SPINACH-SPRING-Carmel
BEETS-Craupadine, Cylindra, Chioggia, Yellow
CHARD-Golden chard, Rhubarb chard
CARROTS-Atomic Red, Cosmic Purple
CABBAGE-Kalibos
POTATOES- fingerling potatoes/died
CUCUMBERS-Boothby Blonde,Parisian, Poona Kheera
SUMMER SQUASH-Friulana (yellow warty zucchini)
WINTER SQUASH-Waltham Butternut
BEANS- GREEN-Emerite-french filet
BEANS-DRY-Casal di Panzariedd (maroon/white), Rosa di Lucca (pink/maroon stripes), Zolphino (little sulphur yellow bean)
SHALLOTS-Dutch
KALE-Russian Red, Toscano (Nero, blck
CORN-Peaches and Cream
PEPPERS-Jimmy Nardello, Lava Red, Corno di Rosso, Shishito


TOMATOES- I tested some new varieties. I liked some better than others. H means Hybrid.

purple calabash – not so good

brandywine –I had good luck this year, usually brandywine is not a success.

mushroom basket – no, too fluted

BKX – this is a variety of Black Krim. Poor production.

Goldmans Italian American – love!

big zac-H—love!
goliath-H –yes!
lucky cross – top favorite year after year

black cherry H-- prolific!
egg yolk-died – meh, Sungold is just as good

cherokee green-- ok

cherokee lemon --ok

cherokee purple – a top favorite, year after year

Cherokee Carbon-H – Yes. Great production

Paul Robeson – perennial favorite—try it

Virginia Sweet -- excellent

Ananas Noire – black, nothing special

Pantano Romanesco – late mature; not appropriate for our short season

Captain Lucky—Yes!
Large Barr Boar – fantastic!

black n brown boar –yes!

Pink Berkley Tie Dye – after trialing for several years, I won’t be growing again

moby-dwarf trial-- This is a wonderful larger yellow cherry tomato. Wonderfully intense flavor. I was involved 2 years ago growing this out for Craig Lehouiller, author of Epic Tomatoes. I found some of the plants I grew had a anthocyanin blush (purple blush) on its shoulders so I’m continuing to see if we can get this trait to stabilize for future generations. The plant is only 4 feet tall, very prolific and would be great in large pots as well in the ground as I do. You can get the original seeds now online at Victory Seeds. A must try. 63 days to harvest.

Program Notes

  1. Why Save Seeds

--Scarcity—global warming or weather event or increased demand (covid)

--increase genetic diversity (seed companies)

--hyper local adaptation/landrace

  1. How to Save Seeds -- easiest to save—selfers like tomatoes, beans, peppers, lettuce; talk about OP vs hybrids; talk about isolation for seeds that are wind and insect pollinated. See chart on SFEMG.org. How to save seeds from tomatoes and cucumbers—ferment. Tomatoes that are more likely to be wind pollinated.

  2. How to Store Seeds—cool, dark, dry

  3. How to Start Seeds—end of Feb show for March will address this but talk about ideal timing

  4. Seed Viability. Seed viability charts on line; USDA does germ tests on commercial seed companies’ seed stock. 75-55% must germinate to be approved for sale. Those seeds are then “packed for xxx year” and sold. Most have seed viability charts on their website for how long to expect the seeds to germinate reliably. As they age the viability goes down. But the charts are typically quite conservative. If the seeds were stored correctly, those seeds may be viable far longer than indicated. If in doubt, do a germination test to calculate germination rate: plant 10 or use wet paper towel in plastic bag. Pumpkin seeds 300 years old and date palm seed found in urn at the bottom of dead sea with the Nag Hamadi scriptures two thousand years ago both germinated and produced fruit. Never give up on a seed.

  5. Small, localized Seed Companies—let’s support them. They use growers in their own regions, they offer unique, landrace varieties, etc., and

  6. Stanley Crawford in Dixon for garlic—buy at SF Farmers Market

  7. Hobbs & Meyer in Pueblo, CO
  8. Miss Penn’s Mountain Seeds, Penn Parmenter in Westcliff, Colorado
  9. Native Seed Search in Tucson
  10. Snake River Seed Coop in Idaho—Casey OLeary
  11. High Desert Seed + Gardens* ,Montrose, CO
  12. Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa
  13. Siskyou Seeds in SW Oregon (Don Tipping)
  14. Botanical Interest—Colorado. Sold at Retail (not sure where their seeds are grown)
