Cucurbita maxima. 90 days. Japanese Kabocha type, blue-grey squash with a flattened globe shape. Sweet with the characteristic dry flesh of a Kabocha or Hokkaido. If stored for a few months, it will become a little more moist. Great rich flavor, but different than Sweet Meat, which is also C. maxima with a similar color…
Cucurbita moschata. 90 days. As market growers, we knew that winter squash storability and flavor improve with ripeness, so we were always on the lookout for an early butternut variety that matured well here in Oregon. Some hybrids come close, but most OPs require a longer growing season than we can provide. In 2005, we…
Cucurbita moschata. 90 days. Another great butternut-type squash that matures in our climate! Canada Crookneck is a bottle shaped “neck squash” that the present-day butternut type was selected from. Very productive and holds well in storage when properly cured. Average size is 3 ½ lbs, though a few reach 6 lbs. Not all necks are…
Cucurbita pepo. 85 days. Small, orange, acorn-type fruit are an ideal size for single-serving winter squash. This variety shuns the stereotype of acorn squash being bland. Five times more flavorful than most acorn squash, but about half the size. We often get good feedback from commercial growers about Gill’s Golden Pippin’s productivity and flavor. We…
Cucurbita pepo. 90 days. Very sweet and reliable winter squash. Unlike its sister variety, Sugar Loaf, Honey Boat is long and less plump, similar to a regular delicata but with copper skin. Certainly among the sweetest winter squash we have ever grown, and sweetness holds well into storage. Larger seed cavity makes this squash ideal…
Lower Salmon River squash is on the short list of heritage Pacific Northwest winter squash varieties. Grown in and around Idaho’s Lower Salmon River, possibly for generations, it is uniquely adapted to our bioregion. Deep orange sweet flesh is flakier and drier than Sweet Meat.
Cucurbita maxima. 105 days. Incredibly dense, striking grey-blue winter squash ranging 10-20 lbs. Vigorous vines grow to 30 ft. A bit on the late maturing side, but worth the wait. Drier flesh is the perfect consistency for adding to baked goods, raviolis, gnocchi, or any recipe that calls for a thick, less watery puree –…
Cucurbita moschata. 100 days. With orange skin occasionally marbled with green, and exceptionally dark orange flesh, this is one unique and beautiful butternut. Sonca Orange Butternut is by far sweeter and smoother than any other butternut we have ever eaten. Our experience is corroborated by Jo’s son, Cole, who thinks it is utterly delicious, and…
Cucurbita pepo. 100 days. A slight variation on the classic delicata, Sugar Loaf is a sister variety to Honey Boat with a similar tan color and green stripes but with a shorter, blockier (some might even say loaf) shape.

Achillea millefolium. Perennial. Sometimes our penchant for seed saving goes a little too far – such is the case with Danish Yarrow. We saved seed from a bunch of plants growing along the roadside while out exploring the ruins of a 14th century castle about 12 miles from Aarhus, Denmark, during the first days of…
Achillea filipendulina. Perennial in zones 3-10. A striking ornamental. Gold flowers make excellent cut flowers and are even better dried as everlastings. The upright growth makes for easy cutting and the flowers last all summer. What we love most about Parker’s Gold is the captivating aromatic leaves that look like ferns but smell like the…
Hardneck unique type / unclassified Named after a fictional planet, Yuggoth Garlic is a strange and special beast. It may appear from a distance that the bright white bulbs with occasional purple striping is just your average garlic. It is anything but. The distinctive, perfectly round shape hides purple-skinned cloves that fit together like a…

Zinnia elegans. 60-70 days. A gorgeous mix of berry-toned zinnias, including raspberry, strawberry (and strawberry ice cream), marionberry, and grape (concorde, merlot, and rosé). Perhaps we can pretend that grapes are berries, and that rosé is a grape variety just this once. If you like a full spectrum of pink, this is the mix for…
Zinnia elegans. 65-75 days. Softly romantic shades of coral-peachy goodness. El Dorado Zinnia’s double blossoms last for days and seem to glow in the orange light of sunset.

Zinnia elegans. 70-80 days. With its lime green highlights and soft overtones, the Queeny Lime series (aka, Queen Lime) took the cut flower market by storm when it was first introduced in the late 2010’s. Queeny Lime Orange received both All America Selection and Fleuroselect awards in 2018, and Queeny Lemon Peach won an AAS…
Zinnia elegans. 65-75 days. Single color flowers with some variation in shades of dark red. The color of Super Yoga Red Zinnia reminds us of a classic red rose; thankfully zinnias are much easier to grow! We were tempted to rename this variety something like “Red Wine Shades” or “Yoga and Wine” because of the…
Cucurbita pepo. Light Green. 55 days. A lovely variety of zucchini from Italy. Fruit is light green with no ribbing and tends to bulb out a bit on the end. As with most Italian varieties, there is some variation in fruit appearance but the flavor is consistently delicious. We especially love the fact that the…
