    W. Legutko Purple Teepee Green Bean - Phaseolus vulgaris

    Beans that change color during cooking. Purple Teepee is a gardening phenomenon: on the bush grows beans with intensely purple pods (a visual effect that is a hit), but after putting them into boiling water – within 30 seconds – the pods change color to classic green. Magic, but also a practical benefit: the purple color makes harvesting easier (they are easier to spot among green leaves).In brief Type: dwarf green bean, early Pods: purple (raw) → green (after cooking) Pod characteristics: long, stringless, slightly curved Habit: dwarf (without poles) Sowing outdoors: early May – mid July Position: sunny, warm Number of plants per pack: ~160 Number of seeds per package: 40 g (30 g + 10 g free) What distinguishes this varietyEarly, abundantly yielding dwarf variety. The purple color of the pods comes from anthocyanins (the same as those in berries and dark grapes) – after high temperature (cooking) anthocyanins break down and the natural green of chlorophyll returns. Pods are long, stringless, slightly curved, very tasty.Cultivation step by stepSowing (early May – mid July, outdoors): sow seeds directly into the ground with spacing of 35–40 × 7–10 cm, at a depth of 2–3 cm. After the cold gardeners – beans do not tolerate frost.Position: sunny, warm, fertile and well-drained soil, preferably in the second year after manure.Care: regular watering (especially during germination, flowering, and pod setting). Loosen soil, weed. No nitrogen fertilization.Harvest (July – September): purple pods are easy to spot among green leaves – a huge advantage of this variety. Harvest regularly every 2–3 days when pods are long but seeds inside are not yet developed.UsageClassically like any green bean: for cooking (surprise guests – put in purple, take out green!), for preserving (keeps purple color in marinade!) and freezing. Great raw for salads (then it keeps the purple color – visually fascinating plate). Perfect for children’s parties – “magic bean”.Gardener’s tipRaw it is purple – after cooking green. If you want to keep the purple color: cook al dente, max. 3 minutes and rinse with cold water (cooling stops anthocyanin breakdown). Or don’t cook at all – eat raw (young pods are tasty). Purple beans in a salad are an attraction guests will remember for a long time.Specification Latin name Phaseolus vulgaris var. nanus Variety Purple Teepee Type dwarf green bean, early Pod color purple → green (after cooking) Pod characteristics long, fiberless, slightly curved Habit dwarf Position sunny, warm Seasonality annual plant Sowing time early May – mid July (outdoors) Harvest time July – September Spacing 35–40 × 7–10 cm Number of plants per pack ~160 Net weight 40 g (30 g + 10 g free) Manufacturer W.

  • Muscade de Provence Butternut Squash - Cucurbita moschata Muscade de Provence Butternut Squash - Cucurbita moschata

    W. Legutko Muscade de Provence Butternut Squash - Cucurbita moschata

    French elegance in the Polish vegetable garden. Muscade de Provence is a pumpkin from Provence – valued for its unique shape (strongly flattened, deeply ribbed, looks like a giant decorative pattypan) and outstanding taste: aromatic, slightly musky flesh is premium quality even among musky pumpkins. One of the best flavors in the vegetable garden.In brief Type: musky pumpkin, late Fruits: flattened, deeply ribbed Fruit weight: 5–10 kg Color: gray-green → orange (when ripe) Flesh: firm, fiberless, aromatic Sowing under cover: second half of April Planting: second half of May Number of seeds per package: 3 g (~24 seeds) What makes this variety specialMuscade is a double surprise: visual (deep ribs and flattened shape make the fruit look like a giant decorative brooch) and taste (an intense musky aroma unlike any Polish variety). As a musky pumpkin, it requires warmth – in Polish conditions, grow only from seedlings. Fruits grow up to 10 kg and store well.Cultivation step by stepSowing (second half of April, under cover): sow seeds into 8–10 cm pots at a temperature of 22–25°C. Germination takes up to 2 weeks. Requires warmth – Polish conditions are too cold for direct sowing.Planting (second half of May): after the frost has passed, spaced 1 × 1 m apart. A very sunny, sheltered location with fertile, moist, warm soil.Care: regular watering at the root. Fertilize with compost and potassium during fruiting. Mulching retains the heat the pumpkin needs.Harvest (before the first frosts): pick fruits when the skin changes color from gray-green to orange. After harvest, dry in the sun for 1–2 weeks, then store in a dry, cool place (10–15°C) – they last until spring.UsageThe best pumpkin for processing: thick skin and firm flesh hold their structure after cooking. Great for cream soups, baking in the oven, French-style sauces (à la Provence – with garlic, thyme, olive oil), and pumpkin jams. The interior has an intense musky aroma that makes even a simple cream soup taste like it’s from a fine restaurant.Gardener's tipMuscade has a long growing period (125 days) – in cool Polish summers it may not ripen in time. To ensure ripening, sow early (second half of April, no later), use purchased / homegrown seedlings, plant under a tunnel or black agro-fleece (retains heat). Usually successful in southern Poland, in the north – requires extra care.Specification Latin name Cucurbita moschata Variety Muscade de Provence Origin French variety Type butternut squash, late Shape flattened, strongly ribbed Color gray-green → orange Flesh firm, fiberless, aromatic Fruit weight 5–10 kg Position sunny, sheltered Seasonality annual plant Sowing time second half of April (under covers) Planting time second half of May Spacing 1 × 1 m Net weight 3 g Manufacturer W.

  • Warsaw Spaghetti Squash - Cucurbita pepo Warsaw Spaghetti Squash - Cucurbita pepo

    W. Legutko Warsaw Spaghetti Squash - Cucurbita pepo

    A squash that turns into pasta. The Warsaw spaghetti squash (also known as spaghetti squash) is a plant phenomenon: after a short cooking, its flesh breaks into thin, long fibers that look and feel like spaghetti. An ideal alternative for those on low-carb, gluten-free diets or seeking creative vegetarian options.In brief Type: spaghetti squash, bushy Fruits: oval, slightly elongated, 6–8 per plant Color: initially green → yellow Flesh: breaks into fibrous “spaghetti” Sowing outdoors: first half of May Harvest: October (after fruits turn yellow) Location: sunny, fertile Number of seeds per package: 2 g (~14 seeds) What distinguishes this varietyPolish variety created for the national climate – bushy habit (less space in the vegetable garden) and high yield (6–8 fruits per plant). Best feature: the flesh breaks apart into spaghetti-like fibers after a short cooking. It’s not about grating – it’s the nature of this variety. Bonus: gluten-free, low calorie, high in fiber.Cultivation step by stepSowing (first half of May, outdoors): sow seeds directly into the ground with spacing of 1 × 1 m, 2–3 seeds in one spot, at a depth of 2–3 cm.Selection of the strongest plant: after germination, we leave one seedling in one place – the strongest one.Care: sunny location, fertile and moist soil, preferably after manure. Regular watering at the root. Mulching reduces weeds.Harvest (October): harvest fruits only when they are completely yellow – then the pasta effect is best. Unripe fruits give a "mash" instead of "spaghetti."UsageClassic: like spaghetti – cut the squash in half, remove seeds, place in the oven at 200°C for 30–40 min (or boil for 25 min). After removing, use a fork to pull apart the flesh – it will naturally form long strands. Serve with tomato sauce, pesto, or garlic olive oil. Ideal for diabetics (significantly lower GI than wheat pasta), gluten-free diets, and keto.Gardener's tipThe longer the squash is stored in the pantry before cooking, the better the "spaghetti" effect. Freshly picked from the bed, the flesh is still too soft – it becomes mushy. After 4–6 weeks of storage, the fibers are long, elastic, and perfect. Harvest October fruits, cook only in November / December.Specification Latin name Cucurbita pepo Variety Warsaw Spaghetti Type bush spaghetti squash Fruits oval, slightly elongated Number of fruits per plant 6–8 Skin color green → yellow (when ripe) Flesh fibrous, breaks into spaghetti-like strands Position sunny, fertile Seasonality annual plant Sowing time first half of May (for planting) Harvest time October Spacing 1 × 1 m Net weight 2 g Manufacturer W.

After the season, you’ll know which variety to buy in a full pack for the next year.Cultivation step by stepSowing (late April, into pots): sow seeds into 8–10 cm pots at 20–25°C. You can also sow directly into the ground in May.Planting out (second half of May): plant seedlings with 1 × 1 m spacing. Sunny location, fertile soil, preferably after manure.Care: water regularly at the base (never on the leaves). Fertilize with compost or vegetable fruit fertilizer.

Due to different varieties, colors may be a surprise.UsesA classic mix: for grilling in slices (a colorful plate is an attraction), for ratatouille (best version with multicolored zucchinis), for vegetable spreads, stuffing, freezing. You can also pickle them in jars like cucumbers. Young fruits are suitable raw for salads (thinly sliced with a radish slicer).Gardener’s tipNote which variety yields best for you – the same garden treats different zucchinis differently. In one vegetable garden, Black Beauty may be the bestseller, in another – Astra Polka. After the season, you’ll know which to order in a full pack for the next year. Tip: mark plants with small name tags when planting out.Specification Latin name Cucurbita pepo Type mix of 5 zucchini varieties Composition Atena Polka 20%, Astra Polka 20%, Striato D'Italia 20%, Black Beauty 20%, Nimba 20% Growth habit bushy Fruits club-shaped, multicolored Edible length 15–20 cm Location sunny, fertile Seasonality annual plant Sowing time late April – May Harvest time July – September Spacing 1 × 1 m Net weight 2 g Producer W.

  • Pattypan Squash Disco - Cucurbita pepo Pattypan Squash Disco - Cucurbita pepo

    W. Legutko Pattypan Squash Disco - Cucurbita pepo

    Pattypan squash shaped like a bundt cake – like a miniature temple. Disco is an early, productive pattypan variety with characteristic cream-white fruits shaped like a bundt cake (or flying disc, hence the name). The flat center surrounded by a ruffled "ruff" is the hallmark of this variety. Disco pattypans are a vegetable garden classic – easy cultivation, striking appearance, tasty fruits.In brief Type: pattypan squash, early, productive Fruits: in the shape of a bundt cake / disc Color: cream white Growth habit: bushy Resistance: downy mildew Sowing: late April (pots) or May (ground) Location: sunny, fertile Number of seeds per package: 3 g (2 g + 1 g free) What distinguishes this varietyPattypan squashes are to cucurbits what cherry tomatoes are to tomatoes – small, decorative, productive. Disco produces whole clusters of small UFO saucer-shaped fruits. The bushy habit means they take up much less space than classic sprawling pumpkins. Resistance to downy mildew makes cultivation easier in wet years.Step-by-step cultivationSowing (late April, into pots): sow seeds into 8–10 cm pots. You can also sow directly into the ground in May, after the risk of frost has passed.Planting out (second half of May): plant seedlings at 1 × 1 m spacing, 2–3 seeds per spot. After emergence, keep the strongest plant.Care: sunny location, fertile and moist soil. Regular watering at the root. Mulching helps retain moisture and limits weeds.Harvest (July – September): harvest young fruits at 8–10 cm diameter. Larger ones become spongy and lose flavor. The more often you harvest, the more the plant sets.UsageSpecific pattypan: whole for pickling and preserving – small fruits are placed in jars like cucumbers. Great as a salad addition (cut into sticks), for stewing and frying (can be stuffed like small bowls). They look fantastic on the plate – spotted white saucers are an attraction of any dish.Gardener's tipPattypan squashes must be harvested every 2–3 days. If you leave them to grow for more than a week, the fruits become large, spongy, tasteless, and the plant stops setting new ones (because it "already has"). Rule: harvest before they reach the size of a saucer. Those up to 8 cm in diameter are perfect for pickling whole.Specification Latin name Cucurbita pepo Variety Disco Type pattypan squash, early, productive Growth habit bushy Fruit shape in the shape of a bundt cake / disc Color cream white Resistance downy mildew Location sunny, fertile Seasonality annual plant Sowing time late April – May Harvest time July – September Spacing 1 × 1 m Net weight 3 g (2 g + 1 g free) Manufacturer W.

    Pomarańczowa cukinia – kolor, którego się nie spodziewasz. Atena Polka F1 to wyjątkowa cukinia o intensywnie pomarańczowych, maczugowatych owocach – odmiana mieszańcowa F1, która wnosi do warzywnika kolor i charakter. Krzaczasty pokrój i odporność na mączniaka rzekomego sprawiają, że uprawa jest prosta nawet dla początkujących.W skrócie Typ: cukinia, wczesna, mieszańcowa F1 Pokrój: krzaczasty Owoce: maczugowate, pomarańczowe Długość konsumpcyjna: 18–20 cm Odporność: mączniak rzekomy Siew: kwiecień (doniczki) lub maj (grunt) Stanowisko: słoneczne, żyzne Liczba nasion w opakowaniu: 3 g (~15 nasion) Czym wyróżnia się ta odmianaAtena Polka F1 to mieszaniec F1 – co oznacza wybitną plenność i wyrównane plony. Pomarańczowa barwa skórki jest zaletą zarówno wizualną (wyróżnia się na talerzu i w warzywniku), jak i zdrowotną (więcej karotenoidów niż w klasycznej zielonej cukinii). Owoce nie kumulują metali ciężkich, więc nadają się do uprawy nawet w mniej idealnych warunkach.Uprawa krok po krokuSiew (kwiecień, do doniczek): nasiona wysiewamy do doniczek 8–10 cm. Hartowanie 1–2 tygodnie przed wysadzeniem. Można też siać bezpośrednio do gruntu w maju.Wysadzanie (druga połowa maja): rozsadę sadzimy w rozstawie 1 × 1 m, po 2–3 nasiona w jednym miejscu. Po wschodach zostawiamy jedną roślinę.Pielęgnacja: gleba żyzna i słoneczne stanowisko. Regularne podlewanie pod korzeń, nigdy na liście. Nawożenie kompostem lub nawozem do warzyw owocowych.Zbiór (lipiec – wrzesień): owoce zbieraj regularnie przy długości 18–20 cm. Im częściej zbierasz, tym więcej roślina zawiązuje. Jednolita pomarańczowa barwa to znak gotowości.ZastosowanieWszechstronna: na grilla (pomarańczowy kolor cudownie wygląda po grillowaniu), do faszerowania (mięsem, ryżem, kuskusem), do past warzywnych i ratatouille. Pomarańczowy kolor robi furorę w jesiennych daniach – zwłaszcza zapiekanych. Można mrozić w plastrach i marynować.Tip od ogrodnikaPomarańczowy odcień Ateny pochodzi z naturalnych karotenoidów – tych samych, które są w marchewce. Nie pluskaj cukinii w wodzie po pokrojeniu – moczenie wypłukuje karotenoidy razem z kolorem (zauważysz pomarańczowe zabarwienie wody). Wystarczy szybko opłukać i osuszyć ręcznikiem przed obróbką.Specyfikacja Nazwa łacińska Cucurbita pepo Odmiana Atena Polka F1 Typ cukinia, wczesna, F1 Pokrój krzaczasty Kolor owoców pomarańczowy Długość konsumpcyjna 18–20 cm Odporność mączniak rzekomy Stanowisko słoneczne, żyzne Sezonowość roślina jednoroczna Termin siewu kwiecień – maj Rozstawa 1 × 1 m Masa netto 3 g (~15 nasion) Producent W.

The light creamy, juicy flesh is delicate and full of nutrients.In brief Type: squash, mid-early, productive Growth habit: initially bushy, then trailing shoots up to 1.5 m Fruits: cylindrical, 2–4 kg Color: light celadon green → yellow (when ripe) Flesh: creamy-golden, rich in carotene and vitamin C Sowing: end of April (pots) or May (ground) Location: sunny, fertile soil Number of seeds per package: 2 g (~16 seeds) What makes this variety specialGolden Cepelin is a great compromise between zucchini (light, young form) and pumpkin (mature, larger, sweeter). You can harvest it young – then use it like zucchini for grilling and frying. Or leave it to fully mature – then you get large, 2–4 kg cylindrical fruits with creamy-golden, sweet flesh. Two vegetables from one plant.Cultivation step by stepSowing (end of April, for pots): sow seeds into 8–10 cm pots. You can also sow directly into the ground in May, after the risk of frost has passed.Planting out (second half of May): plant seedlings at 1.5 × 1.5 m spacing, 2–3 seeds per spot. After emergence, keep the strongest plant.Care: sunny position, fertile soil, preferably after manure. Regular watering, especially during fruit setting. Mulching helps retain moisture.Harvest (July – September): pick young fruits (up to 25 cm) like zucchini – every few days. Mature fruits (with fully yellow skin) before the first frosts.UsageVersatile: young like zucchini – for grilling, frying, stuffing. Mature like pumpkin – for cream soups, cakes, baking. Great in vegetarian and diet cooking (low calories, high nutritional value). Can also be frozen grated for pancakes.Gardener's tipLeave a maximum of 2–3 fruits to mature on one plant, harvest the rest while young. A mature Cepelin weighs about 3 kg – if you leave all the fruit sets, you will get 6 small ones instead of 3 large ones. Rule: cut early or leave selected fruits to mature – never both at the same time on the same plant.Specification Latin name Cucurbita pepo Variety Golden Cepelin Type courgette, mid-early Habit bushy → trailing up to 1.5 m Skin color light celadon → yellow Flesh color creamy-golden Fruit weight 2–4 kg Position sunny, fertile soil Seasonality annual plant Sowing time late April – May Harvest time July – September Spacing 1,5 × 1,5 m Net weight 2 g (~16 seeds) Manufacturer W.

  • Large-fruited wild strawberry Regina - Fragaria vesca Large-fruited wild strawberry Regina - Fragaria vesca

    W. Legutko Large-fruited wild strawberry Regina - Fragaria vesca

    Wild strawberry, but twice as big. Regina is a large-fruited wild strawberry variety that produces fruits twice as large as typical wild strawberries – up to 6 g each. The taste and aroma of classic woodland wild strawberry, but in a size that makes sense for home harvesting. Bonus: it does not produce runners, so it does not spread across the bed.In brief Type: large-fruited wild strawberry, runnerless Height: approx. 20 cm Fruits: red, up to 6 g (2× more than typical wild strawberry) Sowing under cover: March – April Fruiting: June – September (already in the year of sowing!) Position: sunny or partial shade Difficulty: medium – long time from sowing to harvest Net weight: 0.1 g What distinguishes this varietyRegina stands out with three features: it does not produce runners (grows in compact clumps, does not spread), fruit size (2× larger than other wild strawberry varieties), and the fact that it fruits in the year of sowing – if you sow in March, you harvest the first fruits in July. Subsequent years: consistent fruiting from June to October.Cultivation step by stepSowing (March – April, under cover): wild strawberry seeds are very small – sow them on the surface (barely covered) to a maximum depth of 0.5 cm. Temperature 16–20°C, high humidity. Germination after 14–20 days.Pricking out: seedlings at the 4–6 leaf stage are transplanted into separate pots or into the bed. Patience – seedlings grow slowly, the first weeks look like nothing is happening.Planting (spring – autumn): into the ground or pots (min. 3 l) spaced 40–50 cm apart. Sunny or partially shaded position, light, acidic soil (pH 5.5–6), humus-rich.Care: regular watering, mulching with peat or bark (retains moisture and acidity). Fertilize every 2–3 weeks with strawberry fertilizer. Perennial plants – sow once only.UsageClassically: for dessert – fresh wild strawberries with whipped cream and a bit of sugar. Great for jams (stronger aroma than garden strawberries), for smoothies, for cake decoration. Leaves (young, fresh) are perfect for herbal tea – they have a slightly fruity taste and support digestion. A pot with wild strawberries on the balcony is also a good idea for aesthetic reasons.Gardener's tipRegina is non-runner, so it cannot be propagated by runner cuttings like typical strawberries. After 3–4 years, plants lose vigor – it is then worth collecting seeds from ripe fruits (dried and stored in the fridge for 1–2 months they germinate well). Or simply sow a new pack – 0.1 g is enough material for years.Specification Latin name Fragaria vesca Variety Regina Type Large-fruited wild strawberry, non-runners Height approx. 20 cm Fruit color Red Fruit weight up to 6 g Position Sunny or partial shade Seasonality Perennial plant Sowing period March – April (under cover) Fruiting period June – September Spacing 40–50 cm Net weight 0.1 g Series Traditional Manufacturer W.

    W. Legutko Giant Pumpkin Ambar - Cucurbita maxima

    Dark green pumpkin, golden flesh. Ambar is an unusual pumpkin – dark green on the outside, intensely golden-orange inside. The semi-bush habit means it doesn’t spread as widely as typical pumpkins, and the 2–4 kg fruits are easier to process at home than 8-kilogram giants.In brief Type: giant pumpkin, semi-bush Skin: dark green Flesh: firm, golden-orange Fruit weight: 2–4 kg Beta-carotene: 10–12 mg / 100 g Outdoor sowing: May Position: sunny Number of seeds per package: 3 g (~18 seeds) What distinguishes this varietyAmbar stands out with two features: an unusual dark green skin color for a pumpkin (surprising guests) and a semi-bush habit – taking up less space in the vegetable garden than classic sprawling pumpkins. The flesh is firmer than in other pumpkins, with 15–18% dry matter and exceptionally high beta-carotene content. This makes it ideal for preserves – it retains its structure after heat treatment.Step-by-step cultivationSowing (May, outdoor): sow seeds directly into the ground with spacing of 1 × 1 m, 2–3 seeds per spot, at a depth of 2–3 cm.Selecting the strongest plant: after emergence, leave one strongest seedling in one place. Remove or transplant the others.Care: regular watering at the root, fertile soil, preferably after manure from the previous year. Mulching helps retain moisture and limits weeds.Harvest (September – October): harvest fruits before the first frosts. The skin should be hard, the stem dried. After harvest, keep in the sun for 1–2 weeks, then in a dry, cool place – it lasts until spring.UsageIdeal for preserves – the firm flesh holds its shape after processing, making it perfect for pumpkin jams, pickles, and compotes. A classic for cream soups and baking in slices. Also used in the industry for confectionery and distillery production. Its high beta-carotene content makes it a valuable health-promoting vegetable.Gardener's tipBeta-carotene from pumpkin is fat-soluble – to actually absorb it, cook the pumpkin with added olive oil, butter, or cream. Pumpkin cream soup with added fat has much better vitamin A bioavailability than pumpkin cooked without fat. Classic: pumpkin + butter + ginger + a pinch of nutmeg.Specification Latin name Cucurbita maxima Variety Ambar Type Giant pumpkin, semi-bush Skin Dark green Flesh Firm, golden-orange Fruit weight 2–4 kg Beta-carotene 10–12 mg / 100 g Dry matter 15–18% Position Sunny Seasonality Annual plant Sowing time May (outdoor) Spacing 1 × 1 m Net weight 3 g (~18 seeds) Manufacturer W.

Each fruit weighs 5–8 kg, the flesh is dark orange, sweet, crumbly, with a high content of sugars, carotene, and vitamin A.In brief Type: giant pumpkin, mid-early, productive Fruits: round, slightly flattened Skin: orange with gray netting Flesh: dark orange, sweet, crumbly Fruit weight: 5–8 kg Sowing outdoors: May Position: sunny, fertile soil Number of seeds per package: 4 g (~20 seeds) What distinguishes this varietyBambino is a classic giant pumpkin with sprawling, long shoots (up to 2 m). Mid-early, productive, yields 1–3 fruits per plant. The fruits are rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, can be stored in a dry, cool place until the end of winter – hence the pumpkin as a classic winter vegetable.Cultivation step by stepSowing (May, outdoors): sow seeds directly into the ground spaced 2 × 1.5 m, 2–3 seeds per spot, at a depth of 3–4 cm. After germination, leave the strongest plant.Position: fertile, moist soil, preferably after manure – the pumpkin is voracious and requires a lot of nutrients. Sunny and sheltered location.Care: regular watering, especially during fruit setting and growth. Potassium-phosphorus fertilization for fruits. Shoots can be gently guided to avoid growing into neighboring beds.Harvest and storage (September – October): harvest before the first frosts. Fruits must have a hard, mature skin and a dried stem. After harvest, 1–2 weeks in the sun (hardens the skin), then in a dry, cool room (10–15°C) – they will last until March there.UsageAutumn classic: pumpkin cream soup, pumpkin cake, pumpkin stew, stuffed slices. Great for baking in the oven (cut slices with olive oil and herbs). Seeds – after drying and roasting – make a great snack. Use Bambino pumpkins also as autumn decorations and for Halloween – size and shape are perfect for carving.Gardener's tipThe sweetness of the pumpkin depends on the length of ripening. Bambino picked in August is still unsweet and watery; the same pumpkin after 2 months of storage in a dry place becomes much sweeter. Rule: pumpkins bought/picked taste best only in November. Store patiently – it's worth it.Specification Latin name Cucurbita maxima Variety Bambino Type giant pumpkin, mid-early Skin orange with gray netting Flesh dark orange, sweet, crisp Fruit weight 5–8 kg Shoot creeping, up to 2 m Position sunny, fertile soil Seasonality annual plant Sowing time May (outdoor) Spacing 2 × 1,5 m Net weight 4 g (~20 seeds) Manufacturer W.

    Productive classic dark green zucchini. Soraya is one of the most popular zucchini varieties in Poland – early, productive, reliable. Classic dark green, club-shaped fruits with white-cream, juicy flesh. Compact bush (not sprawling), so it doesn’t take up half the vegetable garden.In brief Type: early, bushy, productive Fruits: dark green, club-shaped, 18–22 cm Flesh: light cream, juicy Sowing: end of April (pots) or May (ground) Harvest: July – September Position: sunny, south-facing Difficulty: easy Number of seeds per package: 2 g (~10 seeds) What makes this variety specialSoraya stands out with a bushy habit (not climbing, like typical zucchini) – ideal for smaller vegetable gardens where there is no space for sprawling shoots. The plants are resistant to downy mildew, which greatly simplifies cultivation in wet years. The fruits are rich in vitamin C and do not accumulate heavy metals – a healthy choice even from an urban garden.Cultivation step by stepSowing (end of April, into pots): sow seeds into 8–10 cm pots at 20–25°C. You can also sow directly into the ground in May, after the risk of frost has passed.Planting (second half of May): plant seedlings at 1 × 1 m spacing, 2–3 seeds in one spot, at a depth of 3 cm. After germination, leave the strongest single plant.Care: a position with intense sunlight (preferably southern), fertile, humus-rich soil, fertilized with compost or manure. Regular watering at the root, never on the leaves.Harvest (July – September): pick fruits regularly at 18–22 cm length. The more often you harvest, the more fruits the plant sets. Do not leave "forgotten" zucchinis on the bush – one large fruit stops the entire plant's production.UsageClassic cuisine: for grilling, frying, baking, stuffing. Great for vegetable spreads, ratatouille, pasta with zucchini. Can be pickled like cucumbers, frozen in slices or grated for pancakes. Bonus for kids: grated zucchini hides well in carrot cake or pancakes.Gardener's tipThe best taste comes from zucchini 20 cm long, not too thick. Larger ones become spongy, with large seeds and lose firmness. Harvest every 2–3 days – at full season one Soraya bush can produce 2–3 zucchinis per week. Neighbors: likes pole beans, corn, tomatoes; dislikes potatoes and cucumbers.Specification Latin name Cucurbita pepo Variety Soraya Type zucchini, bushy, early Fruit color dark green Fruit length (harvest) 18–22 cm Position sunny, southern Seasonality annual plant Sowing time end of April (pots) or May (ground) Harvest time July – September Spacing 1 × 1 m Net weight 2 g Manufacturer W.

    W. Legutko Golden Bantam Organic Sweet Corn - Zea mays convar. saccharata

    Classic corn on the cob – in an organic version. Golden Bantam is a mid-early sweet corn variety with yellow-orange, very sweet seeds. The ears are suitable for cooking whole and serving with butter – a staple of summer grilling. The organic version means certified ecological cultivation, GMO-free.In brief Type: sweet corn, mid-early, organic Plant height: up to 230 cm Grains: yellow-orange, very sweet Outdoor sowing: May Harvest: August – September (after ~80 days) Location: sunny, sheltered from wind Difficulty: medium – requires warmth Net weight: 10 g (~50 seeds) What distinguishes this varietyGolden Bantam is a variety known for over 100 years, valued for reliability and taste. Stems are stiff, upright, and do not branch. Each plant produces 1–2 ears. The taste is classic – sweet, juicy, perfect cooked with butter. Bonus: gluten-free, making it a great substitute for people with celiac disease.Cultivation step by stepSowing (early May, outdoors): sow seeds directly into the soil at a depth of 4–6 cm, spaced 40 × 40 cm apart. Sow 3–4 seeds per spot – after germination, leave the strongest plant.Care: regular watering (corn does not tolerate drought), weeding. Organic fertilizer before sowing, optionally feeding with compost during the season.Pollination: corn is wind-pollinated – plant at least 4 × 4 rows, not a single row. Otherwise, cobs will be hollow inside.Harvest (August – September): pick cobs at the milky stage: the husks start to dry, kernels are full but still soft. When pressed with a fingernail, white "milk" flows out – this is a sign of readiness. Once it reaches the "starchy" stage, cobs become hard and less tasty.UsageClassic: boiled cobs with butter – the taste of summer street food. Great for grilling in the husks, for soups (corn cream), for salads (chowder), for freezing (remove kernels from the cob before freezing). Freshly picked cobs are always sweeter than store-bought – sugar starts breaking down from the moment of picking.Gardener's tipThe best taste is from the moment you pick the cob until the latest hour in the oven. The sugar in corn kernels literally turns into starch every minute – after 24 hours on the shelf, the taste is much worse. Therefore: boil water before going to the garden bed, then pick the cobs. Cook for 5–7 minutes.

Under the classic dark green striped skin lies light yellow, firm, juicy flesh. Adapted to the Polish climate, it performs well both in open ground and tunnels.In brief Skin: thin, dark green with stripes Flesh: yellow, firm, sweet Fruit weight: 3.5–5.5 kg Sowing: mid – late April (into pots) Planting: second half of May Position: sunny, sheltered Difficulty: medium Net weight: 0.75 g What distinguishes this varietyJanosik is a Polish variety created for our climate – unlike exotic watermelons, it tolerates cooler temperatures well. Fruits are round or round-oval, with few small seeds, which is a big advantage for eating raw. The taste is classic, sweet, slightly honeyed, with a hint of difference compared to typical red-fleshed varieties.Step-by-step cultivationSowing (mid to late April, into pots): sow seeds into 7–8 cm pots at 20–24°C. Germination takes up to 2 weeks.Planting (second half of May): seedlings with 4–5 leaves are planted at 1 × 1 m spacing, preferably in holes lined with manure or compost. Sunny, sheltered location.Care: regular but moderate watering at the root. Potassium-phosphorus fertilization during fruiting. Mulching with agrotextile helps retain warmth and moisture.Harvest (August – September): the tendril closest to the fruit dries up, the contact point with the ground yellows, the fruit gives a dull sound when tapped with a finger.UsageClassically raw – yellow flesh is an attraction on the plate. Great for fruit compositions with red watermelon (color contrast), for salads with feta and mint, and for freezing in cubes for smoothies. Sweet, honey-like flavor, milder than in red varieties.Gardener's tipYellow watermelons have a more delicate flavor than red ones – that's why it's worth eating them chilled, but not ice cold. Optimal serving temperature: about 8–10°C. At too low a temperature (straight from the fridge), the flavor is hidden, and the pleasant honey note is lost.Specification Latin name Citrullus lanatus Variety Janosik Origin Polish variety Skin color dark green with stripes Flesh color yellow Fruit weight 3.5–5.5 kg Position sunny, sheltered Seasonality annual plant Sowing time mid – late April Planting time second half of May Harvest time August – September Spacing 1 × 1 m Net weight 0.75 g Manufacturer W.

The fruits are large, can weigh up to 7 kg.Step-by-step cultivationSowing (mid-April – May): sow seeds into 7–8 cm pots at 20–24°C. Germination after 7–14 days. Harden off indoors 1–2 weeks before planting out.Planting (second half of May): seedlings with 4–5 leaves are planted at 1 × 1 m spacing, in holes lined with manure or compost. Sunny, sheltered position.Care: moderate watering at the root (never on the leaves – watermelons do not tolerate moisture on leaves), potassium-phosphorus fertilization from the moment fruits set.Harvest (August – September): a ripe watermelon gives a dull sound when tapped, and the tendril on the stem closest to the fruit dries out. The skin remains green – but becomes more matte.UsageGreat raw – the orange flesh is a visual hit on a dessert plate. Perfect for fruit salads with feta and mint, for smoothies with mango and yogurt. You can also freeze in cubes for cocktails. The taste is very sweet, slightly more honey-melon-like than classic red watermelon.Gardener's tipUnder one watermelon bush leave only 2–3 fruits. If you leave all the set fruits, the plant will spread its resources on small, unsweet fruits. In early July, walk along the bed and remove smaller, less developed fruits – the remaining 2–3 will grow to full size and be exceptionally tasty.Specification Latin name Citrullus lanatus Variety Orangeglo Skin color dark green Flesh color orange Fruit weight up to 7 kg Position sunny, sheltered Seasonality annual plant Sowing time mid-April – May Planting time second half of May Harvest time August – September Spacing 1 × 1 m Net weight 1 g Manufacturer W.

    The first Polish watermelon variety. Złoto Wolicy F1 is a historic Polish variety – the first watermelon bred for our climate. Characteristic yellow skin (when ripe) with red, sweet, juicy flesh inside. Very early, productive, and resistant to powdery mildew – the watermelon every gardener in Poland starts with.In brief Type: early F1 hybrid variety Skin: initially green, ripe yellow Flesh: red, firm, sweet Stem: creeping, up to 2 m long Sowing: mid-April – early May (into pots) Planting: second half of May Location: sunny, sheltered from wind Number of seeds per package: approx. 17 pcs (0.5 g) What distinguishes this varietyZłoto Wolicy owes its name to the color change of the skin during ripening – from green to golden yellow. This is a great advantage because it’s easy to tell when to harvest. Fruits are round or round-oval, with firm, juicy, very sweet flesh. High tolerance to powdery mildew and downy mildew makes cultivation successful even in the wet Polish summer.Cultivation step by stepSowing (mid-April – early May, into pots): sow seeds into 7–8 cm pots at 20–24°C. Germination takes about 2 weeks. Single sowing, one seed per pot.Planting (second half of May): transplant seedlings with 4–5 leaves into the ground at 1 × 1 m spacing, preferably into holes lined with manure or compost. In cooler regions, a tunnel or black agrotextile under the plants is recommended.Care: sunny and sheltered position – watermelon does not tolerate drafts. Fertile, moist soil. Moderate watering, potassium-phosphorus fertilization from the moment fruits set.Harvest (August – September): fruits ripen about 55 days after flower pollination. The rind changes color from green to yellow – this is a sign of readiness. Additional test: tap with a finger – a ripe watermelon sounds hollow.UsageClassic summer watermelon – sweet, juicy flesh, perfect raw. Great for juices and smoothies, fruit salads, and as a base for watermelon water (blended with mint and lime). The Złoto Wolicy rind is decorative – a yellow watermelon on the table makes an impression.Gardener's tipWatermelon is a greedy plant – one bush needs soil rich in manure or compost. Without fertilization and in poor soil, the fruits will be small and not sweet. Tip for beginners: in spring, dig a hole 50 × 50 × 50 cm, fill it with manure and cover with a 20 cm layer of fertile soil. Plant the watermelon in this hole – yields will be much higher.Specification Latin name Citrullus lanatus Variety Złoto Wolicy F1 Type early F1 hybrid Skin color yellow (ripe) Flesh color red Position sunny, sheltered Seasonality annual plant Sowing time mid-April – early May Transplanting time second half of May Harvest time August – September Spacing 1 × 1 m Net weight 0.5 g (~17 seeds) Manufacturer W.

    Petals like needles, color like ruby. Cinderella is a needle aster variety with an intense carmine red color. Individual flowers are needle-shaped, closely packed, creating the effect of bristling plumes – hence the name “needle type.” One of the most beautiful colors among Chinese asters.In brief Type: Needle type Height: 50–80 cm Flowering: July – October Color: Carmine red Sowing under cover: March – April Planting: May Difficulty: easy Net weight: 0.5 g What makes this variety specialCinderella produces impressive flower heads with densely packed, narrow, needle-like petals that give a sense of movement and light in the bouquet. Height 50–80 cm makes it an ideal bouquet aster – tall enough for long stems to fit in a vase, but not so tall that it falls over.Step-by-step cultivationSowing (March – April, under cover): sow seeds in boxes or trays at 16–20°C. Germination after 7–14 days.Pricking out: seedlings with 2–3 leaves are transplanted into separate pots or trays.Planting (May): after the last frosts, in flower beds spaced 40 × 20 cm. Sunny position, fertile and well-drained soil.Care: regular watering during dry periods, fertilize every 2 weeks with fertilizer for flowering plants. Taller varieties in windy locations should be gently supported.UsageA classic for cut flowers – freshness in the vase up to 14 days. Excellent for flower beds in single group plantings or mixed with other aster varieties (needle mix: red, blue, white creates a phenomenal effect). Ideal for wedding and autumn bouquets.Gardener’s tipTo extend flowering, regularly cut off faded flower heads – an aster that doesn’t have time to set seeds tries to produce new buds. This way, one plant can have 3–4 waves of flowering from July to October.

    Royal class among asters. Princely asters stand out from other types: they have a flat center surrounded by a "ruff" of longer tubular flowers and several rows of ligulate petals. The effect – a flower with two levels, looking like a miniature diadem. The purple shade adds a royal character.In brief Height: approx. 50 cm Flowering: July – October Position: sunny, sheltered from wind Sowing under cover: March – April Planting: May Difficulty: easy Net weight: 1 g What makes this variety specialPrincely asters have a characteristic two-layer flower structure that distinguishes them from needle asters (narrow needle-like petals) or peony asters (dense, spherical). Height about 50 cm makes them ideal for the middle part of the bed – they don’t get lost among low plants and don’t compete with really tall ones (like sunflowers). The purple color is a classic of autumn compositions.Step-by-step cultivationSowing (March – April, under cover): sow seeds in trays or pallets at 16–20°C. Germination after about 2 weeks.Pricking out: after the first pair of true leaves appear, transplant seedlings into separate pots or containers.Planting (May): after frost has passed, plant seedlings in beds spaced 40 × 20 cm. Sunny position, fertile and moist soil.Care: regular watering during dry periods, fertilize every 2–3 weeks with fertilizer for flowering plants (less nitrogen, more phosphorus and potassium).UsageClassically for cut flowers – stays fresh in a vase for 7–14 days. Great for flower beds and borders, especially in groups of 5–10 plants (purple cloud effect). Matches yellow marigolds, white zinnias, silvery ornamental grasses. Honey plant – bees and butterflies love asters.Gardener's tipChinese asters suffer from fusarium wilt – a soil disease that causes wilting and dying of plants just before flowering. Prevention: never plant asters in the same place more often than every 3–4 years. If one bush rots in July, plant another resistant plant in its place – do not try to replace an aster with another aster.Specification Latin name Callistephus chinensis Type princely Color purple Height approx. 50 cm Position Sunny Seasonality Annual plant Sowing time under cover March – April Planting time May Flowering period July – October Spacing 40 × 20 cm Net weight 1 g Manufacturer W.

Fruits are regular, do not deform, with thick, crisp flesh. Recommended for open ground (in warmer regions) and unheated tunnels.Cultivation step by stepSowing (March, under cover): sow seeds in trays or pallets at 18–20°C. Germination after 10–14 days. Keep seedlings in a bright, warm place (windowsill, LED lighting in February/March).Pricking out: seedlings are transplanted into 7–8 cm pots after the first pair of true leaves appear. Harden off 1–2 weeks before planting out.Planting (second half of May): after frost has passed, in open ground or under a tunnel, spaced 40 × 50 cm. Sunny, sheltered position, fertile and moist soil.Care: regular watering at the base (not on leaves), fertilizing with compost, nettle manure, or organic fertilizer for fruit vegetables.

The thick 6–8 mm wall ensures it holds shape well after cooking.Gardener’s tipSweet pepper loves companionship with tomato – growing nearby, it ripens faster because tomatoes release ethylene.

    W. Legutko Tall Ground Tomato Pokusa - Solanum lycopersicum

    Cherry in long clusters – forget about supermarket ones. Pokusa is an early Polish cherry tomato variety that produces very long, often branched clusters of small, fleshy fruits. Each bush yields hundreds of small red tomatoes – perfect for whole jar preservation and as an attractive decoration for salads or cheese plates.In brief Type: tall, outdoor, cherry Fruits: round, fleshy, diameter 2–3 cm Sowing under cover: mid-March – early April Planting: second half of May Location: sunny Difficulty: medium – requires staking Number of seeds per package: approx. 180 pcs. (0.6 g) What distinguishes this varietyPokusa is a variety with continuous growth (indeterminate) – the bush grows and fruits as long as the weather allows. The shoots are flexible, with a loose habit, so they require staking and training on 2–3 stems. In return, you get clusters of 15–25 fruits that ripen gradually from June to October.Cultivation step by stepSowing (mid-March – early April, under cover): sow seeds in trays or pallets at a temperature of 22–25°C. Germination occurs after 7–14 days. Prick out at 10 × 10 cm spacing after the first pair of true leaves appear.Planting (second half of May): after the frost has passed, in the ground or in pots (min. 10 l) spaced 60–70 × 50–60 cm. Sunny location, fertile soil.Training: insert stakes immediately after planting (min. 1.5 m). Train the plant on 2–3 main shoots, regularly remove suckers (side shoots from leaf axils). Tie up every 30 cm.Care: water regularly at the root, fertilize with tomato fertilizer every 10–14 days. Watch out for tomato blight – remove lower leaves, ventilate the crop.UsageA classic for whole pickling – cherry tomatoes fit perfectly into jars. Great as a decoration for salads, snacks on a cheese plate, as an ingredient in skewers, for baking in the oven with olive oil and herbs (then for pasta). Small fruits ripen gradually, so the bush provides fresh tomatoes until October.Gardener's tipCherry tomatoes have much thinner skin than large varieties – they crack with sudden changes in humidity. If after a long drought you start watering the bush abundantly, most fruits will crack. Rule: water regularly and evenly. In heat, better to water half as much twice than once a lot, to maintain moisture at a constant level.Specification Latin name Solanum lycopersicum Variety Pokusa Type tall, ground, cherry, indeterminate Fruit color red Fruit diameter 2–3 cm Position sunny Seasonality annual plant Sowing time mid-March – early April Planting time second half of May Spacing 60–70 × 50–60 cm Net weight 0.6 g Series Traditional Manufacturer W.
