Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Muscade is a distinctive heirloom Carrot with North African origins, prized for its exceptionally sweet, richly flavoured roots and crisp texture. The name Muscade, meaning “nutmeg” in French, hints at the subtle aromatic quality traditionally associated with this unusual variety.
A mid-season Carrot, Muscade produces blocky, almost cylindrical orange roots reaching approximately 18 cm long. The crisp, sweet flesh is particularly good eaten fresh, making it an excellent choice for salads, crudités and snacking straight from the garden. It is equally useful roasted, steamed, pickled or added to cooked dishes.
Muscade is also valued for its tendency to resist bolting, helping extend the useful harvest period. Adaptable across a range of soil types, it performs particularly well in cooler conditions and produces the best-shaped roots in fertile, loose, well-drained soil.

When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Autumn to spring
Mild climates: Spring to autumn
Cold climates: Spring to early autumn, avoiding periods of heavy frost
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow, approximately 5–10 mm deep. Carrots dislike transplanting. Keep the soil surface consistently moist until germination.
Thin seedlings to approximately 3–5 cm apart once established, using young thinnings as baby carrots. Maintain even moisture as roots develop and avoid fresh manure, which can encourage forking and misshapen roots.
Harvest once roots have developed their characteristic cylindrical shape and reached approximately 18 cm long, or earlier for smaller, tender roots.

Brassica oleracea var. capitata
Bacalan de Rennes is a traditional French heirloom cabbage producing early, distinctive ox-heart-shaped green heads with delicately savoyed leaves. Listed by Vilmorin as early as 1867, this old variety was historically cultivated around Rennes and other parts of western France, where its tolerance of cool, maritime conditions made it a dependable market and home garden cabbage.
The tender leaves have an excellent flavour and can be harvested individually while the plant continues to grow, or allowed to develop into a complete pointed head. Its fine texture makes it particularly good for fresh salads and slaws as well as steaming, braising, soups and other cooked dishes.
An early and cold-tolerant variety, Bacalan de Rennes performs best through the cooler growing months in full sun with rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Keep plants consistently watered during head development for tender leaves and well-formed heads. Mature cabbage plants tolerate frost well.
Seed count: approximately 200–380 seeds/g

When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Late summer to winter
Mild climates: Late summer to winter and early spring
Cold climates: Spring to summer
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly or raise in trays, approximately 5–10 mm deep. Keep consistently moist during germination and establishment.
Transplant or thin seedlings to approximately 40–50 cm apart in full sun and rich, well-drained soil with a pH above 6.0. Harvest individual outer leaves as required or allow plants to mature and harvest the complete head.
If saving seed, remember that cabbage will cross-pollinate readily with other compatible Brassica oleracea varieties, so adequate isolation is required to maintain a variety true to type.
