Softneck Artichoke type Polish White garlic is the quintessential softneck garlic — an artichoke type that yields always large, and often giant, bulbs.

Cucurbita pepo. 75 days. This jack-o-lantern is often orange in mid-August from an early June transplanting! We never would have thought it possible without seeing it with our own eyes.

Cucurbita pepo. 80-90 days. We searched high and low for open pollinated pie pumpkins and were amazed at how few varieties we could get our hands on.
