Pumpkins Casper

Tomatoes Arkansas Marvel

This is a very white, 9-10 inch diameter, 10-20 lb pumpkin whose bright orange flesh is excellent for eating. This pumpkin experiences less "bluing" than other white pumpkins.Great for a spooky Halloween garden.

This was Gordys favorite tomato. It is by far the biggest tomato that we have seen. It was gigantic- easily 3 pounds. Equally amazing though, is that this tomato has great flavor and its flesh has wonderful texture, not the grainy texture that many big tomatoes have. This tomato originated in Arkansas, as its name indicates, but little else is known. Some of our seed was provided to us by LOVE APPLE FARM, Santa Cruz County, California. LOVE APPLE FARM is the leading provider of premier heirloom tomatoes in Santa Cruz County. The vines grow 6-8 feet and produce single, 1-3 pound fruit.

Radish Easter Egg

Tomatoes Black From Tula

Radishes are excellent container vegetables and the Easter Egg collection is the best assortment of red, pink, purple and white. This collection can be planted several times throughout the season.

This is one of our favorites because it is a beautiful, distinctive looking fruit with the deepest red flesh that looks and tastes tantalizing and rich. This tomato originally came from the Ukraine.Vines may grow to a height of 6-8 feet and fruit is produced singly weighing approximately 10-12 ounces.

Radish Red Meat

Tomatoes Czech's Bush

This is a MUST HAVE. This is the most beautiful radish I have ever seen. The large round bulbs have a green skin but the flesh is a bright pink. The radishes are very sweet. These radishes can only be planted in late summer or fall. If planted in spring, they will bolt before forming the radish.

This really is a Czechoslovakian tomato. The plants are stocky, perfect for containers, and produce heavy yields of 4-6 oz. round, red fruit. Good flavor and only 70 days to maturity from transplant.

Spinach Bloomsdale Long Standing

Tomatoes Dr. Caroline

This slow bolting, vigorous spinach was introduced by Landreth in 1826. Even today it is the most popular, nonhybrid spinach sold. The leaves are tender and richly flavored. The plants will do well sown in early spring or late summer.

Of all the tomatoes that we tasted none equaled Dr. Carolyn. This medium-sized, creamy -white, cherry tomato has the most unbelievably sweet fruity flavor of any tomato that I have ever eaten. It is a sport of Galinas, a Siberian tomato, and is named for Carolyn Male, author of 100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden. Some of our seed was provided to us by LOVE APPLE FARM, Santa Cruz County, California. LOVE APPLE FARM is the leading provider of premier heirloom tomatoes in Santa Cruz County.

Spinach Climbing Spinach (Red Malabar)

Tomatoes German Red Strawberry

This is a MUST HAVE for the patio gardener. Not a true spinach, but a vigorous vine whose leaves resemble spinach and have a mild swiss chard taste. Use sparingly in salads or with cooked greens. The vines can be easily trellised. The deep red-purple stems are a beautiful contrast to the shiny dark green leaves.

I LOVE this tomato. It is a positively beautiful tomato to look at. It has a rich, sweet flavor and lovely fragrance. This tomato originated in Germany.Vines grow 4-6 feet and fruit is large, in the one pound range, and produced in clusters of two or three.

Spinach Strawberry Spinach

Tomatoes Gold Nugget

This is a very showy compact plant that has been grown in Europe for centuries. Not a true spinach, the leaves are very nutritious in salads and the red mulberry-like fruits can be dried or used fresh.

This is an early, prolific, golden cherry tomato with delicious flavor. It is the only container, golden cherry that I know of. Plants are quite compact and very heavy producers.

Summer Squash Lemon

Tomatoes Green Giant

This is the size, shape and color of a lemon and can be grown on a trellis on the patio. The small fruit are very tasty and are especially good sautéed.

This is a huge tomato with brillant green shoulders and a lime green body, but the most amazing thing about this tomato is its outstanding flavor. What a great tomato- all that flavor in a 1-2 pound fruit! Our seed was provided to us by LOVE APPLE FARM, Santa Cruz County, California. LOVE APPLE FARM is the leading provider of premier heirloom tomatoes in Santa Cruz County.

The vines grow 4-6 feet in height and produce single, 1-2 pound fruit.

Summer Squash Zucchini Dark Green

Tomatoes Green Zebra

This is one of the earliest varieties. The bush habit makes this an excellent container plant. Fruits have good flavor and should be harvested at 7".

This tomato is a visually distinctive fruit with dark green stripes set against a light green to yellow background. The flesh is a very bright green. The taste is slightly acidic, but sometimes sweet. The 2-3 ounce fruit grow in clusters of 4-6. The vines grow 3-5 feet in height.

Winter Squash Ponca Butternut

Tomatoes Nebraska Wedding

It is difficult to find winter squash that can be container grown. This is one of the few great choices. The vines are quite compact, but they produce high yields of small (2 lb.) butternut squash with tan skins and deep orange flesh.

A unique patio tomato! The 36" plants do need staking, but they thrive in containers and are good producers of tasty, beautiful, orange, 3-4 in. round fruit that grow in clusters.
