Some New Varieties for 2009

We placed the last of our seed orders for the summer season and the Local Food Project crew is looking forward to harvesting some old favorites like Ermosa lettuce, Sun Gold cherry tomatoes, and Sweet Chocolate peppers. We’re also excited to try out some new varieties this year—red and purple speckled Scarlet Runner bean, bumpy blue Marina di Chioggia pumpkin, blackish purple Nyagous tomato, and other unique vegetables, flowers, and herbs we can’t wait to try and share!

I think everybody loves Sungold tomatoes. I know I do.

I had a terrible squash but onslaught last year and the Marina di Chiogga could not take it! Hope for better this year.

We had a squash bug attack last year too--wiped out our pumpkins.

I read about Marina di Chioggia in "The Compleat Squash" and became totally entranced by it. Can't wait to see how ours turn out!
