It was developed within modern breeding programs that specifically selected varieties for summer cultivation - with a particular focus on bolt resistance, heat tolerance, and uniform head formation. As such, it belongs to the modern iceberg lettuce selections created as alternatives to hybrid varieties, distinguished by their robustness and open‑pollinated reproducibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Saladin’ is part of a European advancement and is considered a proven variety with a long harvest window.

Its particular strength lies in its ability to form stable heads even under high temperatures, making it a reliable variety for summer cultivation, even in subtropical climates. To this day, ‘Saladin’ is maintained and passed on by ecological seed initiatives. It stands as an exemplar of the importance of freely accessible, non‑patented cultivated varieties in vegetable production and symbolizes the preservation of genetic diversity in open‑pollinated lettuces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows compactly in a rosette form and reaches a height of about 20-30 cm.

By the mid‑20th century the variety had already spread and became known for its ability to form stable heads even under high temperatures, without bolting prematurely. The breeding goal was a broad‑leaved, open Batavia type with a light‑green heart and reddish‑tinted outer leaves, combining a mild‑sweet flavor with robust growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Spain, Maravilla de Verano quickly established itself as a preferred choice for summer and autumn production. From there it spread to France and Italy, where Batavia lettuces have long been appreciated, and the variety found its place in both commercial and home gardening. Its capacity to remain in the field for extended periods without losing quality gave it an exceptionally long harvest window. Maravilla de Verano is regarded as one of the classic Batavia varieties, bridging the transition from regional selections to a widely cultivated European type. To this day it serves as a historic reference variety for heat‑tolerant Batavia lettuce and has secured a lasting position among traditional lettuce cultivars thanks to its open‑pollinated nature and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows in a rosette form and reaches a height of about 25 cm.

This places 'Bijella Verão' in a clear lineage of proven varieties, refined through careful breeding to create a new, climate‑adapted type. Its exceptional heat tolerance makes it especially valuable: even under intense summer heat in partial shade, it remains productive and germinates reliably – conditions where many other lettuce varieties fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name addition 'Verão' (Portuguese for 'summer') directly highlights its suitability for hot seasons, linking Portuguese language and culture with modern biodynamic breeding.

By the early 20th century the variety was documented under its present name. It originated through peasant selection and was preserved as a decorative, bolt‑resistant Romaine lettuce with its characteristic speckling. The name “Forellenschluss” refers to the reddish‑brown spots on the leaves, reminiscent of a trout’s markings. While such leaf patterns were often considered a flaw and bred out over time, 'Forellenschluss' remained one of the exceptions and developed into a valued specialty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Austria the variety spread into Central Europe and by the early 20th century also reached North America, where it became known as “Trout Back” or “Freckles.” Its striking leaf pattern and robust, bolt‑resistant nature made it a popular heirloom variety that is still cultivated in gardens today. 'Forellenschluss' is regarded as a symbol of conserving historic cultivated varieties and is preserved as an open‑pollinated alternative to modern hybrids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows upright and forms semi‑open heads reaching about 30 cm in height.

The leaf vegetable was mainly cultivated until 1985, when newer varieties were bred to withstand colder temperatures. Radicchio grows upright in rosettes and has deep red and heart-shaped leaves that twist around each other to form a tight, round to high oval head. The taste is sharp and slightly bitter, which decreases when heated. Small rosettes can be harvested early. Radicchio is only partially hardy; the rosette-forming variety can stay in the bed over the winter and sprout again in the spring, making it one of the first fresh leaf vegetables in the garden.

Its origins lie in the Central European region near the Mediterranean, where chard has been cultivated since antiquity and valued as a nutrient-rich leafy vegetable. The variety emerged as an intermediate form between leaf and stalk chard, selected to produce a robust plant with broad, creamy-white stalks, strongly ruffled leaves, and uniform growth. The name refers to the Roman general and gourmet Lucius Licinius Lucullus, renowned for culinary diversity and enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Lucullus’ is considered especially hardy and winter-resistant, setting it apart from other chard varieties. Its introduction in the early decades of the 20th century marked an important step in the development of chard. Thanks to its resilience against weather extremes and its long harvest period, it quickly became a reference variety for cultivation across different climates and remains firmly established in many regions of Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, ‘Lucullus’ is traditionally known as Mangold, Krautstiel, or Stielmangold.

In locations with a lot of snails, pre-cultivation is always recommended. Snails love small fennel sprouts! To obtain compact, high-quality bulbs, mounds, even watering and temperatures are important. Lots of nutrients and minerals in the soil make the bulbs more tender. Growing in a greenhouse is only recommended over the winter with sufficient ventilation. Small seedlings can withstand temperatures of up to -4°C for a short time, large plants with tuber development would start to rot at these temperatures.

Originally, it was widespread in the Alps, the Pyrenees, and the low mountain ranges of Central Europe, where it grew on nitrogen-rich soils near villages and pastures. Already in the Middle Ages it was valued as both a vegetable and a medicinal plant, appearing in herbals of the 15th and 16th centuries as an important food source. Its leaves were regarded as a vitamin-rich addition to winter diets, while the young shoots and flower clusters were prepared as vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp until the 17th century, Good King Henry was common in cottage gardens and cultivated as “poor man’s spinach,” since it reliably sprouted every spring and could be harvested for many years. With the rise of annual cultivated spinach (\u003cem\u003eSpinacia oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e), however, it lost importance and was increasingly displaced. In rural regions it survived as a traditional plant, passed down through generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant is distinguished by its perennial growth and exceptional hardiness, setting it apart from modern spinach varieties. It develops strong taproots, sprouts anew each spring, and provides a continuous supply of fresh leaves.

Today, Good King Henry is considered a rare and marginalized variety, preserved as cultural heritage by gardeners and initiatives dedicated to old vegetable species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows herbaceous and reaches a height of about 80 cm.

The species is distributed worldwide, with origins in the Mediterranean region and Western Asia. As early as antiquity, purslane was valued both as a vegetable and medicinal plant; Hippocrates mentioned it as a remedy, and it was also appreciated in Egypt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe variety \u003cem\u003esativa\u003c\/em\u003e was selected for larger, fleshier leaves and a milder flavor. From the Mediterranean area, Garden Purslane spread during the Middle Ages into Central Europe, where it was grown in monastery gardens. Especially in France, Italy, and Spain, it has remained a popular leafy vegetable to this day. With European settlers, it reached America and Australia, establishing itself both as a cultivated plant and as a naturalized companion species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the 19th century, the variety \u003cem\u003esativa\u003c\/em\u003e was described in botanical works such as the \u003cem\u003eProdromus\u003c\/em\u003e by A. P. de Candolle. In the 20th century, Garden Purslane largely fell into obscurity in Central Europe, but today it is experiencing a renaissance – not only because of its flavor, but also due to its high content of alpha-linolenic acid (omega‑3 fatty acids), vitamin C, vitamin A, and minerals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant is a succulent, with prostrate to ascending stems that are often reddish in color.
