Managu, Black Nightshade (75 days) Solanum nigrum - While most gardeners in the USA would not think of growing black nightshade (Solanum nigra) which is a Eurasia weed that typically grows to 12-24” tall with purplish black fruits, this is a different species (Solanum nigrum) which grows wild throughout Eastern Africa and has been widely domesticated as a nutritious green vegetable.

Best grown as a Spring or Fall variety for its elongated, twisty blue green leaves that are eaten as you would Kale. From a Specialty Produce write up, "The name Spigarelllo is the American term for the plant, which is a corruption of the Italian name Spigariello, and the greens are also known as Cima di Rapa, Broccoli Spigarello, and Cavolo Broccolo a Getti di Napoli. Spigarello was primarily localized to Southern Italy until it was established in the United States in the late 20th century. Over time, the variety began to appear at farmer’s markets, where it has widely increased in popularity in the last decade among chefs and foodies. Spigarello is a cut-and-come-again, cool-season crop that can withstand slight frost and will deliver multiple harvests. The green is highly favored for its sweet, subtly bitter flavor, sturdy texture, and exclusivity." Heirloom.   Packet (1/2 g ≈ 180 seeds)...

Broom Corn, Red Hungarian Sorghum bicolor  (100 to 110 days)   Although commonly called "Broom Corn",  is not truly corn. However it is related to corn in being a grass and in its growth habit.  The stalks are similar to corn but they do not produce ears. Seed heads appear from the tops of the plants instead of a tassel. Grows from 8-12' depending on fertility.  Makes a great living screen and/or trellis for pole beans.  Seeds formed in a loose panicle in a pretty orange / red color and are useful as a homestead grown poultry feed, or for ornamental use in wreaths. Once stripped of the seed, the seed stalks are traditionally used to make a highly functional broom.  Simply bunch a few stalks tightly together with wire or twine. The Amish are noted as having invented the flat bottomed broom through ingeniously figuring out a way to stitch the rough stalks into a flat shape that most of the world still uses today.  Before that brooms were round in shape as you may have seen in old sketches. A rewarding crop to grow! Packet- 1.5 g (~95 seeds) Bulk: 1 oz   ...
