Blue Grey Speckled Tepary Bean (+–) - Phaseolus acutifolius v - 25 seeds/pack | 80 days | Heirloom - We have been growing tepary beans for many years and this new variety has come with high recommendations from several sources. The dry beans are a tapestry of tan/grey with blue speckles. We direct seed them three rows to a bed with seeds planted closely together. Soon they form a dense thicket of bean plants. No need to trellis. Allow the pods to dry on the plants and then using clippers cut the entire plants onto sheets. Roll your sheet up like a taco and do the bean stomp to free the seeds (See photo). Further winnowing with a fan will remove the chaff. These are very drought tolerant beans from the southwest that have a rich nutty flavor. -

Supai Red Parch Corn (+–) - Zea mays - 50 seeds/pack | 110 days | Heirloom - The idea of parching corn has intrigued us for years. Think corn nuts. The basic idea is to remove the dried kernels from the cobs and heat them gently on a dry to lightly oiled skillet. Cast iron works great. Within about 5 minutes the kernels swell and become soft and chewy. Add spices or salt and you have a fantastic snack. - Many flour corns will work for parching but this variety is especially good for it. It was re-selected from older native strains by seed breeders Alan Kapular and Carol Deppe. The star burst red and white patterning is stunning and the 6-7 ft plants produced well.

Extend your season with row cover or the greenhouse. - We made a delicious fermented hot sauce with this by blending the fruits, including the stems, with a few cloves of garlic, salt, a bit of honey and a dab of yogurt. Blend well and put in a canning jar. Leave to ferment at room temp for 3-5 days, burping the container several times a day to let gases escape. Refrigerate and enjoy! - -

Also, melatonin has been found in the plant, which suggests it may lower risk of diseases associated with stress, including neurodegenerative diseases. The challenge is to grow enough of them.

Brad's Atomic Grape tomato (+–) - Lycopersicon esculentum - 25 seeds/pack | 75-80 days - The name Atomic Grape paired with the florescent purple striped fruit seduced me.

Lavender and purple striped when immature, turning to green, red / brown with anthocycnin blue stripes when fully ripe. The interior is green with a blushed red when extra ripe.

The wispy foliage but produces a lot of fruit." - You can read about Wild Boar farms here https://wildboarfarms.com/about/ - Here at Redwood Seeds we grew a seed lot of this variety on farm in 2018.

When you experience the unique spicy sweetness associated with green tomatoes for the first time, it's easy to become addicted.”
