This tender annual is a determinate tomato. This means the plant stays compact and is great for growing in pots or small space gardens. Roma tomatoes are the standard canning and paste tomato. They are also tasty in salads and salsas. Vigorous compact vines produce large harvests of about 3" long pear-shaped fruits with few seeds. Suggested Planting Requirements: Tomatoes can be direct sown or transplanted. For direct sowing, garden beds must be prepped and the soil should be about 60 degrees. For transplanting, start seeds in the greenhouse six weeks before the last frost, then transplant into your garden. Tomatoes are unique in that they can be buried very deep. The tiny white hairs on the vegetable stalk will actually from roots. Some gardeners suggest planting them sideways. Tomatoes love fertile soil rich in organic matter. A good planting practice is to add plenty of compost before planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5 and 7.0. Soil should be moist at planting time. Watering should be done at weekly intervals and overwatering avoided. To prevent disease, avoid overhead watering and water at the soil level. Growing Recommendations: Tomatoes require full sun for healthy and fast growth. A balanced organic fertilizer should be added before planting in the garden. If you are aware of calcium deficiencies in your soil, it is likely your tomatoes will suffer from blossom end rot which is easily taken care of with the addition of a calcium amendment to the soil. During the growing season, water at the soil level of the plants avoiding to get the foliage wet. Prune excess foliage and suckers for maximum production. More information on pruning suckers here . Pruning also helps to increase airflow for tomatoes and can help prevent diseases. Keep a lookout for pests like whiteflies which can decrease production.

Pepper, Thai Chili Mix ORGANIC

If you love the flavor of Thai chilies, you will love this custom mix! We grew these seeds on our farm for trialing and production in the summer of 2019. We could not believe the number of chilies each plant produced! The plants form small bushes that produce over a pound of chilies on each one! You will find red and orange Thai chilies in this mix. Both have a decent amount of heat but the flavor is what is wonderful. Floral and sweet notes complement the heat and will add flavor to your dishes! Suggested Planting Requirements: Peppers require deeply worked, well-drained soil with plenty of added organic matter and a pH of 6.0-6.8. Do not overwater as this encourages diseases. Growing Recommendations: Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Direct sowing is not recommended but can be accomplished. Mulch for disease and weed control. Pinch all flowers until the main stalk reaches 18” for optimum support. In cooler areas, you may grow peppers in greenhouses or under cloches. Temperatures under 55°F may permanently damage peppers. Peppers can be grown in container gardens. Stake to keep fruit off the ground. Harvesting & Storage: Harvest the first fruits early to encourage continued production through the season. Cut; do not pull the fruit from the stems. These peppers may be harvested from the green stage through the color changes for varying flavor and texture. These peppers bring a lot of heat but can be tamed if the seeds and core are cut out of the pepper. Great roasted and added to any salsa or dish that needs a fiery kick!

We trialed these Tokyo onions on our farm during the fall/winter of 2018 and were wonderfully surprised! They grew quickly to a stunning size of 2"-3" in diameter. Great mild flavor. The bunching onion is one of the most important types of onions in Asia and has been grown in China for thousands of years. A versatile and mild flavor makes it a great accompaniment to any dish. You can grow them in a pot or on a balcony. They do really well when interplanted with other cool-season crops like cabbages or broccoli. We keep ours in the ground until we use the last of them in mid-summer after our salsa season! Suggested Planting Requirements: Starting seed inside is recommended to reduce competition with weeds. Onion seeds are notoriously slow-growing, so be patient! You may also direct sow. Onion seeds have the shortest viability of all common vegetables so make sure your seeds are fresh. There are several different types of onions. Bulbing onions produce a large bulb and can store for some time. Spring onions or bunching onions are typically sown in the fall and harvested as "spring" onions or scallions in the early springtime. Growing recommendations will vary slightly depending on what kind of onion you wish to grow. Growing Recommendations for bunching or spring onions: Plant spring onion seeds in the fall to ensure production by early spring. Growers can plant inside to protect them from the competition with weeds. When the seedling is 2 weeks old or so you can transplant them out into a moist garden bed or pot. Space out spring onions to a spacing of at least 2" The wider the spacing, the large the onions can grow. If direct planting the seeds, prepare the soil with 2" of compost and work the soil to remove any debris that would inhibit growth. Harvesting & Storage: You can harvest and eat green onions in many stages. Young onions can be thinned and eaten like chives while larger onions can be pulled directly out of the soil. Soil Temperature: 50+°F Planting Depth: ¼” Days to Germination: 5-13 Days to Maturity: 80 Height at Maturity: 12"+ Lighting Requirements: Full Sun Spacing: 1-2” Allium fistulosum Package Weight: 1 gram Approximate seed count per packet: 420 seeds Sows about a 140 feet long bed taking into account thinning.

Corn, Sweet Top Hat ORGANIC

This open-pollinated corn came from the late Oregon farmer/breeder/seed grower Jonathan Spero of Lupine Knoll Farm. He spent six years diligently selecting open-pollinated sweet corn that has all the sweetness we love! This corn is great for the gardener and small scale grower. It has good kernel development, great texture, and sweet corn flavor. The Organic Seed Alliance, which has been very helpful for our farm, spearheaded the work behind this great open-pollinated corn variety. Suggested Planting Requirements: Corn is a vigorous and fast-growing crop. For the best production, you will want to give it generous amounts of nitrogen phosphorus and potassium. You can do this by adding an all-purpose organic granular fertilizer at the time of planting. We also recommend adding compost or aged manure to the top 6" of the soil. Corn needs full sun and warm weather to grow. For pollination purposes, you will want to plant corn in a block to ensure the pollen falls onto the tassels. Growing Recommendations: Corn is typically directly sown in the ground, and in protected gardens, this works well. If you have critters in your garden or issues with direct sowing you can transplant your corn seed as we do on our farm. The secret is to make sure you do not let the corn become root bound in the pots. When transplanting the corn, make sure you untwist the main root so that it dangles free at planting. This ensures they are not rooted bound and the transplants can grow freely. Harvesting & Storage: Depending on the variety of corn, the harvest instructions will vary. Sweet corn is harvested when the peak sugar has condensed in each kernel. This is typically about 17-25 days after pollination. Signs of maturity are: silks become dry, ears are tilted from the stem, and ears feel firm. When in doubt, peel back the husk and squeeze a kernel. If a milk juice comes out, it's ready! Do not let sweet corn over ripen. Popcorn varieties are ready when the kernels are fully developed in the husk and hard to the touch. For dent and flint corn varieties, if the silk near the very tip of the ear of corn is dry, then the corn is likely to mature. To store sweet corn, harvest whole ears and store in the fridge until ready for eating. Popcorn and flint corns can be stored dry until needed. Soil Temperature: 75-95°F Planting Depth: 1/2" Days to Germination: 7-14+ Days to Maturity: 105+ Length at Maturity: 6"-7" Lighting Requirements: Full Sun Spacing: 6" Zea Mays Package Weight: 7 gram Approximate seed count per pack: 40 seeds Sows approximately a 5' x 5' block taking into account thinning.

Melon, Honey Dew ORGANIC

Delicious and lightly sweet, this honeydew makes a beautiful addition to your fruit salad. A great keeper that gets incredibly sweet while resting in your fridge or on your countertop. Suggested Planting Requirements: Full sun is needed and high heat toward the end of the growing season can produce very sweet fruit. The pH level for melons should be 6.0-7.0 with soil that is fertile and well-drained. Melons tend to be shallow-rooted, so watering often and consistent is important. Plants can be potted and/or trellised and/or left to sprawl on the ground. Growing Recommendations: Melons must be sheltered from cool winds and placed in the warmest area. The heat of ideally 90 degrees will condense the sugars. Harvesting & Storage: Melons should be harvested at peak ripeness. The bottom of the melon that is not attached to the vine should omit a musky sweet smell when ready to harvest. They should be cut from the vine and handled very carefully. Soil Temperature: 75-95°F Planting Depth: 1/2" Days to Germination: 7-14+ Days to Maturity: 65-75+ Length at Maturity: 5’-7’ Lighting Requirements: Full Sun Spacing: 3'-6' Cucumis melo Package Weight: 1 gram Approximate seed count per packet: 27 seeds Sows about a 30' row taking into account thinning.

Tomato, Yellow Pear ORGANIC

This pear-shaped tomato was a prolific producer in our 2013 gardens. Reaching heights of six feet when pruned and staked, this tomato is a bountiful producer! A tender annual, this tomato gives indeterminate yellow fruits of about 1” grown in clusters, each ripening at different periods for a long season of harvesting. Perfect for salads and snacking. Suggested Planting Requirements: Tomatoes can be direct sown or transplanted. For direct sowing, garden beds must be prepped, and soil should be above 60 degrees. If you decide to transplant, start seeds in the greenhouse six weeks before the last frost, then transplant them into your garden. Tomatoes are unique in that they can be buried very deep. The tiny white hairs on the vegetable stalk will actually form roots. Some gardeners suggest planting them sideways. Tomatoes love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost before planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5 and 7.0. Soil should be moist at planting time. Watering should be done at weekly intervals and overwatering avoided. To prevent disease, avoid overhead watering and water at the soil level. Growing Recommendations: Tomatoes require full sun for healthy and fast growth. A balanced organic fertilizer should be added before planting in the garden. If you are aware of calcium deficiencies in your soil, it is likely your tomatoes will suffer from blossom end rot which is easily taken care of with the addition of a calcium amendment to the soil. During the growing season, water at the soil level of the plants avoiding getting the foliage wet. Prune excess foliage and suckers for maximum production. More information on pruning suckers here . Pruning also helps to increase airflow for tomatoes and can help prevent diseases. Keep a lookout for pests like whiteflies which can decrease production. Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when individual fruits are slightly tender to the squeeze of a finger. This may be before the tomatoes are fully colored. History: This tomato originated from Europe in the 18th century. The earliest records show it being used in soup recipes in 1752.

Bush Bean, Tepary Bean ORGANIC

Tepary beans are a semi bush legume with a long history in the southwestern United States. Native peoples have grown these beans since the pre-Columbian times. Tepary beans are more drought-tolerant than the common garden bean and resistant to many bean diseases. We received this beautiful bean from our friend Mike Reese of Rio Del Ray Beans. The bean pots are small with flat, lentil looking beans inside. A culinary treat and packed with flavor, tepary beans should be cooked like any other bean. Suggested Planting Requirements: Tepary beans can thrive in less than ideal locations than common beans which prefer well-drained soil rich in organic matter and a moderate amount of nutrients. Tepary beans are very drought tolerant. Germination requires moist soil, but plants will flourish in dry conditions once established. Too much water inhibits bean production and can lead to disease. Historically, tepary beans were cultivated by various methods, most commonly after an infrequent rain in the desert or after floodwaters along a river or ephemeral stream had subsided. Despite the warning against transplanting your beans, on our farm we almost always start our seeds in the greenhouse and plant them out. This allows for perfect spacing on our small farm. Depending on your preference you may start indoors for short-season growing or seed directly once soils have reached at least 48F, after the last frost. If you plant too soon in cold soil your seeds will likely rot. Soak beans for 24 hours before planting for expedited germination. Growing Recommendations: Avoid overhead watering to prevent diseases. Space the plants 6- 8" to provide ample airflow and prevent fungal issues. Tepary beans are semi-bush and can climb if you give a structure to grab onto. Harvesting & Storage: Let beans pods form until beans are hard inside the pot. You can let the plant die back and then pull the whole plant (pods and all) to harvest the beans. You can remove beans by hand or dance on the plant in a tarp to release the beans. Beans can be cooked like any dry bean. Soil Temperature: 60-85°F Planting Depth: 1/2" Days to Germination: 5-10 + Days to Maturity: 120+ Height at Maturity: 2’-3’ Lighting Requirements: Full Sun Spacing: 7-10" Phaseolus acutifolius Package Weight: 5 gram Approximate seed count per packet: 40 seeds Sows about a 33' row taking into account thinning. More on Tepary Beans and Recipes: Tepary beans (Phaseolus acutifolius) Tepary beans are a semi-bush bean originating in the desert areas of Mexico and the American Southwest. They grow best in extreme heat and under arid conditions. Tepary beans’ taproot is twice as long as common beans’ (Phaseolus vulgaris) , which allows teparies to take advantage of even small amounts of soil moisture efficiently. Nutritionally, tiny tepary beans (1/4” long, the size of large lentils) are higher in protein, iron, calcium, and fiber than most beans. Their nutritional benefits, sweet, nutty flavor, and relatively quick cooking time make teparies well worth searching out. Jay Bost, in the June 2006 Seeds of Change newsletter , wrote a fascinating article about tepary beans. His discussion of the growing conditions under which teparies thrive makes me interested in trying them in Greece, which has the necessary hot, dry summers: “Due to its native habitat in the Sonoran Desert, domesticated tepary beans … are considered by many to be the most drought-tolerant annual legume in the world. They are capable of producing a harvest of beans with a single rain in the harshest conditions; when irrigated, they produce higher yields only up to a certain point, after which excess moisture becomes a detriment and leads to overproduction of foliage and low bean production. In fact, it appears that moisture stress is necessary to trigger fruiting. Part of the tepary bean's secret to success in dry areas is to grow quickly when water is available. While pinto beans take 90 to 120 days to maturity, teparies take only 75 to 85. As water shortages become a reality in many parts of the U.S. and around the world, teparies will undoubtedly play an important role in dryland agriculture. In fact, tepary cultivation is now taking place in dry areas of Africa and is being revived in southern Arizona.” Bost details teparies’ nutritional benefits: “Part of the tepary bean's appeal, in addition to its drought tolerance, is its superior nutritional content. It has a higher protein content (23–30%) than common beans such as pinto, kidney, and navy, as well as higher levels of oil, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, and potassium. While higher in all of these desired nutrients, tepary beans are lower in polyunsaturated fat and in the anti-enzymatic compounds, which make common beans hard to digest (Hamama and Bhardwaj 2002). Tepary beans are proving to be an ideal food for people prone to diabetes or suffering from diabetes because of the beans' high fiber level. This makes them a "slow-release food"; that is, tepary beans' sugars are released slowly and steadily, rather than in a spike as in many high carbohydrate, low fiber foods common in our diets.” The Ark of Taste is a list of endangered food plants and animals that the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity seeks to protect and defend. Tepary Beans are now on the Ark of Taste. Tuscan-Style Tepary Beans with Rosemary and Mushrooms Ingredients 1 cup dry Rio Del Rey Organic White Tepary Beans 5 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth 4-5 cloves garlic 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped One bay leaf 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil Three fresh sage leaves 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground 1 tsp salt (or to taste) 1 ½ cups mushrooms of your choice, chopped 1 tsp balsamic vinegar 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped One whole sprig fresh rosemary for garnish Instructions Rinse beans in water and soak overnight. Drain water from the beans and rinse them. Add the broth and the soaked beans to a large cooking pot. Add garlic, sage leaves chopped rosemary, bay leaf, black pepper, 2 Tbsp olive oil. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer beans, covered for at least two hours. When the beans are tender, and most of the broth has been absorbed, go through and mash about 1/3 of the beans using a fork. This will help thicken the beans to a creamy state upon serving. Remove the bay leaf and sage leaves; pour the beans into a pot. Add salt to taste. Warm a skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté on until they are crispy on the edges, and cooked through. Stir in 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar and the flat-leaf parsley. Add a pinch of salt to the mushrooms if desired. Fold the mushrooms into the beans and pour the bean dish into a serving bowl. Top with the one fresh sprig of rosemary and serve! Delicious as leftovers too, these beans will last in the fridge up to a week when properly stored, tightly.

Tomato, Purple Cherokee ORGANIC

This annual heirloom dates back to 1890! This beefsteak-style tomato is a favorite among heirloom growers. It boasts a beautiful deep purple-pink color, sweet flavor, and large-sized fruit that are great for sandwiches and salads. Purple Cherokee is an indeterminate variety. A must-have for any tomato fanatic! Suggested Planting Requirements: Tomatoes can be direct sown or transplanted. For direct sowing, garden beds must be prepped and soil should be above 60 degrees. To transplant, start seeds in the greenhouse six weeks before the last frost, then transplant them into your garden. Tomatoes are unique in that they can be buried very deep. The tiny white hairs on the vegetable stalk will actually form roots. Some gardeners suggest planting them sideways. Tomatoes love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost before planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5 and 7.0. Soil should be moist at planting time. Watering should be done at weekly intervals and overwatering avoided. To prevent disease, avoid overhead watering and water at the soil level. Growing Recommendations: Tomatoes require full sun for healthy and fast growth. A balanced organic fertilizer should be added before planting in the garden. If you are aware of calcium deficiencies in your soil, it is likely your tomatoes will suffer from blossom end rot which is easily taken care of with the addition of a calcium amendment to the soil. During the growing season, water at the soil level of the plants avoiding getting the foliage wet. Prune excess foliage and suckers for maximum production. More information on pruning suckers here . Pruning also helps to increase airflow for tomatoes and can help prevent diseases. Keep a lookout for pests like whiteflies which can decrease production. Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when individual fruits are slightly tender to the squeeze of a finger. This may be before the tomatoes are fully colored. History: This beautiful and tasty tomato dates back to the 1890s. In 1997 this particular variety came from Craig LeHoulier's garden in North Carolina. This seed was first made widely available by Southern Exposure Seed Exchange in 1997. Soil Temperature: 75-85°F Planting Depth: 1/4" Days to Germination: 10-15 Days to Maturity: 70-80 Height at Maturity: 4’-5’ Lighting R equirements: Full Sun Spacing: 3’-4’ Lycopersicon esculentum Package Weight: .25 gram Approximate seed count per packet: 120 seeds Sows about a 100' row taking into account thinning.

Lettuce, Black Seeded Simpson ORGANIC

Black Seeded Simpson is classic lettuce with great cultivation and eating qualities. Ruffled leaves are tender and delicately flavored. For more than 150 years this lettuce has been a favorite and for good reason. During our 2015 trial season, we found that Black Seeded Simpson lettuce outperformed many other varieties with similar qualities and was one of the last lettuces to bolt. Recommended Planting Requirements: Light soils with good drainage will give you the best harvest of lettuce. For Southern California growers, this may mean incorporating in large amounts of compost in soil that is less than desirable. The compost will inoculate your soil with important soil biology, retain more moisture in the soil, and improve tilth. Greens enjoy cool temperatures and adequate moist in the soil. If you plan to plant during a part of the year that is warmer, use shade cloth to protect the greens and keep them from turning bitter. Coastal gardeners and farmers can grow greens year-round. Need help starting your seeds? Check out our seed starting videos on YouTube. Growing Recommendation: Watering regularly is critical to good growth. In warmer climates watering more often may be needed. On our farm, we transplant out our greens by first starting them in the greenhouse. This allows for perfect spacing and better germination rates than directly sowing into the ground. If you desire to direct sow the seeds into a pot or garden bed, make sure the ground you are planting into is thoroughly moist. This may mean saturating a garden box or pot prior to planting. Harvesting & Storage: Like most lettuces, you can trim wanted leaves from the plant as needed. You can also cut entire tops of the lettuce off and it will regrow. This is known as a cut and come again crop. Soil Temperature: 45-85°F Planting Depth: 1/4" Days to Germination: 7-14 Days to Maturity: 35-45+ Height at Maturity: 6” Lighting Requirements: Partial Sun/ Full Sun Spacing: 6”-12” Lactuca sativa Package Weight: .25 gram Approximate seed count per packet: 60 seeds Sows about a 20' row taking into account thinning.

Royal Burgundy bean is an heirloom bush variety. A reliable producer with stunning deep purple beans, it has long, round, stringless pods with a tender texture. Royal Burgundy beans can be used fresh, shelled, and dried. The flowers are just as gorgeous! We suggest you succession plant every two weeks for a long summer supply of these stunning and flavorful beans. The plants are productive with disease resistance. Suggested Planting Requirements: Legumes like a well-drained soil rich in organic matter and a moderate amount of nutrients. Plants should be watered lightly at the time of planting, medium at flowering, and heavily throughout harvest time. Despite the warning against transplanting your beans, on our farm we almost always start our seeds in the greenhouse and plant them out. This allows for perfect spacing on our small farm. Depending on your preference you may start indoors for short-season growing, or seed directly once soils have reached at least 48F, after the last frost. If you plant them too soon in cold soil, your seeds will likely rot. Soak beans for 24 hours before planting for expedited germination. Growing Recommendations: Avoid overhead watering to prevent diseases. The more you pick, the more beans the plant will produce. Checking the plant every few days is a good practice. Space the plants 6- 8" to provide ample airflow and prevent fungal issues. Harvesting & Storage: Pick regularly to extend the harvest period. When you have enough beans harvested you can let the remaining beans mature and dry them on the vine to use as shell beans. Fresh pole beans freeze well. Soil Temperature: 65-85°F Planting Depth: 1" Days to Germination: 5-10 + Days to Maturity: 65-70+ Height at Maturity: 5’-7’ Lighting Requirements: Full Sun Spacing: 1'-2' Phaseolus vulgaris Package Weight: 9 gram Approximate seed count per package: 30 seeds CALL FOR LARGER QUANTITIES. 858-736-6872

Copenhagen Early Market Cabbage Seed

Copenhagen Early Market cabbage seeds produce blonde, short-season cabbages that have ball-shaped heads and weigh 4 to 5 pounds. Many love this variety for delicious sauerkraut paired with corned beef, or in Grandma's famous coleslaw recipe. Suggested Planting Requirements: Cabbage and any brassica require lots of organic matter and plenty of plant food to produce happily and quickly. We recommend that you amend the planting area with compost, manure, and organic fertilizer to ensure the plant is adequately fed during it's growing season. Just amending with compost will likely not give the plant enough nutrients to grow happily. Cabbage and all brassica plants like to grow during the cool months of the year. For Zones 9 and 10 you can grow cabbage all winter long with row covers if you are in high elevations. Other areas will want to direct sow cabbage seed after the threat of frost is gone, or start inside 3-4 weeks before the last frost. Growing Recommendation: On our farm, we start cabbage from seed in the greenhouse all winter long and succession plant to have cabbages all spring and well into the summer. When the weather gets hot you can use shade cloth to prolong the season. Side dressing with an organic fertilizer will help boost production. Harvesting and Storage: Harvest as soon as the head is the desired size. Cut at the base of the plant. Do not wash until use to prevent premature rot. Store in the refrigerator for weeks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Siqv4koKtaU Soil Temperature: 45-85°F Planting Depth: ¼” Days to Germination: 4-20 Days to Maturity: 65-75+ Height at Maturity: 3”-7” Lighting Requirements: Full Sun Spacing: 18"-2' Brassica oleracea Package Weight: .25 gram Approximate seed count per pack: 80 seeds Sows about a 100' bed taking into account thinning.
