C005 Tsukemono Favorite Pickling Garden
The tradition of pickling is one way vegetables have been preserved in Asia.

C008 Stir-Fry Garden
Our most popular vegetable varieties used for stir-frying are found in one specialty garden. Stir-fry a vegetable or try combinations of these vegetables to find the perfect balance of flavor.
C009 Thai Garden
Your Thai Garden will be filled with authentic vegetables of Thailand because all of these seeds are from Thailand. All you need are your spices, fish sauce, and coconut milk and curry paste.
C010 Baby Leaf Garden
The baby leaf greens in this colorful mix are very tender and sweet when they are harvested only 2"-6" tall. When the first true leaves are well formed, some varieties can be cut above the seed leaves. This offers the opportunity for further re-growth and subsequent harvests. Other varieties are harvested roots and all. Baby leaf vegetables are excellent additions to salad mixes, braising mixes, soups, sushi and sashimi.
C011 Juicing Garden
These varieties are chosen for their delicious flavors and varied nutrients. Vegetables that have been harvested from your own garden and then quickly processed in your juicer or blender make a drink that is fresh and alive in ways that store or bought food can't be - and much more delicious! Juicing and making vegetable smooties can complement your diet. Extracting juice or grinding vegetables finely makes the nutrients more immediately available to your body.
C012 Microgreen Garden
Microgreens are grown in a raised bed or shallow container with a well-drained soil mixture. They are harvested when the first true leaves just begin to develop and are clipped close to the soil level when about 1" to 2" tall. Delicate microgreens are used as accents on appetizers, sandwiches, salads, main courses, and even desserts. This mix has been created with a variety of leaf shapes, flavors, and colors.
