Black radish is a large, round root vegetable characterized by its dark, rough skin and white, crisp flesh. Known for its strong, pungent flavor, black radish has a sharp, spicy taste that is more intense than that of red or white radishes. It is often used in cooking and can be eaten raw in salads, grated into slaws, or cooked in soups and stews, where its flavor mellows.

Red radishes are small, round root vegetables known for their bright red skin and crisp, crunchy texture. They have a peppery flavor that can vary in intensity, with younger radishes generally being milder than older ones. Red radishes are commonly eaten raw in salads, on sandwiches, or as a crunchy snack, and they can also be pickled or used as a garnish.

Nantes carrots are a popular heirloom variety known for their cylindrical, blunt-tipped shape and smooth, nearly coreless texture. Typically, they grow to about 6-7 inches in length, with a bright orange color and a tender, crisp bite. Nantes carrots are prized for their sweetness and mild flavor, making them ideal for both raw and cooked dishes.

Baby carrots are small, tender carrots that are often sweeter and more convenient to eat than regular carrots. True baby carrots, which are harvested early while still small, are often confused with "peeled mini" carrots, which are made by cutting and shaping larger carrots into smaller pieces.

Baby mixed carrots are small, tender carrots that are often sweeter and more convenient to eat than regular carrots.

Thumbelina carrots are a unique variety of heirloom carrots known for their short, round, and stubby shape, resembling small orange orbs. They typically grow to about 1-2 inches in diameter, making them look quite different from the traditional long, tapered carrot. Despite their small size, Thumbelina carrots have a sweet, crisp, and tender texture, with a flavor that is often described as richer and earthier than standard carrots.

A familiar and popular variety, often called snap or string beans. Most green beans grown today no longer have the tough string along the margin of the pod that needs to be pulled off. Blue Lakes are bright, sweet and tender. They should snap when broken apart, revealing the tiny seeds inside; large seeds indicate that the beans may be overgrown and not as tender.

Yellow wax beans are a variety of snap beans that have an edible, yellow, waxy pod and are nearly identical to green beans in all aspects except for color.

Also called Italian flat or broad beans, these beans are meaty, flattened and elongated (as opposed to the rounded shape of string beans).
