Carrot
The uses of the carrot for food date to the 16th century when some better varieties were obtained from the wild form. Before that, going back to the Greeks and Romans, this species grew wild in scattered locations and was listed among the medicinal essences. At the present time the carrot is an important garden vegetable as shown by the continuously growing number of cultivars recently introduced.

Cabbage
Cabbages, in the broadest sense, have been cultivated since very early times. They are derived from a wild form native to central and western Europe, and western Asia. Today, because of selections started many centuries ago, the cultivated forms differ greatly, not only from the original type, but also from one another. Among many others, some varieties are black cabbage, red cabbage, oxheart cabbage, brussel sprouts, Savoy cabbage, white cabbage, kohlrabi, cauliflower and broccoli.

Onion sets
There are various ways of cultivating the onion. Onions may be grown from directly sown seed but from small sets (small bulbs) as well. Onion sets consist of the small onions (8-21 mm) grown from the first year of cultivation. One of the most popular varieties for growing from sets is the Stuttgarter. The seed thickly sown in summertime is harvested in autumn and again planted until spring off the following year. Thanks to this ‘lead in growth’, they possess a trait of earliness, both in planting as in harvesting; therefore they are a more than attractive proposition for those who buy and sell onions. They can be planted early and normally produce a quick and reliable harvest of big onions suitable for consumption.
