    1. Beefsteak (Ponderosa Red) (Appx. 15 seeds)

    • The Ponderosa Red Beefsteak Tomato produces meaty, bright red fruit with mild, sweet flavor. This low-acid ribbed slicer has very few seeds, so there’s more flesh to savor. Strong vines support heavy production, so stake well. Eat them any way you can think of.
    • 75-80 days to maturity

    2. Black Krim (Appx. 15 seeds)

    • The Black Krim Tomato is as unusual as it is flavorful. Hailing from the Black Sea region of Russia, this robust tomato ripens to a unique mix of deep brown shoulders atop smoky red bodies with reddish-green flesh. Reliably produces ½-1lb fruits with a rich, slightly salty flavor. Dress up a sandwich or cook up a Khrenovina sauce.
    • 75-80 days to maturity

    3. Bonny Best (Appx. 15 seeds)

    • The Bonny Best Tomato has a century-old reputation as a canning and ketchup tomato due to its small seed core, acidity, and firm texture, but it’s secretly great as a fresh slicer. This high-yielder produces picture-perfect medium, round, bright red fruits with hearty flavor. A great all-around tomato with many flavorful uses.
    • 75-80 days to maturity

    • 75-80 days to maturity

    • On any productive homestead, every member needs to pull its weight, and the Homestead Tomato out-tomatoes every tomato.

    • 75-80 days to maturity

    8. Large Red Cherry (Appx. 15 seeds)

    • If we were going to write a short intro about the Large Red Cherry Tomato, we wouldn’t describe them as “cute little things,” decorating your garden like “heavy clusters of small, ruby jewels” that are “bursting with sweet flavor,” and suggest you “mix them with Black Cherry Tomatoes for an ode to a ladybug." No. We would write it in the bullet points, like this:
      - Cute little things
      - Clusters of small, ruby jewels
      - Sweet flavor
      - Mix with Black Cherry Tomatoes for an ode to a ladybug 🐞

    9. Rio Grande (Appx. 15 seeds)

    • The Rio Grande Tomato is a classic plum/paste tomato that gets along with heat, humidity, and drought, but that’s only one of its maravilloso qualities. The plant produces muchos bright red, egg-shaped fruits with a flavor that’s well-balanced between dulce and acidic. Especially bueno for pastes and sauces, but it wouldn’t mind being chopped up into fresh pico de gallo with a little onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
    • 75-80 days to maturity

    10. Rutgers (Appx. 15 seeds)

    • The Rutgers Tomato has all the best tomato qualities—medium tomato size, smooth tomato skin, bright red tomato color, slightly flattened tomato shape, old-fashioned tomato flavor, compact tomato plant, reliable tomato production, generous tomato yields, and kind to animals. A tomato you can take home to meet the family.
    • 75-80 days to maturity

    11. Small Red Cherry (Appx. 15 seeds)

    • 70-80 days to maturity

    12. Red Pear

    • With a history as old as America herself, the Red Pear Tomato has been a delicious tradition in thousands of gardens. Vigorous vines are loaded with hundreds of small, sweet pear-shaped fruits with a nice acidic bite. Early maturity is a bonus for Northern zones with a short growing season. Try roasting or pickling them for your Fourth of July celebration.
    • 75-80 days to maturity

    13. Yellow Pear (Appx. 15 seeds)

    • We don’t say this about a lot of tomatoes, but the Yellow Pear Tomato really should be grown in every garden. We also don’t say this about a lot of tomatoes: It’s prolific. Ripens loads of lemon-yellow, pear-shaped 1"-2" fruits that are delicious straight off the vine. Keep a few empty bags on-hand to fill up and share these sweet, mild flavor bombs with friends and neighbors.
    • 75-80 days to maturity

    14. Roma (Appx. 15 seeds)

    • The Roma Tomato is the quintessential plum/paste tomato. Light on seeds and juice, it has thick fruit walls and dense flesh that holds onto seasonings and spices. Ever so good cooked into a thick sauce or paste, canned, or pureed. Compact plants produce meaty, egg-shaped fruits that are sweet and tangy. Skip the flavorless ones at the grocery store and grow your own Romas this summer.
    • 75-85 days to maturity

    1. Anaheim Chili

    • Appx. 10 seeds

Loads of long 6"-10" tapered peppers ripen from grassy green to forest to smoky red. Thick-skinned and fleshy, tangy and sweet, tasty when fresh or cooked into meat. Try chiles rellenos or corn chowder, or make it Seco and grind into powder.

And when it matures fully to dark brown, the name is Mulato. Vigorous, leafy plants produce grande amounts of tapered heart-shaped 4"-8" fruit with a mellow, smoky flavor and a little bit of heat. This fleshy, thick-skinned pepper is traditionally used for chiles rellenos and mole sauce, but you can probably think of a few more uses while you’re studying for the quiz about its name.

    Steps for Sprouting Seeds

    The easiest method of growing sprouts is to use a Mason jar. The key is to provide plenty of fresh air to enter the jar and only cover the top with a mesh screen.

    Step 1: Soaking

    For a quart-sized jar, put 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of small seeds (up to 1 cup if using larger seeds like green peas or garbanzo) in the sprouting jar. Cover top of jar with cloth or sprouting lid and rinse the seeds in warm (not hot) water. Drain and refill so that water is about an inch above the seeds. Let the seeds soak 8-12 hours (overnight). Protect from light by covering with a dish towel or placing in a cupboard.

    Step 2: Rinsing

    Rinse 2 to 3 times per day for 2 to 3 days. After thoroughly draining the rinse water, lay the jar on its side to spread out the seeds. Do not expose to light. After 2 to 3 days the sprouts should be filling up the jar.


    Things to Remember:

    1. Rinse often (2-3 times/day).

    2. Keep them moist, not wet.

    3. Keep them at room temperature.

    4. Give them air to breathe.

    5. Don't grow too many in one container.

    6. Keep them in a dark place.

    Angelica (Angelica archangelica), also called Wild Celery and Holy Ghost, is a fragrant herb in the carrot family.

      Beet - Burpee's Golden

      From $299 USD
      View details

      Description

      The Burpee Golden Beet, a cultivar of the traditional beetroot, is distinguished by its vibrant golden-yellow flesh and sweet flavor. This variety is particularly valued for its unique color, which not only adds visual appeal to dishes but also provides a different taste profile compared to the more common red beet. The golden beet is rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber, making it a beneficial addition to any garden.

      When cultivating Burpee Golden Beets, it is essential to consider their growing conditions. These beets thrive in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. They prefer full sun exposure, requiring at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. The optimal planting time for golden beets is in early spring or late summer, as they are cool-season crops. Planting seeds approximately 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart allows for adequate spacing, which is crucial for healthy root development.

      Watering is another critical aspect of growing Burpee Golden Beets. Consistent moisture is necessary, especially during the germination phase, which typically takes 5 to 10 days. Once established, beets require about 1 inch of water per week. However, overwatering should be avoided, as it can lead to root rot and other diseases. Mulching around the plants can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, contributing to a healthier growing environment.

      Harvesting Burpee Golden Beets is generally recommended when the roots reach a diameter of 1 to 3 inches, typically around 50 to 60 days after planting. At this stage, the beets are tender and flavorful. It is advisable to harvest them before they become too large, as larger beets may develop a woody texture. The greens of the golden beet are also edible and can be harvested and consumed as a nutritious leafy green.

      In terms of pest management, Burpee Golden Beets are susceptible to common garden pests such as aphids and leaf miners. Implementing integrated pest management strategies, including crop rotation and the use of beneficial insects, can help mitigate these issues. Additionally, maintaining healthy soil through organic practices can enhance the plants' resilience against pests and diseases.

      In conclusion, the Burpee Golden Beet is a rewarding plant for both novice and experienced gardeners. Its unique color, nutritional benefits, and versatility in the kitchen make it an excellent choice for home gardens. By providing the right growing conditions and care, gardeners can enjoy a bountiful harvest of this vibrant vegetable.
