Pisum sativum. Latvian Grey Soup. 110 days. Large seeded, speckled brown Latvian soup pea. For those of us accustomed to green peas this unique grey variety is delightful. We were only aware of green soup peas until we traveled to Latvia in 2006 and discovered these. Then we learned that there are many varieties of…
Glycine max. Green. 75 days. A good choice for early and/or short-season edamame production. Unlike many soybeans, Envy starts the season very vigorously in our cool spring soil. Plants grow to 2′ with an upright growth habit. Delicious as edamame, the green seeds can also be cooked as a dry bean if harvested before they…
Spinacia oleracea. 45 days. Glossy, thick, heavily savoyed, succulent leaves can get large while still maintaining a good, sweet flavor. Very dark green leaves have an upright growth habit for ease of harvest either as baby leaf or when mature. A little slower growing than other spinach but the flavor makes up for it. Plants…
Spinacia oleracea. 50 days. The most reliable, proven spinach for winter production. Dark-green, slightly triangular, smooth leaves can get giant, the size of chard leaves. The sweet flavor is perfect for salad mix when baby size and for bunching when fully grown. Not particularly suited for summer production, Giant Winter has proven to be a…
Spinacia oleracea. 28 days baby, 48 full. An excellent deep green spinach for spring and fall production. Relatively heat tolerant, slow to bolt, with excellent flavor. Matador ranked as one of the best tasting in our spinach trials. Round leaves are good harvested small for salad mix, and for bunches once larger. While uncommon in…
Spinacia oleracea. 50 days. With good warm weather tolerance, this is the best spinach we have found for late spring / early summer sowings. While not as early as others, it resists bolting later than other varieties, providing a longer harvest window. Smooth, triangular, succulent dark green leaves have a pleasant, mild flavor that is…
Spinacia oleracea. 45 days. Giant winter type, perfect for spring, autumn and overwinter cultivation, but not summer. With a particularly aromatic flavor, its best suited use is raw, although it is also good cooked. We are always impressed with Verdil’s winter hardiness. The plants can stand in the freezing mud all winter and somehow not…
Urtica dioica. Perennial in zones 3-10. Stinging Nettle is an indispensable and delicious perennial plant native to many northern regions throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. Grows wild or cultivated in cool, shady, and damp areas in all but the coldest or hottest environments. Loved for its nutrient-rich leaves that are used fresh as cooked…
Pisum sativum. Green Sugar Snap. 80 days. One of our favorites for flavor and productivity. 6-8′ vines yield light-green, sweet pods with a purple stripe down the side when mature. Very sweet, just like a sugar snap should be and the pods just keep coming for weeks and weeks and weeks. We find the flavor…
Pisum sativum. Green Sugar Snap. 60-70 days. A semi-bush, green sugar snap pea that grows to 3′ tall. Mega benefits from a trellis but is short enough that it’s not necessary. Long, light-green pods are very sweet when extra plump. Juicy pods grow to 4” long and fill a basket faster than other, typically smaller,…
Pisum sativum. Purple Sugar Snap. 70 days. After more than 15 years of breeding work, Dr. Alan Kapuler developed the first purple-podded sugar snap pea. Beautiful purple pods and flowers. Good sweet flavor, although not quite as sweet as Magnolia Blossom. We find the flavor and texture to be best before the pods get really…
Pisum sativum. Green Sugar Snap. 60 days. A classic green sugar snap pea. Vines are a bit shorter than most of our other peas topping out at 5′ or so. Super tasty with a classic sweet crunch – we like to eat them when extra plump. Scored high for flavor and total marketable weight in…
Heat-tolerant greens that will add a refreshing kick to summer salads. Mix includes amaranth, purslane, Buck’s Horn plantain, chard, as well as summer lettuces, endives, and more. Unlike the Delicious Diversity Mesclun Mix, there are no Brassicas in this one. Due to different seed sizes and maturity dates, this mix is recommended for the home…
Zea mays. Sweet. 70-80 days. An early-mid season open pollinated, yellow sweet corn, with mixed sugar enhanced (SE) and normal sugary (SU) kernels. This combo gives Candy Mountain a rich flavor that is sweeter than “old timey” corn but not as sweet as most modern corn. The SE trait will keep this corn sweet for…
Zea mays. Sweet. 85 days. A superb addition to the list of cool, purple vegetables. Normal sugary (SU) kernels are sweet and richly flavored, but the real coup of Double Red is the ridiculously dark red color. The kernels are so red that they can turn your fingers purple when eating it. Certainly a culinary…
Zea mays. Super Sweet. 80-90 days. One of the first open pollinated super sweet (Sh2) corns! Medium-large ears have yellow, truly super sweet kernels, and hold their flavor once picked. Still a little variable in maturity and color with some pale yellow kernels, but we think this may be necessary to maintain vigor as corn…
Capsicum annuum. Green to Yellow-Orange. 75 days. Bright yellow-orange mini bell peppers grow to about 2″ across. The high yielding plants pump out sweet and tasty, fun-sized fruit. The size makes them very versatile – perfect for snacking or adding to salads, pickling whole, or stuffed as an appetizer. Plants have a small stature that make…
Capsicum annuum. Yellow to Red. 75 days. Richly flavored Hungarian sweet pepper that is great both fresh and cooked.

Capsicum annuum. Green to Orange. 80 days. Vivid orange bell pepper, produces loads of blocky, thick-walled fruit early and throughout the season. Almost candy sweet when fully ripe and the under-ripe fruit are also sweeter than most. Bell peppers can be a challenge to grow outdoors here, but Etiuda is a champ with a high…
Capsicum annuum. Green to Red. 50 days green, 85 red. Mild flavored sweet peppers originally from the Basque region of Spain. The 6″ long, ripe red fruit start to crinkle a little on the plant when mature. We first started growing Gernika when we were searching for an excellent drying pepper for sweet paprika, and…
Capsicum annuum. Lime Green to Red. 70 days. Wonderful, early sweet red pepper that is our effort at dehybridizing “a popular hybrid.” Elongated, tapered fruit are similar to Hungarian sweet peppers. Starts out a lime green color, ripens to red with good flavor at any stage. Now in its sixth season of selection, it is…
Capsicum annuum. 60 days green, 90 days red. Ise is similar in flavor and texture to the common Shishito pepper, but sweeter and larger fruited. Fruit are 3 ½” long by 1” wide and still small enough to prep in all of the classic Shishito ways, but the larger size makes for a quicker harvest….
Capsicum annuum. Green to Red. 80 days. Lesya is a totally unique sweet pepper from Ukraine that caught our eye due to its cool, conical, almost heart-like shape. Fruit have 3”-4” wide rounded shoulders that taper to a point at the blossom end. The heart shape is a bit variable but is really apparent when…
Capsicum annuum. Green to Red. 70 days. Red ruffled pepper with sweet thick flesh. Very early and also productive late into the season. Deeply lobed, flattened sheepnose/cheese type pimento. Fruit develop fewer blemishes during ripening compared to bell-shaped peppers. The German translation of Liebesapfel can be either ‘love apple’ or ‘candy apple.’ Either one certainly…
Capsicum annuum. Green to Red. 80 days. Peace Bell is a big red bell pepper with that classic blocky bell shape and sweet, tasty fruit. We have been looking for a red bell pepper to add to our offerings for a very long time, but found that most open-pollinated varieties were too late maturing, with…
Capsicum annuum. Green to Red. 70 days. Excellent early maturing dark red sweet pepper that is definitely one of our favorites. Pointy Kaibi #1 is not overly sweet for fresh eating, instead having an incredible aroma which makes it excellent for sweet paprika. Not only will this variety fill the house with an unbearably delicious…
Capsicum annuum. Green to Red. 75 days. A rare medium-large, elongated and blocky, red Italian frying type pepper. Reputed to be one of the sweetest peppers around. Scored a high rating in the Northern Organic Variety Improvement Collaborative (NOVIC) trials for early maturity and flavor. Fruit are a little bit later and more stout than…
Capsicum annuum. Green to Red. 80 days. We’re on the Stocky Red Roaster bandwagon! We grew this red, Italian type pepper for market and loved it for its sweet flavor raw, roasted, or cooked, as well as its productivity and size (4-6″ long, 2″ wide at shoulders). It turns out we weren’t alone, as Stocky…
