Seedlings!!

 

HOLY HELLS BELLS, it's not often than we can be "competitive" with "big box" places, or even local nurseries. But, I'm shocked at the prices out there. Seven bucks for a little 4" veggie pot, and not even anything unique about it??

So, ...COOL...! FOR ONCE i can actually stay competitive!

 

Repurposing paper coffee cups helps, please keep bringing them by, and then we can keep it that way. 

 

My focus is on finding proven varieties best suited for our growing climates. Homesteaders have the responsibility of remaining zombie apocalypse ready, so open pollinated is also high on my list. But the biggest factor has to be whether it brings joy to my soul, and that means taste AND beauty.    

Tomatoes - SO MANY TOMATOES! Taking a while to leaf out, but these have been growing since the first week of March, helping extend our PNW tomato season.

 

Varieties include some seriously awesome flavor punches. I personally recommend the ... umm... Ok, all of them! I didn't spend time and money on ones I wouldn't recommend! Now, I just need more garden space... 😜

 

Cherry Varieties:

Black Cherry - as complex as red wine, and well worth the wait.

Indigo(tm) Cherry Drops - Never makes it from the garden into my kitchen. Striping morphs from greens to reds, then finally purples, when the complexity is at its peak, like a ripeness barometer!

 

Slicers:

Stupice - Early producer for the PNW. Keeps producing and producing even in the cold.

Glacier - Early producer for the PNW! Shorter, bushier, and faster. Big production value.

Indigo(tm) Rose - beyond mouthwatering, umami flavor, no salt requierd! And beautiful, mottled striping on a smooth body!

Black Krim - Sweet, complex, maybe even smoky slicer. Beautiful purples and a mostly smooth body.

 

Slicer/Saucers:

Pozzano - the royal San Marzano, but stronger plants with more fruit!

Striped Roman - sweet, fruity undertones and gorgeousbeautiful striped colors.

Jersey Devil - flavorful, beyond unique, & people WILL talk... You'll see why. Tastes like a tomato, but identifies as a pepper!

Nova - early roma type. Meaty and determinate so you get a big crop, perect for processing. 

VEGGIES - Sorry all, somehow I lost everything I wrote..

Poppies, breadseed

Cannas

Websites take too much TIME, and I can hear baby chicks screaming for food and attention... so my time has run OUT
