In modern times, witches have been depicted in various ways, and their outfits have evolved along with these portrayals. Traditionally, witches were often depicted wearing long black robes with pointy hats and broomsticks. However, in recent years, the image of the witch has been reinvented, and their outfits have become more diverse and dynamic. Contemporary witch fashion has embraced a wide range of styles and influences. Many modern witches opt for a more eclectic and individualistic look, drawing inspiration from different subcultures, such as goth, bohemian, and punk. This allows witches to express their unique identity through their attire and break away from the stereotypical image of a witch.
Most of the vegetable and herb plants we sell on this site can be grown outdoors throughout the Continental US - however it is important to transplant your starter plant at the right time based on the weather and climate in your area. Many of our herb plants can also be grown indoors so long as you have sufficient light and water. If you grow herbs indoors, you will still need to transplant your herb plants into properly sized containers with added potting mix.
In hot weather, vegetables need even more water, up to about a half an inch extra per week for every 10 degrees that the average temperature is above 60 degrees. Major pests Cabbage Looper, Diamondback Moth, Imported Cabbageworm Cultural controls control cabbage-family weeds near crop fields, till under crop debris of early-season brassicas after harvest.
This allows witches to express their unique identity through their attire and break away from the stereotypical image of a witch. Black remains a popular color choice for witch outfits, but it is often mixed with other colors to create a more visually striking look. Layers and textures play a crucial role in modern witch fashion, with many witches incorporating elements like lace, velvet, and leather into their outfits.
Green Magic Broccoli
Brassica oleracea (botrytis group)
(90 days) F-1 hybrid. As supplier/breeder Sakata dropped 30+ year farmer-fave Arcadia, we were already eyeing their late-summer to fall Green Magic. In our 2019 September taste test, royal taster Nikos was bewitched by Green Magic’s “full package”: rich nutty sweet stem and floret flavor, with tender texture that’s neither soft nor mealy. Compact 2' tall plant delivers a dark green semi-domed 6–8" head with medium-small tight bead. With the added magic of abundant side shoots, good heat tolerance and some resistance to downy mildew, this broccoli should keep you and your coven healthy wherever you practice the green arts. Tested negative for BR and BL. ⑤

Additional Information
Broccoli
- About 100-300 seeds/g. Average varies by cultivar.
- Days to maturity are from seedling emergence (subtract 20 days for transplants)
Culture: Start broccoli indoors March–May for setting out May–July, or direct-seed in May or June for fall crop. Easier as a fall crop because many varieties perform poorly in hot summers. For better stands in dry conditions sow in trenches and keep irrigated. Broccoli dislikes the extreme temperature and moisture fluctuations we have endured in recent seasons. Climate change is making it a challenge to grow even the more heat-tolerant varieties in the summer, while at the same time broadening opportunities in our longer more temperate falls.
Nutrition and disclaimer: Broccoli contains significant levels of sulforaphane, a substance that helps detoxify carcinogens from the body. Some years back, research indicating that broccoli seed sprouts are higher in sulforaphane than the vegetable itself caused a run on open-pollinated broccoli seeds. The broccoli seed we offer is seed grade, and it is not fit for human consumption as sprouts. It is not stored in food-safe sanitary conditions before it reaches us. For sprouting seed, please contact your natural foods supplier.
Disease: Head Rot
Cultural controls: use well-domed varieties, harvest heads when tight, cut stalks at an angle.

Brassicas
Days to maturity are from seedling emergence. Subtract 20 days for transplants.
Culture: Start brassicas indoors March-May for setting out May-July, or direct-seed in May, or in June for fall crop. Minimum germination soil temperature 40°, optimal range 55–85°. Easier grown for the fall because many varieties perform poorly in hot summers. For better stands in dry conditions, sow in trenches and keep irrigated. Wire hoops and row cover should be used at early stages to keep out flea beetles and swede midge.
Note: because of a rule issued by Oregon, we cannot ship brassica packets larger than ½ oz. (14 grams) into the Willamette Valley, except those that have tested negative for Black Leg and Black Rot. Check descriptions for information.

Swede Midge—not as cute as it sounds!
Alert! Heading brassicas in the Northeast are seeing consistent damage from swede midge, a tiny gall midge. Its effects result in a non-heading plant. Wire hoops and row cover at early stages of heading brassica crops are becoming crucial for success. Some research also suggests garlic sprays as a possible organic repellent. Consult your Cooperative Extension resources for further information.

These materials not only add depth and dimension to their attire but also invoke a sense of mystery and magic. Accessories are another essential aspect of modern witch fashion. Many witches adorn themselves with symbolic jewelry, such as pentagram necklaces, moon phase earrings, and rune rings. These pieces not only enhance their outfits but also hold personal significance and act as talismans or amulets. Footwear also plays a significant role in modern witch fashion. While some witches opt for classic black boots or shoes, others choose to incorporate unconventional footwear, such as lace-up thigh-high boots or platform heels. These choices allow witches to express their individuality and add a touch of drama to their overall look. Hair and makeup are crucial components of modern witch fashion. Many witches experiment with different hair colors, styles, and accessories, ranging from waist-length black locks to vibrant hues like purple or green. Makeup is used to enhance their features and create mystical or ethereal looks, with bold dark lip shades, smoky eyes, and dramatic contouring being popular choices. Overall, modern witch fashion has moved beyond the traditional stereotypes and embraced a more diverse and individualistic style. By incorporating various influences and personal touches, witches today can express their identity and connection to the mystical in a way that is unique and empowering..
