seedling list

Well, the inventory is finally complete.  I'm posting here a list of all the seedlings we have left to pass along.  They are $3 each, and will mostly come in 9 oz. plastic cups.

Paul and Lulah will come to town Saturday morning, May 4, to the Farmer's Market.  There are plenty of some, and few of others.  Place your orders early and we'll set them aside for you. First come first serve.

We may have a few dozen eggs available as well.  Let us know if you want some.

We hope you're all enjoying this long slow Spring.

CHERRY TOMATOES

Peace Vine - classic little red fruit.

Black Cherry -  Beautiful dusky purple-brown. They have that rich flavor that makes black tomatoes famous. Large vines yield very well.

Honey Drop - orangey-yellow, juicy with a fruity flavor - a lot of genetic diversity in this variety - can bear any variety of shapes and colors.

Frosted Green Doctor - these cherries are green when fully ripe - looks like frosted grapes.  sweet fruit.

PASTE

Polish Lingusia - huge, sausage shaped paste tomato with excellent flavor. 

San Marzano La Padino - classic paste tomato - low water content and open seed cavities - high yielding.
