Barbarea verna

Origin: Western Asia & Southern Europe

Improvement status: Cultivated wild material

Seeds per packet: ~400

Germination tested 12/2025: 85%

Life cycle: Biennial or occasionally short-lived perennial

Also called land cress, bitter cress, winter cress, and Belle Isle cress, this cabbage-family biennial (or short-lived perennial) from western Asia and southern Europe has become naturalized around the world. The taste is similar to watercress, but it is much easier to grow (needs no water beyond that which falls from the sky). Long cultivated as a vegetable, it is most well-known these days as a weed, but for many people it is still a treasured heirloom — not least because at various points in history it has been a lifeline. As a critical source of Vitamin C and other nutrients, it has prevented scurvy for untold numbers of people through the years. Stories abound of people in life-threatening situations relying on this plant for vital nutrition, from shipwrecked sailors in Europe to enslaved African people in the US — both while enduring slavery and on the run, living by their wits and foraging for whatever could be found. 

Our seeds come from the Ujamaa Cooperative Farming Alliance (UCFA), who got them from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange (SESE). The name "creasy greens" applies most to this species when it is cooked like collard greens, but that's the name SESE uses for it, so that's the name we're using too. 50% of the cost of every packet sold will be returned to UCFA.

Carry on with the great writing Rachel Lacey while I look for my next bodyguard book
Format: Kindle
I'm on a bodyguard reading kick right now, only wlw of course. I read this one for the first time about a year ago and somehow, I didn't leave a review. ( I'm good at hopping from one book to another and forgetting to write one. oopsy) I loved the bodyguard part but as stories go I always hate someone's parent dying. ( too much like real life) I know it's necessary to show why Natalie is so effed up. Rachel wrote a great ending to this story and that is always a plus in my eyes.

Romance, Steam, and Angst!
Format: Kindle
When successful movie star Natalie Keane hires Taylor Vaughn to be her bodyguard and fake girlfriend, it doesn't take long for their pretend attraction to spark very real feelings, but with both women deeply scarred by the past, is a Hollywood-style happy ending possible? Strictly speaking, Cover Story is a celebrity romance. Natalie Keane is a successful film actress whose career is at a high point thanks to a recent Golden Globe nomination. She has an entourage and even lives in a large house that boasts its own observatory with a telescope. But that being said, this is not the glitzy, glamourous, escapist story some readers might associate with the celebrity romance trope. While she may be a powerful star to the outside world, internally, Natalie is quiet, introspective, and perpetually haunted by a traumatic incident from her past. Her carefully insulated world is an extension of the emotional barriers she's built around her heart. Enter Taylor Vaughn, the sexy, competent bodyguard Natalie hires to pose as her girlfriend while providing extra security. On the surface, she's the perfect heroine to rescue the reclusive Natalie, all while their attraction sizzles to the point of combusting. But Taylor has vulnerabilities and self-doubts too, and the closer she gets to Natalie, the more she risks pushing past her own physical and emotional limitations. Cover Story has plenty of Hollywood excitement, including red carpet interviews and movie stunts. And there is no shortage of romance or heat between Natalie and Taylor, but what really gives the story impact is the poignant and authentic journeys of heart and mind that the characters take separately and together. The journeys are not straightforward, but ultimately, they highlight the power of healing, taking risks, and finding a person to feel safe with. If you enjoy sapphic stories with romance, steam, but also a healthy dose of angst and authenticity, you'll be captivated by Cover Story.
