The Western Mountain Region Seed Collection is designed for gardeners facing cool nights, shorter growing seasons, and the unpredictable weather common to high-elevation and mountain climates. This carefully assembled assortment focuses on dependable, cold-tolerant vegetables that perform well across a wide range of Western mountain elevations when planted according to local frost dates.

The foundation of this collection is built around proven mountain garden staples. Root crops such as carrots, beets, parsnips, radishes, and turnips mature reliably underground where temperature swings have less impact, while leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, kale, Swiss chard, and chicory thrive in cool daytime temperatures and crisp nights. These crops are well known for producing steady harvests in cooler conditions and shorter seasons.

Early-season brassicas, including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and kohlrabi, are included for their ability to form quality heads and tender stems without requiring long periods of summer heat. Hardy legumes such as peas, fava beans, and bush beans provide both fresh eating and preserving options while tolerating cooler soils and moderate temperatures.

To round out the selection, this collection includes an early-maturing, cold-tolerant tomato type selected for short-season performance, along with a reliable summer squash suitable for mountain gardens when planted after frost risk has passed and grown in full sun.

All seeds in this collection are bundled at ten percent less than the combined à la carte prices, offering a practical and economical way to plan a productive mountain garden using proven, region-appropriate crops rather than experimenting on uncertain varieties.

The Western Mountain Region Seed Collection provides a balanced foundation of familiar vegetables, thoughtful crop selection, and dependable performance for gardeners seeking consistent results in Western mountain growing conditions year after year.
