2012 Heirloom National Pickling Cucumber

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 04:11:17 +0100

Open-pollinated. In 1924, aiming to create a variety suitable for both small pickles and dills, the National Pickle Packers Association began a collaboration with the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station that resulted in National’s 1929 introduction. Not quite as early as Northern Pickler, but tending to hold quality over a longer season, the firm black-spined dark green fruits are usually quite sweet, rarely bitter. Plants are vigorous dependable producers. A highly developed pickling strain that bears heavy over a long season. Disease resistances: Scab, Cucumber Mosaic Virus SEEDS ARE $1 A PACKET.

2012 Heirloom Painted Serpent Cucumber

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:55:38 +0100

Open-pollinated. Cucumis melo var. flexuosus Bite into the snake that doesn’t bite back. Also known as Armenian Cucumber or Snake Melon, native to Armenia and brought to Italy in the fifteenth century. This is one of the oldest of our heirlooms, yet one of the most neglected by our gardeners. Slender slightly fuzzy flexuous fruits delicately coil like a serpent with alternate light and dark green stripes. Culture like the melon it is, starting indoors in individual pots and transplanting into a low tunnel. Will grow up to 30" but best eaten at 8–18". Straighter if trellised. SEEDS ARE $1 A PACKET.

Strains of green swiss chard have been around since around 1750. An easy winner for appearance and flavor. Broad white stems and midribs with deep green savoyed leaves. Large plants reach 24-28” and are very upright in architecture. High yield potential makes this variety a successful addition to every gardener’s list. SEEDS ARE $1 A PACKET.

2012 Heirloom Perpetual Spinach or Leaf Beet

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:40:36 +0100

Open pollinated. Leaf beet should be cultured like any other chard variety. It looks similar to other Swiss chards, but its stems are thinner, and its exceptionally tender leaves are smoother, not puckered. It tastes unlike any other chard, imparting a spinach-like flavor that lingers pleasantly. Unlike spinach, Perpetual lasts through summer into fall as it withstands light and moderate frosts. Production from June to October. SEEDS ARE $1 A PACKET.

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:26:54 +0100

Open-pollinated. Selected for earliness from Crosby’s Egyptian and introduced in 1911.

Early wonder tops are fast growing, sweet, flavorful and grow upwards of 18"s. Has three inch roots which are smooth, half-flat, bright red and grow to about 3" in diameter.

2012 Heirloom Ground Cherry / Cape Gooseberry / Husk Tomato

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:21:33 +0100

Physalis pruinosa. Open-pollinated. A treat inside every paper wrapper! Same genus as Chinese Lantern and tomatillo, bearing fruits that ripen inside their protective husks. As clusters of berries sweeten, they turn from green to golden yellow, drop off the decorative branching plants, and reach perfection as their husks thin to a near-gossamer papery consistency. The berries have an indescribable nutty flavor that is great for raw snacks. Don’t eat them green––they can be a powerful emetic. Need filtered light and temperatures at least 75°, preferably closer to 90°, to germinate. Cover the seeds with just a light sprinkling of soil and place the flats in the hottest part of the greenhouse, transplanting after last spring frost. Husk cherries will tolerate a touch of frost but give up when temperatures dip below 30°. In a good year, about half will ripen in time. Will readily self sow, although volunteers never mature as quickly as those started indoors. SEEDS ARE $1 A PACKET.

2012 Heirloom Golden Acre Cabbage

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:19:48 +0100

The best choice for those preferring an early open-pollinated cabbage that’s not a pointy-headed intellectual from Jersey. A selection of the Copenhagen Market type billed as “new…the earliest of the round-headed cabbages” in the 1928 Jerome B. Rice catalog. Heads average 3–5 lb. Short stems with sparse wrapper leaves and medium-sized core keep it compact. Not long standing. SEEDS ARE $1 A PACKET.
