vegetables can be planted together in the same garden, it's important to consider their individual growing requirements to ensure a successful harvest. For example, eggplants and peppers need warm soil to thrive, while kale and lettuce prefer cooler temperatures. Additionally, broccoli and kale are heavy feeders and require nutrient-rich soil, while tomatoes and peppers need well-draining soil.

It's also important to consider the amount of space each plant needs to grow to avoid overcrowding and competition for nutrients. Overall, with proper planning and care, these vegetables can be planted together to create a diverse and fruitful garden.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

2. Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.

3. Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

4. What zones can you grow your seeds in?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

5. What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
