Its time to select Seeds for 2015 we are looking carefully at the disease resistance that each variety has, the reason for this is our work with the UOM Extension last season and some variety's that were poor producers. We will be planting many of the same variety's so we can compare their performance. I have included Pictures and details from the seed suppliers. I have also found out why my Seedless Watermelons did not produce it turns out one must plant a pollinator male plant,so we will give them another chance. A fewer of you wanted the Hot Ghost pepper, Habanero & Thai Hot Pepper so we will try and purchase a few of them this year but when they are ready i will send out a email and you will need to request some in your weekly box, because they are extremely hot 1,000,000 Scoville units Ghost Pepper, Habanero 300,000SU and Thai Hot 80,000SU. we will not put them in every box. The seeds are not always available so it is possible the supplier may run out but we will order and see what happens. You will receive Jalapeno, & chille Pepper 1000-6000SU as you did before.![]() Sakura (F1) (OG)Early, delicious, attractive cherry tomatoes.Real sweet tomato flavor and firmness without being hard.
