Cucumis sativus

30 seeds/pack  | 65-70 days  | Heirloom

This favorite is round with yellow skin, hence its namesake. With non-bitter skin, the flesh is crunchy and slightly sweet. Good enough to eat like an apple directly from the garden or slice for salads. The vines can be trellised or allowed to sprawl. Look for new fruits frequently as they often hide under leaves and it's not uncommon to find old fat ones that have escaped notice.

Capsicum annuum

This is a long time farm favorite pepper for us. We first grew it over 10 years ago a seed contract for Fedco seeds and have kept it going. These squat little sweet peppers have thick flesh and much sweetness. The plants keep producing right up until the frost and are great to eat raw, stir-fried and roasted. I usually freeze a few gallons of these during seed harvest and we eat them all winter as well.

This determinate paste tomato is a highly productive Italian heirloom. Fruits are large to 5 inches, very meaty with few seeds. Good flavor. Compact tomato bushes could be planted in containers for patio gardeners. For canning a determinate tomato can be a blessing since all the fruits are ready at nearly the same time. This allows the avid canner to preserve large batches all at once.

This farm-favorite tomato is a fantastic all-around kitchen variety. We love it sliced for salads and sandwiches. An heirloom from the Ukraine, it is large and dark red and very prolific. It is the deep sweet tomato flavor that really clinches the deal though. Especially sun warmed from the vine! Indeterminate.

These beans grow up to 8 inches and are green with purple streaks. We find them to be delicious raw or lightly steamed; they are always a best-seller at farmer’s markets. The vines will grow to 10 feet with a sturdy trellis. The name comes from the mottled markings on the tan and brown seeds

Capsicum annuum

30 seeds/pack    |   75-90 days   |    Heirloom

The name of this Italian heirloom means ‘bull’s horn’. With a twisted shape, these peppers certainly do resemble their namesake. The claims of 10 inch sweet and crisp fruits were true. We found this variety to be perfect for grilling, stuffing and dicing. As the summer came to an end these peppers really amped up their production. From September to the end of October we harvested a giant bounty of these great peppers.
