Today, I'm going to teach you a great shortcut whereby you can plant all varieties of valuable
greens and so forth, without planting them one by one. Shenandoah's going to demonstrate
how we premix the seed. In this case, we're choosing a braising mix. So she's mixing some
arugula and some other brassicas, some broccoli rabe. And this way, since all of these plants
will be tended and grown in a similar manner, we can save the intense time involved with
planting each and every one. She just mixed some cress and now she's got some simposai,
which is an Asian collard type plant. Some purple kohlrabi. By premixing the seed, she's creating a custom
blend and nobody else in the world is growing quite this particular blend of unique seeds.
And since they're all going to be tended and in a similar manner, why not grow the all
together? [Shenandoah] Are these already mixed? (Daniel] What have we there? Oh, it looks
like we have several things mixed. We have in there some cress and some tender leaf,
thick stemmed hearty mustard. I didn't even think I liked mustard. [Shenandoah] All these
round seeds, are they all brassicas? [Daniel] The round seeds are brassicas. Extremely cold-hardy.
The truth of the matter is, when we grow this blend, there's a, there you can see a similar
blend in development . It doesn't remember if I remember their names because here they
are in all of their glory, waiting to please us. Here I see some purple kohlrabi and some
sporting broccolis and broccoli rabe perhaps, possibly a few arugulas. Like I said though,
we really don't have to remember their names for them to be delicious.
