Frost Kissed Seed Tin Giveaway
Yesterday, we arrived home and found a package on the doorstep from Peaceful Valley Farm Supply. Of course that made me giddy, as packages of seeds and garden goodies always do! I’m very familiar with this company, because my parents have been ordering from them since I was a little girl. Back in the day, they were one of the few places to find organic gardening supplies.
Inside my package I found a big bag of Soil Builder Cover Crop with an envelope of inoculant. Being a huge fan of various cover crops and the wonderful benefits they provide, I’m really looking forward to trying this out!
I also received a collection of various seeds that I will experiment with planting this fall and winter. Which seeds arrived? ‘Little Finger’ carrots, ‘Flame’ lettuce, ‘Bloomsdale’ spinach, ‘Pink Beauty’ radish, ‘French Breakfast’ radish, ‘Sparkler’ radish, Mesclun mix, Braising greens mix, arugula, ‘Tres Fine’ endive, ‘Freckles’ lettuce, and ‘Black Seeded Simpson’ lettuce.
Along with all of the wonderful cold tolerant vegetables above, I also received the Frost Kissed Spring or Fall Mix Seed Tin. I plan on planting some of these this fall in a low tunnel to see how they do. The remaining seeds will be planted early next spring.
In order to kick start you fall garden, Peaceful Valley is going to be giving away a Frost Kissed Seed Tin to one lucky reader. All you have to do is comment on this post. Winner will be chosen September 12. Winner chosen, thanks to Random.org Joy Giles won. She said “Looks like a small Farmers’ Market to be in a tin. Would love to plant test garden with these.”
What’s your favorite fall/winter vegetable?
What a cool product – I am ready sow some fall seeds. My favorites are lettuce and kale. I’m craving some salad greens but the summer has been too hot for them to grow.

I love kale all year round but mustard greens are my favorite cool weather crop.
to Molly's comment
I love Kale,Chard,Greens in the fall garden and planted garlic for the first time last fall which did pretty good. My daughter gave me one of these tins for my birthday a few years ago. Everything I planted from that tin grew very well and so many of those things from that tin are still growing and thriving. Oh, the wonder of a seed!

Winter squash and kale! And they’re great together.
to Jenny's comment
Peaceful Valley is just north of where I’m located. They’ve been on my list to visit for a while. Perhaps this is a good excuse?!
to Lynn's comment
Dont include me in the giveaway as i live in England…..but just wanted to say i love the art work on the seed packets.
to Mich's comment
Red russian kale! In S. Philly + raised garden bed, I have been able to keep it ALL winter long! It thrives under snow! Last year I made 4 sq foot plots, we cooked it down in everything + I made salads for work with it every day! Totally a workhorse green. :)

I LOVE BEETS..We are newly moved to the area and have tilled and now composting our entire back yard. Ready for some seeds. What a great giveaway. Just purchased Can O Worms for our 9 yr old for his birthday….he loves it!

Without a doubt, turnips and their greens are my favorite frosty crop…!!

Kale and leeks are my favorites!

What a beautiful grouping of seeds. Looks amazing! Would love to plant them all.
to Kelly's comment
What a great contest! This is the first year I’ve looked into planting for fall and winter, so I was really excited to read this post!
to Lianne Meilhac's comment
I like garlic and potatos in the winter here in San Diego.
to Phillip Dauben's comment
I love your seeds! I love that you are selling only non GMO non-Monsanto seeds! It’s so important! I would love to win the fost variety tin! I am most interested in the red kale and the lettuce. I actually have all the other stuff because I ordered it back in Spring from you guys. <3

Carrots!!!

I am ready sow some fall seeds.
to Jacqueline's comment
In Jan. my home was hit with an storm and I had to move and downsize. My new place is almost ready and smaller in another location. I will no longer have the large yard and garden space. I would like to do wall and balcony gardening. Having to start from scratch these seeds would help.
to Karen Mohammad's comment
Broccoli and cauliflower are so much better fresh from the garden. And I love red and green mustard cabbage for winter stir fries.
to Barbara Condon's comment
gorgeous fall carrots!
to lisa parks's comment
Neat giveaway!
I like sugar pumpkins, squash and leafy greens.
to Lisa's comment
I can’t wait to start my spring garden! This will be the first time we plant a garden in the ground. We have always had container gardens.

This is my first year with a fall garden. The baby snap peas have sprouted, along with the carrots and green onions. Love your blog! Very inspirational!
to Mistie O's comment
It may seem weird to many, but my favorite is the brussel sprout.
to The Subversive Hippie's comment
I would love to try a fall garden!

Cabbage. Love, Love, Love Cabbage!

I am trying a cover crop for the first time this year!
to Elly's comment
I love pumpkins and broccoli.
to Larissa's comment
Picking my favorite fall vegetable would be really hard. We are raw food vegans and we love them all! Thanks for making such a nice variety available.
to David Gonzales's comment
Squash is my favorite! Although nothing tastes better than fresh sweet cukes! I love, love, love the tin!
to Stone soup's comment
I know most people get bored of it by winter’s end but I love Kale. Never grown it but intend to this winter.
to Anna Brunswick's comment
The older I get the more I love my fall and winter gardens. I grow many cool .weather crops. The things I look forward to most are the first salads with mixed greens,onion, radish,green peas, sugar pod peas with fresh dill and a bit of garlic.
to dianne chambless's comment
My favorite fall veggie is chard; we especially love the rainbow variety.
We have learned to plant double what we eat, as the goldfinches eat almost as much as we do.
This year we will be planting a full garden, not just a couple of things.
We are so blessed to be able to do this, and to share the bounty with our neighbors & friends (not just the birds!).
to Lynda Jorgensen's comment
i live in a town house and will be attempting to make cold frame out of strawbales on the back patio. can’t wait to get it started.
to cody taylor's comment
We love winter squash at our house. I’m not very good about planting in late summer for fall harvest. I tried to plant parsnips and carrots for fall but neither did well. We have lots of kale though!
to Kristen's comment
Swiss Chard is by far my favorite. It survived our 20 degrees last winter and grew happily right through our 100+ degree summers.
to Sandra H.'s comment
I love Peaceful Valley, I just wish I lived close to Grass Valley so I could visit and shop! I ordered a Peach Tree last Winter and it is growing beautifully. My seeds from Spring planting have now grown huge and have been giving me wonderful veggies throughout the summer!
to Susan Lilly's comment
We did our second summer garden this year and are looking forward to our first fall/winter garden! Thanks for the post! :)
to Lorina's comment
What a great give away. I’ve wanted to replant in the fall.
to Joy A Humphries's comment
Butternut squash!
to Melissa's comment
Parsnips and kale! Also I’d like to try grow a second run of peas.
to Sarah Policastro's comment
Kale and Spinach!
