August's Seed Bank Subscription Box came with 8 unique seeds spanning from hot, to sweet and even a drought tolerant flower! I love the variety they include every month! I took the liberty to copy the descriptions from their information cards word for word this month.
Big Jim Pepper - "The Big Jim Pepper was developed by New Mexico State University and has since become a favorite in green chilis and rellenos. The medium-hot fruits change from green to red and grow up to 12 inches long. These peppers are sure to impress your friends and your taste buds!"
Cream of the Crop Squash - "This creamy little acorn squash is a compact, bushy grower that belongs in every garden! Each plant can produce 10-20 of these delicious, nutty squashes. Whether you choose to pick them young and saute them like a summer squash, or wait for them to mature so they can be stored as a winter squash, you'll be happy to have made room in your garden for this vegetable!"
Siam Queen Basil - "The Siam Queen basil is a highly ornamental herb, with large, bright green leaves and clusters of tiny purple flowers. This Thai variety of basil holds up well in heat, making it an excellent choice for the summer garden. Enjoy this clove-flavored basil in curries and Thai dishes!"
Evening Primrose - "These pretty North American wildflowers come in a variety of colors, ranging from white and yellow to pink and red! The short, 6-12 inch tall mounding shrubs bloom prolifically all summer, practically hiding their own foliage. These wildflowers are drought tolerant and have extensive medical uses in homeopathy medicine."
Sakata's Sweet Melon - "If you have never tried an Asian melon before, you are in for a treat! The Sakata's sweet melon originated from Japan and only grows to about 3-4 inches in diameter. The real surprise here, though, is that the entire crunchy fruit is edible, even it's rind! Let your garden host this interesting melon this summer and enjoy the single-serving fruits, rind and all."
Long Purple Eggplant - "This delicious Italian eggplant grows up to a foot in length and has a glossy, deep purple skin. Long Purple eggplants are copious producers, yielding up to eight fruits per plant! For the best flavor, pick these eggplants when they are about six inches long and try them in an Italian dish like lasagna or caponata!
Emerald Okra - "Okra is a favorite vegetable in many different types of cuisine. This high-quality heirloom variety of okra produces tender 8-inch long fruits that, fortunately for the gardener, are spineless! The blooms of this heavy producer look like hibiscus flowers, making Emerald okra not only edible, but attractive as well!"
Sugar Pie Pumpkin - "These little 6-8 pound pumpkins are not only a superb variety for making into pies, but they also make cute jack-o-lanterns! The Sugar Pie pumpkin only grows to about 6-7 inches in diameter, making them easy to grow in your garden. We are already looking forward to one of our favorite fall treats; roasted pumpkin seeds!"
