The Salad Garden Bundle
From seed to salad in under two months.
Eight heirloom varieties. One forgiving first garden.
30-day satisfaction guarantee. Refund, replacement, or store credit. Your call.
The Reason Most Beginner Gardens Fail
Most beginner gardens fail because the gardener picked the wrong plants for the wrong season.
The Salad Garden is eight varieties chosen for the opposite reason – they are nearly impossible to fail at if you have a sunny spot and a packet of seeds.
Three weeks to your first radishes. Four to six weeks to a homegrown salad on the table.
That's the promise.
Why These 8 Seeds?
-
Buttercrunch Lettuce
The most forgiving lettuce there is. Tender heads, sweet buttery flavor. Doesn't turn bitter even if you forget to water for a day.
-
Black Seeded Simpson
Loose-leaf classic, ready in 28 days. Cut the outer leaves and the plant keeps producing for weeks.
-
Spacemaster Cucumber
Compact vines for small spaces. Crisp, mild cucumbers – one plant can feed daily salads all summer.
-
Tokyo Long White Onion
Scallions that never quit. Cut the green tops, the white base keeps growing. Harvest from one plant for months.
-
Matt's Wild Cherry Tomato
Disease-resistant, prolific, beginner-friendly. The wild ancestor of cherry tomatoes – small, sweet, forgiving.
-
Bloomsdale Spinach
Slow to bolt, so it stays useful as the weather warms. Tender, mild leaves. An heirloom standard since the 1820s.
-
Astro Arugula
Peppery, mature in 21 days – the fastest brassica in the garden. Young for mild, mature for sharp bite.
-
Cherry Belle Radish
Three weeks from seed to dinner. Crisp, mild, perfect raw, roasted, or pickled. The fastest crop in the garden.
The 0% Failure Guide
Most gardening guides assume you already know what "open-pollinated" means. Or what "bolt" is. Or why "F1 hybrid" matters.
We do not.
Every piece of teaching that comes with this bundle is written for the person who has never planted a thing. When we use a word that gardeners use but everyday people might not, we explain it. Plainly.
You will not need a translator. You will not need to Google "USDA hardiness zone" mid-sentence.
The handbook that ships with every seed bundle covers:
- A full plant profile for each of the 8 varieties – when to sow, how deep, how often to water, when to harvest, what could go wrong
- A no-jargon glossary explaining every gardening term in plain English (bolt, hardiness zone, cultivar, open-pollinated, all of it)
- Troubleshooting for the most common beginner failures – "they came up and then died," "nothing sprouted," "they bolted before I could harvest"
- A sowing calendar so you know exactly when to plant for your part of the country
- The basics of seed-saving so next year's garden costs you nothing
Plus: We read every email personally. If you get stuck, hit reply on any Herbly message. You get an actual person who can help, not a chatbot.

Questions?
When can I plant these seeds?
Most of the salad garden varieties are cool-weather crops – plant them in spring or fall in most US zones. Cherry Belle radishes can go in as early as 4 weeks before your last spring frost. Spinach and lettuce love cool weather and bolt in summer heat. Tomato and cucumber need warm weather – plant after last frost. The Herbly handbook walks you through timing for your specific zone.
Do I need special equipment to grow these?
No. You need soil (raised bed, garden bed, or pots), sun (4-6 hours minimum), water, and seeds. That is it. Most beginner gardeners overspend on equipment before they have grown anything. Start with the seeds and a watering can.
How long until I can harvest?
Depends on the variety. Radishes are ready in 22-30 days – the fastest. Arugula and Black Seeded Simpson lettuce in 28 days. Cherry tomatoes take 65-75 days from transplant. The full timing is in the handbook and on the digital quick-reference cards (easy to pull up on your phone while you're in the garden).
What if I have never gardened before?
This bundle is built specifically for first-time gardeners. The varieties tolerate beginner mistakes. The handbook teaches you why each plant behaves the way it does. Pick one variety and start there – do not feel like you have to plant everything at once.
Do I get instructions with the seeds?
Yes. Every seed bundle includes:
- The Herbly digital handbook – deep teaching on every variety, troubleshooting, and a sowing calendar for your zone.
- Per-variety digital quick-reference cards – at-a-glance info to pull up on your phone while you are in the garden.
Our gift bundle also ships with the printed handbook for the kitchen-counter reference experience.
What about shipping and returns?
Free shipping over $45. Standard ship time is 3-5 business days. Every bundle is packed by hand from our small Florida garden.
If your bundle does not meet expectations for any reason, we will make it right – replacement, refund, or store credit, your call. Just reply to your order confirmation email within 30 days. No need to mail anything back.
