Spring Spinach
Improved variety from Johnnys Seeds bred for heavy leaf production in spring, and bolt tolerance in heat. Delicious leaves are high in iron and calcium. Space at 4"x12" apart.
Bok Choi
A quick growing choi, maturing in 3-4 weeks from transplant. With thick juicy crunchy stems and tender sweet leaves, choi is excellent on the grill, in slaws, salads, and stir fries.
Brandywine Heirloom
We describe Brandywine's luscious flavor as "very rich, loud, and distinctively spicy." The large fruits, often over 1 lb., have a deep pink skin and smooth red flesh. The medium-tall, potato-leaf plant is best staked or caged. This "Quisenberry" strain is considered among the best. Indeterminate. 78 days.
Black Cherry
Also know as 'Chocolate Cherry'. Rich chocolate - plummy fruit flavors in fat round purple fruits. 64 days from transplant.
Sunberry
The Blueberry Tomato bred by Luther Burbank in early 1900s. Like all tomatoes, Sunberry is a heavy feeder. We have grown these into 5 tall bushes, but will require heavy compost at transplant and regular fertilizing with a fish/kelp emulsion every 2-4 weeks. Prolific bushy plants bear loads of cluster of small blue-berry like tangy sweet blue fruits.
Jalapeo
Heavy yields of 3- 4 long, smooth Jalapeos with no checking. 67 days green, 90 days red ripe.
Zucchini

Much more reliable and productive than our old favorite Costata Romanesco, which it replaces. 38 days from transplant.
Marketmore Cucumber
Long, slender, dark green cucumbers. The refined "Marketmore look" has long been the standard for slicing cucumbers in the North. 8-9" fruits stay uniformly dark green even under weather stress. 29 days from transplant.
Lemon Cucumber
This versatile cucumber is sweet and flavorful. Extra fun for kids and adults alike, looking for these cukes is easy because of their bright colors! Though it's often served raw in lunchbox snacks or salads, it's also a good pickling cucumber.
'Bouquet Mix' Basil: Thai, Purple, Lemon, Lime, Cinnamon, and Genovese
Exotic mixture of fragrant culinary basils. Wonderful mix to attract butterflies and pollinators to your garden, as well as to use in stirfries. Mary Ellen's favorite mix to dry for a calming wintertime tea (basil is in the mint family).
Cilantro
Beautiful organic cultivar produces big leafy plants. pick off any flower buds to prolong leaf production.
Greek Oregano
Don't let these little leaves fool you, this Greek oregano is spicier and richer in flavor than classic Italian oregano! With a heady oregano aroma, it's a treat for pizza and Mediterranean cooking.
Oregano
Classic Italian oregano grows 12" tall bushy mounded plants. Easy to dry your own for use all year: clip plants down to 2" above ground in summer or fall, and spread trimmings on newspaper or screens indoors. Store in paper bags.
Coleus
Bright tie-dyed colorful foliage plants are ideal for containers, borders, and boxes. Vigorous grower with heart shaped leaves. 12-18" tall.
'Trailing' Nasturtium
Brilliant blossoms contrast with abundant green foliage. Flowers in red, rose, orange, and yellow. Perfect for hanging baskets and containers, or even as a ground cover. Will "climb" if tied to upright supports. Ht. 96-120". Leaves and flowers add color and a spicy kick to salads and desserts.
