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.

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 pepo. 90 days. We cannot get enough of this squash. We could eat it nearly every day all winter. A large Honey Boat type with extremely thick flesh and delicious rich flavor.

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.

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.

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.

Zinnia elegans. 65-75 days. Single color flowers with some variation in shades of dark red.
