Collards, Cascade Glaze (60 days) Brassica oleracea   An old heirloom from 1820 called Green Glaze that was revitalized through the breeding work of Alan Kapuler, Carol Deppe and Jeff McCormack. Cascade Glaze is unique in that its leaves have a shiny light green glaze to them as opposed to the typical blue-green of most brassicas. They are winter hardy down to 0 degrees and can also withstand heat better than most kales. It’s possible that the waxy characteristic of the leaves gives them some added insect resistance. Sweet and tender flavor through the seasons and especially in fall and winter. SSF OSSI (Open Source Seed Initiative) Pledged Variety. Packet (1/2 g. ≈ 125 seeds) ...

Corn, Blue Star (breeder's selection), Flour (75-110 days) Zea mays This is a collection of all of the most unique ears in a very diverse gene pool that was rogued from the Hopi Blue flour corn.  This will still yield good flour corn, but it is a more diverse assortment of light blue to purple with non-linear rows of kernels in spirals, star and other interesting patterns.  It also has a good amount of dented kernels and strange forked ears.  A novelty for the curious gardener!  Can be eaten as sweet corn when picked young and roasted, but is best known for making an excellent, sweet blue corn flour that has 30% higher protein levels than dent corns. Plants are 5 ft. tall and bushy with many tillering side shoots.  Ears are a beautiful smooth silvery blue that are 8-10” long with usually 2, but up to 7 per stalk. There is still much variability in this strain with respect to kernel color and degree of kernel denting.  Expect ears to mature into shades of light gray/slate blue, to dark blue and purple.  Robust, drought-tolerant cultivar selected over many generations.

Corn, Glass Gem, Flint (100 days) Zea mays This is a flint corn used for making flour or as a popping corn. Unlike sweet corn, it is not edible right off the cob.  It was likely bred as an ornamental variety - for obvious reasons. Many of these exquisite ears are simply too beautiful to eat.  Like many heirloom treasures, Glass Gem corn has a name, a place, and a story. Its origin traces back to Carl Barnes, a part-Cherokee farmer living in Oklahoma.  Carl Barnes’ (pictured in his corn field) kaleidoscopic corn has become a beacon - and perhaps an inspiring symbol - for the global seed-saving revival.  Barnes had an uncanny knack for corn breeding. More specifically, he excelled at selecting and saving seed from those cobs that exhibited vivid, translucent colors. Like other flint corn it is excellent for polenta and hominy. HEIRLOOM.

Maiz Concho Flint (110-120 days) Zea mays We are grateful to share this beautiful heirloom from a nice crop grown by Dan Hobbs at Pueblo Seed in Colorado. Corn is strongly adapted to latitude, so when we grew this SW corn in Oregon it grew very tall (10-12’) and produced ears late. So, unless you are closer to 35 degrees Latitude, then allow for a very long season for this strain to mature. Maize de Concho is included in the Slow Food Ark of Taste collection because it has been used for preparing Chicos, a method of cooking involving harvest- ing at the green (milk) stage and prepared via an ancient technique through roasting in an earthen oven called an “Horno”. Chicos are still made by residents of the Upper Rio Grande and San Luis Valley where there is a revival of this endangered regional food in Acequia communities. This is an ancient flint type of corn that can periodically revert back to ancestral phenotypes indicative of its wild parentage from Teosinte. Ears are 9-14” long with pale, shell-white kernels. Can also be used for pozole, hominy, grits and polenta. Packet: One Ounce (≈ 110 seeds)  Quarter pound Half Pound ...

Corn, Siskiyou Pink, Flour (85-95 days) Zea mays This variety is part of our ongoing effort to adapt and stabilize new landraces that are useful staple crops to the Pacific Northwest region. The first parent of this lovely flour corn is Hopi Purple which we originally obtained from the old Seeds of Change collection from El Guique, NM.  We crossed this with Magenta Parching corn which was originally bred by ​​breeders Carol Deppe and Alan Kapuler who developed this OP variety from 7 sweet corn strains and 7 Hopi strains obtained from seedsman John Kimmey.

The result is a robust plant with drought and short season adaptation that produces 2 ears of beautiful pastel pink flour corn with good milling qualities.

Porcelain, Hardneck type Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth This is a wonderful variety produces bulbs that will have only 4-6 cloves, saving time in the kitchen.  Flavor is rich and bold with just the right amount of spiciness. Stores fairly well for a hardneck, lasting about 9 months - or until March or April in simple cool storage.  Another bonus of this variety is that it produces scapes, which are false flower stalks that can be used as a sort of green garlic (think bunching onions) in April and May.  It is best to break these scapes off as it helps make for larger bulbs instead of the plant putting its energy into making these false flowers that produce small bubils. Although this variety is a bit more difficult to grow than softneck varieties in so far as it is more sensitive to weed pressure and water inconsistency, it is such a joy to use in the kitchen that it's worth the extra effort.  It is remarkably productive and very rewarding to grow.  It is capable of growing to 3.5" in diameter with 5-8 large cloves per bulb. Music is probably the most productive harneck garlic capable of producing 13,000 pounds per acre!  Among the best for roasting! Flavor: Pleasant strong & sweet flavor with some heat that intensifies after some storage. Storage: Will easily keep until March or April  in a cool dark garage or shed.

The Asiatic type is an Artichoke-sub variety ready to harvest right after the artichoke varieties and longer storing (6 - 8 months) than its purple striped relatives. Named after the capital of North Korea and said to originate from a village just to the North.  SORRY BUT NO INTERNATIONAL ORDERS ON GARLIC * Free Shipping does not apply to Garlic Orders * Check out our Garlic Growing tips in order to make the most of your growing opportunity: https://www.siskiyouseeds.com/blogs/news/garlic-planting-tips...
