I have been growing tomatoes in the greenhouse for many years now. I switched to grafted plants after my house “hit the wall.” After four successful years of growing glorious plants laden with fruit, my un-grafted plants topped out at three feet. Fortunately, I had gotten some grafted plants from a friend. Their production was off the hook, and saved...
I am a man with steak and champagne desires but endure a potato and Pabst Blue Ribbon reality. I was lying around my house one morning desperately in need of a breakfast steak and only had a sack of HMS grown All Blue potatoes. My imagination took hold. I love the All Blue potato. When cut open the vibrant deep...
Sometimes I feel like the luckiest farmer around. As Trials Manager at High Mowing Organic Seeds, my job affords me the satisfaction of not only farming vegetables and flower and herbs, but also cultivating information. In fact, harvesting data is the reason for all that we do on our 5 acre Trials Farm. (Read about what we do with all...
February surprises me each year with feelings of doubt. As the days grow longer and the boxes of seeds are unpacked and organized for the seeding marathon that lies ahead, I feel a tremor inside of me. Really? I think, as I stare at all of the seeds. Will these really turn into enough food for hundreds of people? I...

Of course, so can the heat in July. Now is a time to breathe deeply and think clearly about what lies ahead. We find it prudent to keep...

She just returned from Myanmar, and reflects on her experience. “Watermelon,” our trekking guide, Win, said as he pointed at the...
A few summers ago I tried my hand at growing dry beans. My husband and I sowed Black Turtle, cannellini, and Kenearly Yellow Eye beans, and despite the weeds that ended up taking over our neglected plot, come September, we harvested bushels and bushels of beans. Our plan had been to sell them at winter markets, but our winter work...
Just like you, we are all getting excited about the upcoming season here at High Mowing. We have all spent the past few months making mental notes about the varieties that we love and want to try. Just about everyone here gardens or farms in the summer. Our staff is comprised of growers with their own farms, a handful that...
A hybrid variety, Red Ace F1 Beets Last week Tom introduced a discussion detailing characteristics of hybrid seeds. As we all consider varieties for the coming season, it is common to wonder about the difference between hybrid and open-pollinated varieties when choosing varieties that are right for you. First, let’s make sure we’re all speaking the same language. Open-pollinated varieties...
Hybrid seeds have played a diverse role in agriculture for a long time. New varieties are made by the accidental or planned crossing (the making of a hybrid) of two different varieties of the same type of plant. Plants all do this on their own, all of the time, every day in everyone's garden and on everyone's farm. Wild plants...
