Mixed-species boxes, including a winter selection of 10 cold-season vegetables

The organic mixed vegetable seed set contains one variety per packet, from 10 to 25 depending on the set, to start a vegetable garden without yet knowing what will succeed. The winter assortment of 10 vegetables is sown mainly in spring and summer, for a harvest from November to March. Seedlings can be sown from February to September.

A mixed-species box suits a specific situation: you are starting a vegetable garden and do not yet know what will do well for you. The 12-vegetable box, for example, brings together Cherry Belle radish, Stuttgarter Riesen onion, Nantaise 2 carrot, Quadrato d'Asti Rosso pepper, Black Beauty aubergine, Canadian Wonder bean, a long cucumber, Roma tomato, Ramoso Calabrese broccoli, Black Beauty courgette, Hokkaido squash and Reine des Glaces lettuce. The 10-winter-vegetable box, for its part, brings together leek, parsnip, turnip, carrot, yellow beetroot, black radish, Savoy cabbage, curly kale, onion and spinach.

❄️ Harvesting in winter

The winter kits are meant to fill the vegetable patch through the cold season. Despite what their name suggests, most of these vegetables are sown in spring or early summer: leek and parsnip from March, Savoy cabbage and kale in April and May, turnip and black radish in July, winter spinach in September. They then stay in place until harvest, from November to March, when the garden produces nothing else. Some, such as parsnip or kale, even become sweeter after the first frosts, as the plant converts its starch into sugars to withstand the cold.

Each sachet retains its date and method

Sowing dates, depths, and methods vary considerably from one packet to the next: carrots are sown in situ under 1 cm of medium, leeks are transplanted after 2 months in a nursery bed, and French beans are sown in situ at 3 to 4 cm deep. Sort your packets into 4 groups by sowing window when they arrive, rather than trying to sow everything in the same weekend.

Starting the entire indoor setup in one go

The first pile of the sort, tomato, pepper, aubergine, leek and onion, is sown under cover at the end of winter, and it is the only one that calls for equipment. The 40-cell germination kits provide 120 positions under three ventilated domes, enough to give each packet in this pile its own row and follow the seedlings emerging side by side. You then free up the trays in April, when the seedlings sown in place take over.

🧺 Covering a vegetable bed with cardboard

Rather than buying 15 separate packets while hesitating over each one, you receive a coherent selection covering the main families: roots, leaves, fruits and legumes. It is a good starting point when you are taking over a plot whose soil and aspect you do not know, because a first season quickly shows you what your soil and climate will grow well. The boxes by species, such as the one for root vegetables, meet the other need, that of going deeper into a crop you already know well, and the two formats complement each other more than they replace each other.

A box of 25 varieties amounts to far more rows than a family vegetable plot can offer, and sowing an entire box in the first year mostly means nothing gets followed properly. Choose instead what you actually eat and what your growing space can support, even if that means opening only 8 packets in the first season. The remaining packets keep in a dry place, for several years in the case of most species.

📂 Sort before sowing

Sorting is done on arrival, packet by packet, by reading the sowing window printed on the back of each one. Four piles are enough, arranged in the order in which you will open them, and the last one holds whatever will wait until the following year. This arrangement stops you sowing at the same time species that share neither the same season nor the same method.

Stack 1

Late-winter indoor seedlings: tomato, pepper, aubergine, leek, onion, celery.

Stack 2

Direct spring sowings: carrot, radish, beetroot, French bean, squash, cucumber.

Stack 3

Summer sowing for autumn and winter: turnip, black radish, spinach, lamb's lettuce.

Stack 4

What can wait until the following year, stored separately in a closed box.

🌡️ Every species has its threshold

Your soil temperature governs germination far more than the calendar date does, and it varies greatly from one species to another. Spinach will still germinate in soil at 10 °C, in about 12 days, whereas a tomato needs 20 to 25 °C and a pepper germinates best at around 25 to 30 °C. A bean sown in soil below 15 °C often rots before it emerges. A wide assortment therefore calls for respecting the temperature specific to each species, rather than applying to every packet the method that worked on the first.

The packets in a single box do not age at the same rate, which gives an order in which to open them. Leek and onion keep their germination ability for about 2 years and so go first, bean 3 years, tomato 4 to 6 years, while cucumber and squash last beyond 6 years. Store everything somewhere dry, cool and out of the light, and the article on germination failures will help if emergence is slow.
