NEW FOR 2010!! 45 days for snap; 70 days for dry. A very early bush bean, originally from Beauce Country (Comte Beauce) in Quebec. As with many Quebec heirlooms, it is an excellent short-season variety, producing prodigious amounts of beautiful, straight, green beans dashed with purple early in the season. Leave some on the bushes to dry and you have an attractive dry bean that is a deep tan colour with burgandy flecks. This bean has produced well for us in cool, wet conditions.
NEW FOR 2010!! 70 days. This Mexican heirloom tomatillo still grows wild in Mexico. The small-medium sized fruits are a beautiful green blushed with purple. They will keep for several weeks after picking and are great for salsa.
NEW FOR 2010!! Pure white round roots are mildly-hot and not too pungent. Although best when 2-3" in diameter, they resist getting pithy at larger sizes.
NEW FOR 2010!! 1882. 85 days. Indeterminate. Tomato afficionados love this tomato. William Woys Weaver, legendary heirloom vegetable expert, said of it "of all the white varieties, only one stands out as truly special" and Carolyn Male considered it the best-tasting white. After growing it, I would agree. Introduced in 1882 by Livingstone, this plant is a prolific producer of large, white beefsteak-type tomatoes that are sweet and juicy. Try making a delicious white pasta sauce with it.
