Unless specifically marked “hybrid” these plants are HEIRLOOM / OPEN POLLINATED
PEPPERS - $4
* 'Jimmy Nardello’ [SOLD OUT]
* 'Lesya'
heart-shaped sweet red pepper for salads or to dry for paprika
* 'Baron' Poblano (hybrid)
Rich earthy flavor is the hallmark of this mild pepper – try them roasted, stuffed, or as an interesting substitute for bell peppers. I'm trying the ‘Baron’ this year to grow larger, studier, blocky poblanos, easier to stuff.
* 'Etiuda'
This one’s touted as an orange salad pepper that produces better in our area than standard bell peppers. Fingers crossed!
* banana
much-loved tangy pepper for snacking, stuffing, pickling, pizzas, salads, & more
TOMATOES (seedlings) – Very small this year (late start!), so $1, instead of the usual $4. Just get 'em in your garden & they'll grow.
* Caribe & New Yorker
Consistent, medium, round, red tomatoes. These two are determinate plants. They’ll stop getting taller & produce all their fruit over a short period, perfect for canning, freezing, etc. New Yorker is known for coming on very early in the season, Caribe mid-season & good at standing up to the heat!
* Sweetie
the open-pollinated version of Super Sweet 100
* Sungold (hybrid)
delicious orange cherry, one of the few hybrids I'll bother growing
* Principe Borghese
Italian variety great for oven drying – I dry several trayfuls each year & we enjoy them throughout the winter.
* Large Red/Gold Bicolor
I'm not sure if this is 'Pineapple' or 'Big Rainbow' - they're so similar - but we grew this "surprise" last year [when I rec’d mislabeled seed] & they were gorgeous & delicious!
FREE TOMATOES
The following tomatoes are too tiny for me to sell at this time. (This might change & I’ll update.) If you’re buying something else & you’d like to try any of these for free, please do. Some are only 2” high with just a few true leaves. They’re fine, just behind schedule.
* Chocolate Cherry
dusky cherry with rich flavor – one of our favorites each year
* Super Sweet 100 (hybrid)
prolific red cherry hybrid, disease-resistant
* Homestead
semi-determinate, drought-tolerant, mid-size, smooth, round red slicer
* Mandurang Moon Dwarf
pale yellow cherries, mild flavor, on sturdy dwarf potato-leaf plants (great in containers or small spaces)
* Hillbilly
I’m told by the person who gave me seeds that it’s their favorite: a tasty, enormous orange tomato streaked with red. Can be potato-leaf or regular-leaf.
EGGPLANT - $2
* 'Kurume Long'
shiny, purple-black fruits 9-10 inches long with mild flavor on vigorous upright plants
* ‘Orient Express' (hybrid)
slender dark purple Japanese eggplant – can handle cold weather & heat stress unlike most eggplant – produces early fruits with delicate sweet flavor
* 'Poamoho Dark Long' [ONLY ONE LEFT]
long dark fruit with thin skin & tender flesh – sturdy plants show bacterial wilt resistance
CUCURBITS
* 'Muncher' Cucumber - $4
new to me this year, said to produce a steady harvest of thin-skinned, seedless cukes over a long season
* 'Minnesota Midget' Cantaloupe - $2 [ONLY ONE LEFT]
mini fruits (4-6”) on more compact vines, ripening earlier than standard cantaloupe
* 'Hearts of Gold' Cantaloupe - $2
a classic, sweet, mid-sized fruit – leave fewer on the vine & they'll grow even bigger
* All squash - $3
- 'Blue Hubbard'
winter squash with a creamy, sweet, nutty flavor
- 'Fort Knox' [ONLY ONE LEFT]
summer/yellow squash, creamy flavor, great yield on disease-resistant, compact plants
- 'Black Beauty' zucchini
summer/green squash, this dark green bush-type zucchini can even be grown in pots
- Tromboncino [SOLD OUT]
HERBS
* Dill 'Bouquet' [SOLD OUT]
* Dill 'Hera' – heirloom / open pollinated - $3
While I’ve always loved ‘Bouquet’ as a reliable standard dill, this year I had the chance to try ‘Hera’ too. It’s supposed to be slower to bolt & produce more ferny foliage.
* Parsley ‘Giant of Italy’ - $3
dark green flat leaves on strong, upright stems - the perfect culinary parsley
* Nasturtiums [SOLD OUT]
* Calendula new seedlings - $1
Reminiscent of Gerbera daisies but keep blooming through to frost. Edible & medicinal uses. Most of my plants are the fresh golden-orange Alpha, (but there might be the occasional Pacific Cream mixed in).
* 'Tangerine Gem' marigold new seedlings - $1
an abundance of single golden-orange flowers over fine-cut foliage all on full, globe-shaped plants - & petals are edible!
* Basil ‘Elidia’ new seedlings - $1
Genovese basil for eating fresh, drying, or making classic pesto
* Borage new seedlings - $1
clumping plants covered in lovely blue star flowers that attract pollinators, & are also edible!
* Basil ‘Amethyst Improved’ new seedlings- $1
Italian purple - classic basil flavor, great in flower arrangements too
* Mother-of-Thyme $3
Use as a culinary herb, a semi-evergreen groundcover, an edger at walkways…this lovely little plant does it all!
PERENNIAL FLOWERS – very limited
* Coreopsis verticillata 'Zagreb' [SOLD OUT]
* Phlox paniculata TALL GARDEN PHLOX - 6-inch pots $4 4-inch pots $3
large clusters of pink & white flowers with a delicious scent bloom in summer – native perennial, pollinator plant
ORNAMENTAL ANNUALS
* Coleus burgundy & lime $2
This upright coleus in a striking color combo does best in afternoon shade or all-day filtered shade.
* Cosmos ‘Afternoon White’ seedlings - $1
They bounce in the breeze on top of long, wiry stems & make a great cut flower too.
