With the Advent Calendar with Historical Seeds, you can bring 24 traditional vegetable and herb varieties back to life - ideal for your own herb and vegetable garden. Every day you can expect a different, hand-picked seed variety that is free from genetic engineering, seed-resistant and organic. Discover original and almost forgotten plants whose intense flavour far surpasses modern varieties.
New varieties that are trimmed for yield are often less robust and require very special conditions. Old varieties, on the other hand, cope better with the prevailing climatic conditions and are less susceptible to pests - without the use of chemicals.
This calendar not only offers a culinary journey into the past, but also contributes to the protection of species and the preservation of biodiversity. Old varieties are often more robust and adaptable than new breeds, making them ideal for growing in the garden, raised beds or even in pots on balconies and patios - without the use of chemicals.
The highlights of this Advent calendar include the ‘White Peach’ salad tomato. A mild, fruity and yellow-fleshed variety that also thrives in cooler temperatures. The ‘Gelber Zentner’ pumpkin is an edible pumpkin that lives up to its name and produces fruits weighing up to 20-30 kg. Its mild flavour makes it ideal for soups, chutneys, as an oven vegetable or for jams. Wild rocket is the original form of rocket with an intense and spicy flavour. Perfect in salads or with Italian dishes. The beefsteak tomato ‘Marmande’ is an original French beefsteak tomato that is very productive and robust. It has large, juicy fruits with a great, spicy-fruity flavour.
The seeds can be grown in the garden or greenhouse, but are also very suitable for raised beds or for growing in pots on balconies and terraces.
The organic seed advent calendar is a great gift for plant lovers, nature conservationists and anyone who enjoys gardening in harmony with nature. A wonderful alternative to classic advent calendars!
