Mustard Greens Florida Broadleaf Seeds

From $3.90

Brassica juncea

Florida Broadleaf is a vigorous, productive Mustard Green producing broad, dark green leaves with gently serrated edges and tender, creamy-coloured ribs. The large rounded to oval leaves can reach approximately 20 cm long and provide generous harvests over a relatively short growing period.

Young leaves have a fresh, peppery mustard flavour and can be picked for salads, sandwiches and mixed baby greens. As the leaves mature, their flavour becomes stronger and more pungent. Cooking mellows the heat considerably, making them excellent steamed, sautéed, braised or added to soups, curries and stir-fries.

Mustard greens have been cultivated for thousands of years, particularly throughout Asia, where Brassica juncea developed into an enormous diversity of leafy, stem and root vegetables. Florida Broadleaf became a popular American mustard variety, particularly in the southern United States, where cooked mustard greens are a traditional part of regional cuisine.

Fast growing and tolerant of cool conditions, Florida Broadleaf is an excellent cut-and-come-again vegetable. Harvest individual outer leaves while leaving the central growing point intact and plants will continue producing fresh foliage. Cooler weather generally produces milder, sweeter leaves, while warm conditions intensify the mustardy flavour and encourage plants to bolt.

Mustard Greens Wasabi Seeds

$3.90

Brassica juncea

Wasabi Mustard is a lively Mustard Green grown for its distinctive sharp, peppery flavour reminiscent of wasabi. Despite the name, this is not true Japanese wasabi (Wasabia japonica), but a variety of Brassica juncea selected for the pungent character of its leaves.

The young foliage delivers an immediate mustardy heat with a fresh, spicy finish, making it particularly good in salads, sandwiches and wraps or used sparingly as a garnish. Larger leaves can also be lightly sautéed, steamed or tossed through stir-fries and noodle dishes, although cooking will soften the characteristic heat.

Wasabi Mustard is especially well suited to microgreen production. The young seedlings develop plenty of flavour at an early stage and make an excellent spicy addition to microgreen and baby-leaf mixes.

Mustard greens have been cultivated for thousands of years, particularly throughout Asia, where Brassica juncea has developed into an enormous diversity of leafy, stem and root vegetables. Their characteristic pungency comes from naturally occurring glucosinolates and the compounds produced when the plant tissue is cut or chewed.

Fast growing and easy to harvest, Wasabi Mustard can be grown for microgreens, baby leaves or allowed to develop into larger plants for repeated leaf picking.

Spinach Ethiopian Seeds

$3.90

Brassica carinata

Ethiopian Spinach is a remarkably resilient leafy vegetable native to the Ethiopian highlands and cultivated across East Africa for thousands of years. Also known as Ethiopian Kale and Abyssinian Mustard, it is a multipurpose Brassica grown for its nutritious leaves, edible seeds and oil.

Plants produce abundant, slightly serrated green leaves with a pleasantly robust brassica flavour. Young leaves are tender enough to use fresh, while mature leaves are traditionally cooked and are excellent steamed, sautéed or added to soups, stews and curries. Regular picking encourages fresh growth and allows multiple harvests from the same plant.

Brassica carinata is particularly associated with Ethiopian food culture, where leafy greens are an important component of traditional dishes. The seeds are also oil-rich and have historically been pressed for cooking and other household uses. More recently, Ethiopian mustard has attracted interest internationally as an industrial oil and biofuel crop.

One of the great strengths of Ethiopian Spinach is its resilience. Adapted to the Ethiopian highlands, it tolerates relatively dry conditions and poorer soils once established, although fertile soil and regular moisture will produce the most abundant tender foliage. Plants can reach approximately 1.5 m tall and produce masses of small yellow flowers that are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects.

Usually grown as an annual, Ethiopian Spinach may persist longer under favourable conditions. Its combination of vigorous growth, repeated harvests and tolerance of challenging conditions makes it an interesting addition to both productive and resilient food gardens.

Approximately 200 seeds per packet

Perennials

by Eden Seeds on Oct 22 2025

Perennials: The Lasting Gems of the Garden Perennials are the garden’s workhorses – they return year after year, bringing beauty, consistency, and value to every space. Unlike annuals, which need replanting each season, perennials establish themselves over time, enhancing soil, attracting pollinators, and offering ongoing harvests. Here’s a guide to some standout perennials that will bring life, flavour, and colour to your garden for years to come. Artichoke Artichoke adds striking texture to the garden with its impressive foliage and edible flower buds, while also offering medicinal benefits, commonly used to support liver health and aid digestion. If you don't eat the flowers while they're still tight buds, and leave them to enter their full purple majesty, they are a sight to behold. Asparagus One of the few perennial vegetables, asparagus rewards patience. It takes a couple of years to establish, but the payoff is tender, flavourful spears each spring. Asparagus loves full sun and thrives in well-draining, slightly acidic soil. It also pairs well with companion plants like tomatoes and basil, which help deter pests. Comfrey Comfrey is a versatile garden ally, loved by herbalists and permaculture enthusiasts.

Seed Mosaic Art

by Eden Seeds on Oct 22 2025

Seeds, those tiny vessels of life, are more than just the starting point for our food and flowers—they’ve also inspired breathtaking works of art. Across the globe and throughout history, seed mosaics have served as a vibrant expression of human creativity, cultural heritage, and the deep connection between people and the natural world. From ancient traditions to contemporary showcases, this unique art form celebrates the beauty and diversity of seeds in stunning ways. A History Rooted in Nature Seed mosaics (sometimes referred to as Crop Art) have ancient origins, with seeds used in decorative crafts by cultures worldwide. Indigenous communities often incorporated seeds into ceremonial designs, reflecting themes of growth, life, and fertility. Seeds were often chosen for their symbolic meanings: wheat symbolised abundance, sunflower seeds loyalty, and other seeds were selected for their ties to prosperity and life cycles. In Europe, seed mosaics became a feature of harvest festivals, where grains and seeds were arranged into intricate displays to celebrate abundance and give thanks for the land’s bounty. In the 19th century, seed mosaics gained prominence in the United States, particularly in the Midwest. Farmers and artists began crafting intricate designs with seeds, grains, and legumes, showcasing the region’s agricultural pride. Many designs incorporated geometric patterns inspired by mathematics, reflecting a sense of balance and harmony that was often considered sacred in ancient cultures. These mosaics became highlights at agricultural fairs, blending art and local heritage in a unique and captivating way. The Corn Palace: A Monument to Seed Mosaics No conversation about seed mosaics is complete without mentioning the iconic Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. This architectural wonder has celebrated seed mosaics since 1892, when the first Corn Palace was built to showcase the area's rich agricultural heritage. Each year, the palace is reimagined with new murals made entirely of corn, grains, and other natural materials, designed by talented local artists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_Palace These murals require about 325,000 ears of corn in a palette of colours like red, brown, black, yellow, and white. The designs are drawn by hand before being "painted" with corn and grains, essentially creating a giant outdoor mosaic. Themes range from historical and cultural scenes to whimsical and local pride, making the Corn Palace a living gallery that attracts visitors from around the world. Seed Mosaics at Agricultural Fairs Seed mosaics are also a beloved tradition at agricultural fairs, particularly in states like Minnesota, where crop art competitions are a highlight. Artists meticulously sort and glue thousands of seeds to boards, crafting everything from portraits of public figures to satirical commentary on current events. These mosaics celebrate the artistry of individuals and the agricultural abundance of the region. Modern Seed Mosaics and Sustainability Beyond fairs and festivals, modern seed mosaics have become a platform for environmental awareness and education. Some artists collaborate with seed banks to use rare or heirloom seeds in their work, promoting the preservation of endangered plant varieties. Seed mosaics have even found their way into branding and advertising, showcasing agricultural products in a visually striking and eco-conscious way. This art form is inherently sustainable; the seeds and grains used are biodegradable, and many traditional seed mosaics were designed to be composted or scattered after their display, symbolising the cyclical nature of life. Interactive installations, where communities come together to complete a seed mural, have also become popular, blending art, education, and engagement with agriculture. Creating Your Own Seed Mosaic If the Corn Palace or a state fair inspires you, seed mosaics are a wonderful way to connect with nature and your own innate creativity. Gather seeds like lentils, beans, or corn in various shapes and colours, and experiment with designs on a sturdy surface. Start with something simple, like a floral or geometric pattern, and embrace the meditative process of placing seeds into something uniquely your own. --- Whether you’re marvelling at the grandeur of the Corn Palace, exploring the artistry of fairs, or crafting your own seed mosaic, this timeless art form connects us to the land and reminds us of the incredible possibilities contained in even the tiniest seed. From its rich history to its modern reinvention, seed mosaics continue to celebrate the beauty of nature, the creativity of people, and the enduring ties between them.

Summer Superstars

by Eden Seeds on Oct 22 2025

Permaculture Plants That Thrive in the Heat When summer’s heat is bearing down, it’s not just our water bottles that need refilling—our gardens do too. But with the right permaculture plants, your garden can thrive in the heat while also supporting the health of your soil. These resilient powerhouses do more than survive the sun; they actively build fertility through a practice called chop-and-drop composting and, in some cases, supercharge soil with nutrient-dense compost teas. Permaculture Explained: Permaculture is a sustainable design system that mimics natural ecosystems to create self-sufficient, regenerative environments. Rooted in ethics of care for the earth, people, and fair sharing of resources, permaculture integrates plants, animals, water, and soil in a way that reduces waste, increases biodiversity, and enhances food security. It’s about working with nature, not against it—designing systems that thrive with minimal human intervention. What is Chop-and-Drop Composting? Think of it as nature’s way of mulching on autopilot. Instead of pulling plants out and tossing them on the compost heap, you simply cut them back and drop the cuttings right where they grew. The leaves, stems, and foliage decompose in place, feeding the soil with organic matter, suppressing weeds, and locking in moisture—all without you lifting a fork. It’s lazy gardening at its finest. Leaving roots in the ground after harvesting has multiple benefits. It keeps the soil structure intact, preventing erosion and compaction. As roots decompose, they feed soil microbes and fungi, creating a rich, fertile environment. Root channels also improve water infiltration, encouraging healthier, more resilient soil for future crops. It’s nature’s way of self-renewal. If you want to supercharge your garden’s soil fertility, These summer-hardy permaculture plants are the perfect place to start: 🌿 1. Tree Lucerne (Tagasaste)Tree Lucerne is a fast-growing, drought-tolerant permaculture champion with deep roots that draw up nutrients and improve soil health. Known for its nitrogen-fixing abilities, it enriches the soil for nearby plants while producing a steady supply of lush foliage for chop-and-drop mulch. More than just mulch! Tree Lucerne is a high-protein fodder crop for livestock like chickens, goats, and cattle, making it an essential player in integrated farm systems. It boosts soil fertility, provides shade and shelter for understory plants, and offers nectar to support local pollinators. Its deep root system stabilises soil and increases water infiltration, making it a valuable ally for regenerative growing systems. 🌿 2. Mulberry (Morus spp.) Yes, mulberries give you delicious jammy fruit, but they also deliver leafy green abundance. Their large leaves break down quickly as mulch, and they can be pruned regularly for chop-and-drop material. Their roots stabilise soil, making them a win-win for gardeners and wildlife alike. Did you know? Mulberry leaves are a high-protein stock feed for chickens, pigs, and even livestock. They’re a nutrient-dense supplement that can be harvested fresh and fed directly to animals, reducing your reliance on commercial feed. 🌿 3. Queensland Arrowroot (Canna edulis) Queensland Arrowroot is a tropical superstar, thriving in summer heat with rapid growth and dense, leafy foliage perfect for chop-and-drop composting. It’s a fast, reliable source of green biomass that breaks down quickly to nourish the soil. Not your average green waste! Queensland Arrowroot is a multi-functional wonder. Its starchy rhizomes are edible and can be cooked like potatoes or ground into flour. The large leaves provide nutritious fodder for pigs, chickens, and livestock, while its strong, upright growth acts as a natural windbreak, protecting more delicate crops. Beneath the surface, its roots help loosen compacted soil, improving water infiltration and supporting soil microbial life. 🌿 4. Pigeon Pea (Cajanus cajan) Pigeon pea is like having a living fertiliser factory in your garden. This legume fixes nitrogen into the soil, grows rapidly in summer, and produces an abundance of pea pods for you and the birds. Living mulch and more! Pigeon pea is an important food crop in Indian cuisine, where it’s known as 'toor dal' or 'arhar dal'. The dried peas are cooked into hearty stews, soups, and curries, providing a rich source of protein in vegetarian diets. Its edible green pods can also be eaten fresh, much like green beans. 🌿 5. Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) Comfrey is famous for its deep taproot that draws up hard-to-reach minerals. Its leaves are packed with potassium, calcium, and other trace nutrients, making it the MVP of chop-and-drop mulch. Cut it back frequently in summer to feed your soil and watch your garden thrive. Beyond the basics! Comfrey has a rich history as a herbal medicine. Its leaves and roots have been used for centuries to support wound healing, reduce inflammation, and soothe muscle strains. The plant contains allantoin, a compound believed to promote cell regeneration. While it’s not recommended for internal use due to potential toxicity, it remains a key herb in natural skin care and topical remedies. But comfrey doesn’t just do its magic on the ground—it can also be transformed into a powerhouse Comfrey Compost Tea. 🌿 6. Acacia spp. Acacias are nitrogen-fixing champions that bring a lot to the table. They’re hardy, drought-tolerant, and able to withstand intense summer heat. Their foliage can be used for chop-and-drop mulch and livestock feed, while their roots improve soil fertility below ground. 🌿 7. Purslane. Often mistaken for a common weed, Purslane is a succulent permaculture powerhouse. It thrives in the hottest, driest parts of the garden, acting as a "living mulch" that protects the soil surface from the sun while its deep taproot breaks up compaction. A nutritional superstar! Purslane is one of the richest plant sources of Omega-3 fatty acids and is packed with vitamins. Its crunchy, lemony leaves are delicious in summer salads, and because it is so resilient, it provides fresh greens when other lettuces have wilted in the heat. Mulch makers and more! Acacia species play an important role in Australian bush food culture. The seeds of certain Acacia species (commonly called wattle seeds) are edible and have been a traditional food source for Indigenous Australians for thousands of years. Today, roasted and ground wattle seeds are prized for their nutty, coffee-like flavour and are used in baking, biscuits, bread, and even ice cream. They’re nutrient-dense, high in protein, and a symbol of Australian native cuisine. 🍵 How to Make Comfrey Compost Tea If your plants need a mid-season boost, comfrey compost tea is liquid gold for the garden. Packed with potassium, nitrogen, and trace minerals, it acts like a natural fertiliser for fruiting and flowering plants. Here’s how to brew your own batch: You’ll Need A large bucket or container (with a lid if possible) Fresh comfrey leaves (a good-sized bundle) Water (just enough to cover the leaves) Instructions 1️⃣ Chop the Leaves – Harvest a bundle of fresh comfrey leaves and roughly chop them to increase surface area.2️⃣ Fill the Bucket – Place the chopped leaves in your container and cover them with water. Weigh them down with a brick or stone to keep them submerged.3️⃣ Cover and Wait – Put a lid on it and leave it to steep for 2-4 weeks. It will smell—badly—so keep it somewhere away from your house!4️⃣ Strain the Liquid – After a few weeks, strain out the leaves and keep the liquid.
