Vegetables

Certified Organically Grown Vegetables We love the flavor of the heirlooms, however, we have made room for newer disease resistant varieties. Our emphasis will always be on Organic and Heirloom Seeds, but we will continue to rogue the poor performers regardless of their heritage. If vegetable prices continue to escalate, our currency just might convert to watermelon and pepper seeds. But remember, these are healthy, ready to plant, 3-1/2 inch & 4 pack vegetable starters. Still the best deal in the catalog! Heirlooms, to the best of our knowledge, are marked with an *.

PEPER & TOMATOES

Certified Organically Grown Vegetables Observations: If a variety did not perform in the summer of 2005, it probably never will. We have made room for new varieties, with an emphasis on Organic and Heirloom Seends, and tossed out a few poor performers. If vegetable prices continue to escalate, our currency just might convert to watermelon and pepper seeds. But remember, these are healthy, ready to plant, 3 1/2 inch vegetable starters. Still the best deal in the catalog! Each pot is only $2.99. Please order a minimum of six. (Not necessarily the same variety) Heirlooms, to the best of our knowledge, are marked with an *.

PEPPER- BELLS, CHILES...

Bell Peppers - Box shape for stuffing, fresh salad eating, all purpose.

Ethnic & Speciality Peppers - Sweet with a variety of uses

Chili Peppers - All will knock your socks off, except Anaheim. In order from mild to hottest in my opinion:
Anaheim Aji Amarillo Hungarian Hot Wax Cayenne, Long Slim Jalapeno, Early Habernero Purira
