New for 2012! We have many newly certified organic popcorn and cucumber varieties. South American Yellow Dynamite popcorn showed impressive resistance to lodging in last summer's hurricane rains. Fast Lady Northern Southern Pea is a new short season quick-cooking lady-type from Carol Deppe, author of Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties and The Resilient Gardener.
We have a good supply of flavorful, productve Schronce’s Deep Black peanut. Think about adding this locally grown high-protein crop to your garden (but those further north should pick shorter season varieties). We've added a new fava bean - Sweet Lorane fava - which can be grown as a fall or spring crop or as an edible winter cover crop in areas with milder winters. Steve Solomon, founder of Territorial Seed Company, bred it for over-wintering in Oregon's Williamette Valley. Read about other changes for 2012 >>
