Witches Gotta Eat Too - Seeds for Magick Herbs and Pagan Gardens

Witches Gotta Eat Too Seed Collection
All right, folks, things are getting bad out there, not just in the economy, but in the food stream. Stuff is contaminated with Genetically Modified Organisms (Frankenfoods) or with just plain crap (E. coli, salmonella, the stuff they make dishes out of). You know how to cross over the Abyss without getting scuffed, you've clambered around in the Tunnels of Set, and you've had brunch with Hekate--twice. But can you grow a bean? Are you reduced to buying your Samhain punkins at Wally World (oh the shame)? Have you got mandrakes screaming your house down but you're stuck eating the cardboard Frankentomatoes from the supermarket? Here is your chance to grow a witch's food garden. Your kids, if you have 'em, can help you plant and grow them. I've been wanting to add veggies to my seed selection for a long time. I chose these for their ease of growing, good taste, history, and nice colors. They are all open pollinated too. Each comes with individual growing information plus a growing sheet.

Blue Coco Pole Bean: A beautiful indigo/purple heirloom bean from American Colonial times. Can be eaten as a snap bean or grown on to dry as soup bean. I grew these last year. Holy cats, were they good--and they made a lot of beans in the cool, anti-bean summer we had. They turn green when cooked. Organic seeds.

Les Oreilles du Diable Lettuce: Devil's Ears lettuce. I mean, how can you resist? Another heirloom, this one from 19th-century France. It's a loose, small romaine lettuce with thick green/bronze/burgundy leaves shaped sort of like donkey ears. Nutty taste. Biodynamic seeds.

Czech Black Pepper: One of the most beautiful peppers I have ever seen. Small (~2-3"), pointed peppers start out dark green, become greenish black, then indigo, and finally a deep garnet. Hot but not too hot, less heat than a jalapeno. Organic seeds.

Black Cherry Tomato: Consistently the best cherry tomato I have eaten and the best I have grown. The tomatoes are a sort of iridescent brown when they are fully ripe. Black tomatoes are known for their great taste and originated in Russia. Organic seeds.

Benning's Green Tint Patty Pan Squash: An improvement over the basic white pattypan, one of the types of summer squash that the native peoples grew before the Europeans came, but still the same wonderful Cthulhu shape. This variety is creamy white with a pale green tinge and was introduced into US gardens in 1914. Best when they are babies.

Jack Be Little Pumpkin: Most of us don't have room for a full-bore pumpkin vine, unfortunately, but this guy can be grown even in a large pot next to a fence because the vines get only 3-5ft long. These little l/2 lb pumpkins are great for display but also good for eating stuffed with mushrooms, walnuts, and sage and roasted; the skin is edible if you boil the pumpkin five minutes before baking. This is a relatively new seed introduction (1987), but they have that nice old-fashioned "cheese" shape with deep ribbing and pencil yellow color.
