8+ Person garden kit

8 Person Garden Kit $69.99 Postpaid
Google Cart Pay Pal

Our 8+ Person garden kit is like all other emergency seed kits on the market in that it has a shelf life of about 5-7 years (If others tell you their seeds will last longer than that, do your own research, for they are not being honest). It contains 28 varieties, and over 8,500 Open Pollinated and Heirloom vegetable seeds. It will plant a very large survival garden of about 25,000 sq. ft. (100 feet by 250 feet). Our 8+ Person garden kit is far larger, and more comprehensive than other “8 person” emergency garden kits, and costs about the same (when you add in their shipping costs). For example, our 8+ Person garden kit contains 1,200 bean seeds, representing 5 different varieties–twelve times more than their “8 person kit" which contains only 100 bean seeds of a single variety. Our 8 person kit also contains 2 ½ times as much corn seed as theirs.

As with all of our survival garden seed kits, this kit contains absolutely no GMOs, but only open pollinated and heirloom seeds, which means you can keep seeds from year to year–into perpetuity if necessary.

Our 8+ Person garden kit includes Scarlet Nantes Carrot and the Yellow Onion of Parma. Carrot and onion seeds are very short lived, and are viable for only 2-3 years under normal conditions. The carrot and onion seeds in this kit are first desiccated using silica gel, then placed in a 6 inch by 6 inch Mylar bag along with a small desiccant pack, then heat sealed. This should give them a life exceeding the other seeds in the kit. Note: If you buy another seed kit containing non-desiccated carrot and/or onion seeds, they will not be viable after a 2-3 years.

All the seeds in this kit are packaged in 2-mil poly, ziplock bags. Each package of seeds includes a two-sided insert with a color picture and variety description on one side, and growing instructions on the reverse side.

The seed packages are placed in a Mylar bag, along with a large desiccant pack and an oxygen absorber. The desiccant pack helps keep the moisture level low, and absorbs any ethylene gas given off by the seeds during storage. The oxygen absorber removes the oxygen from the Mylar bag, thus creating a mostly nitrogen storage environment. This is done to create an anaerobic condition in which insect larvae or microbes cannot survive, and thus harm your seeds. (Contrary to some misinformation on the web, this IS NOT harmful to seeds during storage). If at all possible, this kit should be stored in the refrigerator, as this will greatly enhance the longevity and vigor of your seeds. If refrigeration is not practical, store the seed package in the coolest, driest area of your home.

Comes complete with two inserts containing concise growing instructions, general gardening information& tips, plus winter storage instructions for your vegetables.

INCLUDED VARIETIES

	Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean (200 seeds) Introduced in 1864 as "Texas Pole," changed to its present name in 1877. Vigorous 5-7 foot vines. Great bean taste. Productive, reliable, early maturing, stringless green pods with brown beans. Enjoy canned, frozen, or fresh. Used dry, it is an excellent bean for baking. 65 days to green stage.
	Cherokee Wax Yellow Bean (200 seeds) Thought to be indigenous to Central, or South America, and handed down to colonists by the Cherokee Indians. Cultivated as early as 500 BC. Vigorous, 18-24 in. erect bush plants bear a heavy yield of stringless, black seeded, yellow, 6" pods. 48 days to snap bean stage. Can also be used as a dry bean for cooking.
	Great Northern Bean (300 seeds) Originally grown by the Mandan Indians of present-day Minnesota and North Dakota. The plants grow to 2' tall, producing 3-5" pods filled with 5-6 flavorful, thin, white beans. This bush bean grows well in the north and Midwest, is both early and drought resistant, and is a heavy yielder. Great for soups and for baking. 90 days for dry beans.
	Black Turtle Bean (300 seeds) Heirloom variety that has been grown for 7,000 years in Mexico and South America. Easy to grow, high-yielding bush bean. Use as a snap bean when young, or let dry for use in soups, stews, chili, or as refried beans. Turtle beans have a deep, rich flavor and cook quickly. 80 days for green beans; 100 days for dry beans.
	Pinto Bean (200 seeds) Pinto beans constitute 45% of all beans consumed in the United States. The dry beans are buff colored with darker speckles. The vigorous, half runner plants produce large yields of tasty, nutritious beans with a pleasant earthy flavor. Great for chili, refried and baked beans, as well as soups. Immature pods may used as a green, snap bean. 85-90 days for dry beans.
	Wapsie Valley Dent Corn (250 seeds) Heirloom dent corn introduced about 1850. Plants grow to 8-10 feet tall, and produce two-color ears that are either deep yellow or a beautiful coppery red. The large, well-formed ears are 7 ½-8 inches long and contain 14-18 rows. Wapsie Valley Dent Corn makes fabulous, high-protein flour, meal, grits, polenta, and hominy. In field trials, Wapsie Valley both out yields hybrids, and is higher in protein (averaging 11%). Outstanding plant health as well as good standability. A very dependable, short-season variety that ripens reliably in the north. 85 days.
	Butternut Winter Squash (50 seeds) C. moschata Produces 4-5 fruits per plant on 8-10 ft. vines. The dry, rich, orange flesh of the 3-6 lb., tan, 9" fruits has a distinctive sweet, nutty flavor. Some resistance to squash vine borers. Great for baking, stuffing, and soups. Exceptional winter storage variety. 105 days to maturity.
	Buttercup Winter Squash (50 seeds) C. maxima Produces 4-6 fruits per plant on 6 ft. vines. The dry, orange flesh of the 3-4 lb. fruits is sweet and stringless. Buttercup is great for baking, stuffing, and for making a delicious soup on cold, winter days. Good winter storage variety. 105 days to maturity.
	Black Zucchini Squash (50 seeds) C. pepo This large, vigorous, bush summer squash grows 2 feet tall, and spreads out about 36-40 in. The fruits are greenish-black, glossy, and smooth. The white flesh is fine textured and crisp with a mild, nutty flavor. Very prolific; two hills will feed your family all summer. Best when 4-8" long, or let grow large for stuffing. 55 days.
	Mammoth Russian Sunflower (200 seeds) Despite the name "Russian," sunflowers are native to North America and were grown by Native Peoples. Sunflowers are grown primarily, and included here, for the edible seeds they produce in quantity, and the Mammoth Russian strain is the best. Enormous, single heads (up to 20" wide) form atop gigantic plants (8-12' tall). The striped, thin-shelled seeds are plump and meaty. The stalks can be used to give pole or runner beans something to climb. Plant in full sun. 80 days.
	Scarlet Nantes Carrot (1000 seeds) Classic heirloom variety with that old-time carrot flavor. The 6-7" bright orange carrots have blunt ends and almost no core. The slightly tapered roots are sweet, crisp and tender. Great for eating fresh, juicing, and for long-term winter storage. Can be dug all winter if mulched properly. 65 days.
	Detroit Dark Red Beet (500 seeds) Introduced in 1892 by the D.M. Ferry Seed Co. Produces very good yields of dark red, globe shaped, sweet and juicy beets. Great for long-term storage. In warmer climates, beets can be left right in the ground, mulched heavily, and dug up all winter long. The tops and thinnings make excellent greens, too. 58 days.
	Laurentian Rutabaga (500 seeds) Rutabagas are also known as "Swede turnips," or yellow turnips, and are thought to be a cross between a cabbage and a turnip. The smooth, globe shaped roots have purple shoulders and fine-grained yellow flesh. Cooked, the 4-6" diameter roots have a mild flavor and firm texture. Excellent for winter storage, or can be harvested all winter if left in the ground and mulched heavily. If rutabagas are to be harvested and stored in a root cellar or basement, allow them to be exposed to at least two hard frosts first as this greatly enhances their sweetness. 90 days.
	Purple Top White Globe Turnip (500 seeds) This variety produces very fine-grained roots weighing as much as two lbs. each and as big as softballs. Turnips are good raw, mashed and make a hearty addition to soups and stews. Turnips like cool weather and do best when planted for a fall crop. Great for winter storage. Mulch heavily to overwinter in the ground. As will rutabagas, two hard frosts before harvest greatly enhances the sweetness of turnips. 50-60 days.
	Yellow Onion of Parma (500 seeds) This is a top-quality, long-day, late-maturing onion imported from Italy. The globe-shaped to oblong bulbs are a beautiful golden color and average about a pound in weight. Open pollinated, long-term storage onions are rare (most are hybrids). Stored properly this variety will keep 3-6 months. Start in flats for later transplanting. 110 days from transplant.
	Late Flat Dutch Cabbage (300 seeds) This variety was a favorite of the early Dutch settlers in the US. The huge heads are 7-8" deep and 10-14" in diameter. The firm heads grow slowly and resist cracking. The solid, flat, blue green heads weigh 10-17 lbs. and are of high quality. Great for fall and winter use, as this is an excellent storage variety. 100 days from seed.
	Calabrese Broccoli (300 seeds) Brought to the US by Italian immigrants in the 1800s, and named after the Calabria region of southern Italy where it was developed. Produces 7-8" dark green central heads, followed by numerous side shoots after the central head is harvested. Hardy until a hard frost. Very dependable. 74 days from transplant.
	Wando Pea (300 seeds) This heirloom shelling pea will still deliver a good yield during hot, dry weather when other varieties fail. However, like other garden peas, it thrives in cool, moist weather as well. The sturdy plants grow 18-30" tall, producing an abundant crop of 3½" pods containing 6-8 peas each. Great for eating fresh, freezing, or canning. 68 days.
	Long Standing Bloomsdale Spinach (500 seeds) The old standard for spinach since 1908. The "long standing" part of the name implies its resistance to "bolting," or going to seed quickly. The leaves are glossy, deep green, and savoyed. Produces heavy yields of sweet, thick, succulent leaves. Plant for both spring and fall harvest. 48 days.
	Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard (200 seeds) Introduced in 1750, and has remained one of the most popular varieties of chard. The plants are extremely vigorous and grow to a height of 22-28" tall. The delicious leaves are very broad, deeply crumpled, dark green, and have thick, white stalks. Good cooked or raw. Chard is also useful as a food source for rabbits, poultry, and goats. 60 days.
	White Cos (Romaine) Lettuce (1000 seeds) This heirloom variety of romaine dates from the 1860s. The uniform heads are tall and erect and reach a height of 8-10 in. Outer leaves are dark and grayish green, while the core remains white. Romaine is the nutritional powerhouse of the lettuce world as it packs the highest levels of vitamins and minerals of all lettuce types. Bolt resistant. 66 days.
	Rutgers Tomato (100 seeds) Indeterminate heirloom first introduced in 1934. AKA the "Jersey" tomato. So popular that it once made up 70% of all tomatoes processed in the US. Strong vines produce prolific yields of intense, bright red, 6-8 oz globular, thick walled fruits. Great for eating fresh, cooking, or canning. 74 days from transplants.
	Roma VFN Paste Tomato (100 seeds) Determinate. The old standby for paste tomatoes. Resistant to verticillium and fusarium wilt. Compact plants produce big crops of bright red, plum-shaped fruits with few seeds. little juice, and meaty interiors. The fruits average about 3 oz. and are crack resistant. Use for eating fresh, canning, paste or making sun dried tomatoes. 80 days from transplants.
	California Wonder Pepper (100 seeds) Introduced in 1928 and is still the largest, open pollinated pepper you can grow. The plants are very vigorous, upright, and grow to 2 ft. tall, or more. The fruits are large (3-4"), tender, sweet, and juicy. Blocky, four-lobed peppers begin a dark green, turning bright red when fully ripe. Very dependable variety. 74 days from transplants.
	Long Thin Red Cayenne Pepper (100 seeds) The classic, slender red chile. Heat rating: 4 (on 1-5 scale). Scoville rating: 50,000. HOT! The large, vigorous, upright plants grow 2-3' tall, and produce abundant yields of 5-6" thin pods. Pods begin green, changing to bright red when fully mature. Cayenne aids circulation and digestion. 75 days from transplants.
	Marketmore 76 Cucumber (100 seeds) Developed at Cornell University. This wonderful slicing cucumber is favored by organic gardeners because of its multiple disease resistance. The blocky, dark green fruits are 8-9" long and 2-2½" in diameter. Does well in cool climates. This variety has stood the test of time and found to be very reliable. 65 days from seed.
	Cherry Bell Radish (500) 1949 All-American Selection winner. Easy and fun to grow. Radishes are a great first vegetable for children to grow as they are the closest thing to "instant gratification" in the vegetable world as they are ready to eat in just three weeks from planting the seed. The smooth, round, bright red roots are 3/4" across with white, crisp flesh. Cherry Belle is sweet, mild, and crunchy – never pithy. Radishes grown during cool weather are milder than those grown during the heat of summer. 22 days.
	Hale's Best Jumbo Muskmelon (100 seeds) Introduced about 1924. Many old timers still judge it to be the best. The 3-4 lb. oval fruits have a yellowish-green rind, coarse heavy netting, and a light rib. The flesh is very thick (small seed cavity), sweet, salmon-pink in color, and delicious. Hale's Best Jumbo still sets the standard for muskmelon. 85 days from transplants.
