Not today but yesterday, I started my summer seeds.
Tomatoes
Riesentraube an old German heirloom was offered in Philadelphia by the mid-1800's. The sweet red 1 oz fruit grow in large custers and the name means "Giant bunch of grapes" in German. Large plants with massive yields. Indeterminate.
St.Pierre beautiful French heirloom. The tender fruits have a rich, full flavor and are large in siz, great for canning or fresh eating. They are deep red and excellent producers, even in bad conditions. Popular in Europe. Indeterminate.
Peppers
Padron Pimientos de Padron are amazingly tasty, tiny fresh peppers originally from a medieval town in Galicia, northwest Spain. Fried and sprinkled with sea salt, they have a delicious flavor and most are mild. But every once in a while you will bit into a spicy pepper.
Topepo Rosso This Italian heirloom produces tasty, blood red, round pimento-type peppers that are very sweet. The flesh is very thick and crisp. Short, compact plants produce huge yields; great fresh or cooked. A wonderful specialty variety that has many uses.
Eggplant
Violetta Lunga Long Purple. 65-70 days Long, somewhat narrow 8 inch rustic purple eggplant. Grown all over Italy. Classic rich eggplant taste.
Cabbage
Early Jersey Wakefield First grown in the U.S. by Francis Brill of Jersey City, New Jersey in 1840, The earliest market variety. Conical, solid, tightly folded heads. I hope I haven't planted these too late.
Onion
White Lisbon Scallions, mild and sweet. I don't usually have good luck with any onions, but I keep trying.
All of these are in little paper cups and under a heat/sun lamp.
Hurray! Here we go again. I hope I have better luck with tomatoes this year. The whole area here had bad luck with tomatoes.
