The Secret Garden: Our Web Exclusive Varieties
Looking for a variety you ordered last year, but don't see it in the catalog this year? You've come to the right place! Each year some varieties don't make the cut in our catalog - we may have decided to add a variety too late to be printed in the catalog; there may have been a crop failure and no more seed is available; there may be a newer, better variety available that replaced it; or it could just be that it didn't sell as well as we'd like. Whatever the reason (and it's not always bad!), you can find a treasure trove of old, new and rare varieties in the Web Only section on our website. Here are some highlights of our Web Exclusive varieties that you won't find on paper...
NEW! Bush Delicata Squash
OP • PM-tolerant • Bush habit • 1.5-2lbs
Compact, tidy plants with sweet, oblong fruits. Delicious smooth, nutty flesh with hints of butter and brown sugar. Skin starts creamy white with green stripes and flecks, curing to striped light yellow. Compact plants spread only 4-6 feet. AAS winner bred by Molly Jahn and George Moriarty at Cornell University.
Silverado Chard
OP • Slow to bolt • Baby or full size
Glossy leaves are bright green and beautiful at full size or at baby leaf. More savoyed than Fordhook, with a narrower stem. Extremely slow to bolt and has shown field resistance to Cercospora leaf spot, allowing for a long harvest window.
Ocate Lettuce
OP • Slow to bolt • Resists Tipburn • DM (1-21, 23-26, 28), LMV
Lovely pale green oak leaf lettuce with strong disease resistance. Ocate’s attractive, compact shape compares favorably to Panisse. Very pretty heads of loosely lobed, buttery leaves are slow to bolt and not susceptible to tipburn.
NEW! YellowFin F1 Zucchini
HYBRID • Compact habit • Uniform • PM, CMV
The first organic yellow zucchini with PM resistance! Uniform, cylindrical fruits with pure gold color provide great color and buttery flavor at market. Compact, nearly spineless plants have an open habit for ease of harvest. Strong resistance to Powdery Mildew and intermediate resistance to Cucumber Mosaic Virus for a reliable harvest even in challenging field conditions.
Magenta Spreen
OP • Versatile micro or salad green • Re-seeds easily
A beauty in the field with sparkly green leaves and a pink powdered center. Known not only for its densely packed nutritional value but also for its ability to color the lips pink. Use steamed like spinach, or for an addition to salad mixes like amaranth and orach, or as a micro-green. Mild flavor is nutty and fresh. Take caution - plants reseed easily and can become weedy.
Falcon F1 Eggplant
HYBRID • Uniform and productive • 6.5” fruit
A hybrid Italian eggplant for organic growers! Compact plants set fruit early and continue setting throughout the season, resulting in higher yields. Fruits are deep purple with glossy sheen and moderately sized bright-green calyx. Great variety for field crops or high tunnels.
Annelise F1 Hybrid Tomato
HYBRID • Truss-type • 2 oz • TMV, LM (1-5), VW, FW (0,1), FCR
Perfect trusses of bright red, cocktail-sized fruit. Annelise has excellent disease resistance and is widely adapted to growing in a heated greenhouse, high tunnel or open field. The earliest maturing variety in our 2012 tomato high tunnel trials, with cascading trusses of 2 oz fruits. This is a classic truss type with 10-12 fruit on a truss. Fruit measures 2-2.5” in diameter and holds well to allow for ripening of the entire truss. Indeterminate
Golden Chard
HEIRLOOM • Improved
Emerald green leaves against deeply golden stalks make a striking combination. Leaves are savoyed with moderately thick stems. This strain was rescued by the Abundant Life Seed Foundation and has been improved for color and vigor by seed producer and breeder Frank Morton.
