Fragaria virginiana, commonly known as the Virginia or Wild Strawberry, is a native North American species that played a key role in the history of cultivated strawberries, having been crossed with the Chilean strawberry (F. chiloensis) in the 18th century to produce the modern garden strawberry. These plants spread by runners and form low mats, producing small, deep red berries that are celebrated for their intense sweetness and concentrated, classic strawberry aroma. While smaller than commercial varieties, the fruit packs a rich, complex flavor that many describe as more “wild” and satisfying. Adaptable and resilient, F. virginiana thrives in fields, forest edges, and meadows, with attractive trifoliate leaves, delicate white flowers, and a long tradition of use by both wildlife and people.
Fragaria vesca var. semperflorens ‘Golden Alexandria’ is a striking Alpine strawberry selection descended from long-cultivated European woodland forms, known for its unique chartreuse-to-golden foliage that adds ornamental flair to gardens. Unlike traditional runnering strawberries, it forms compact clumps that continuously fruit from late spring into fall, producing numerous small, bright red berries. The flavor is intensely sweet and aromatic, carrying the rich wild-strawberry taste that Alpine types are famous for, making them popular with gourmet growers. Its colorful leaves provide season-long visual interest, while the fragrant berries offer a delicious contrast, making ‘Golden Alexandria’ both decorative and highly flavorful.
Malbec Red carrot seeds produce a striking, modern carrot variety bred for its deep wine-red color and exceptional nutritional value, with roots rich in anthocyanins and a sweet, earthy flavor. Malbec Red draws inspiration from traditional purple carrots while offering improved uniformity, smoother skin, and reliable performance in home gardens. The tapered roots typically reach 8–10 inches long with vibrant red flesh that holds much of its color when cooked. For best results, sow seeds directly in loose, stone-free soil in early spring or late summer, as carrots transplant poorly. Grow Malbec Red carrots in full sun, keep soil consistently moist during germination, thin seedlings early for straight roots, and harvest when roots reach full size for the best flavor and color.
Aster oblongifolius, now widely known as Symphyotrichum oblongifolium and commonly called Aromatic Aster, is a hardy native perennial historically found across the central and eastern United States in prairies, rocky slopes, and open woodlands. It is prized for its dense, bushy habit and its late-season display of abundant lavender-purple flowers with bright yellow centers, which provide vital nectar to pollinators when few other plants are in bloom. The foliage releases a pleasant, resinous fragrance when brushed, and the plant’s naturally compact form makes it ideal for borders and native plantings. To grow Aromatic Aster successfully, plant seeds or transplants in full sun and well-drained soil; once established, it is drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and reliably forms a vibrant, mound-shaped display each autumn.
Tatsoi is a flavorful and versatile Asian green that thrives in cooler weather, making it a popular choice for spring and fall plantings.

Tatsoi seeds produce compact, rosette-shaped plants that grow quickly and are easy to harvest, often within 30 to 40 days. This hardy green is also appreciated for its high nutritional value, offering a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium and iron. Its adaptability and fast-growing nature make Tatsoi a favorite among both commercial growers and home gardeners looking to add a nutrient-dense and visually appealing crop to their gardens.
