Or sase. About 20 tobacco seeds, virginia gold, greenwood dark and hungarian szasmosi.

I like the fact that they have reviews of the different varieties on their website with the reviewer's city and state. It helps to know what grew well (and tasted good) where. Also, I had wondered about the prairie dresses! I wondered if it was a religious thing. They reminded me of the dresses the women at the Warren Jeff compound wore. Interesting to know it's just a gimmick! I ordered quite a few seed packets from them this year because I had heard good things about them and liked the varieties they offered. Since this is my first time ordering from them, I don't know how they will do yet. I agree that the catalogue is beautiful, but heavy on anti-GMO articles.

Christie_SW_MO, How are you? Go for the Blacktail Mountain Watermelon. It is Amy Goldman's favorite for flavor and she should know, she wrote this book: Melons for the Passionate Grower, has been growing melons for years, and is great friends with Martha Stewart. She has appeared on Martha's show at least three times where she's shown melons and her garden. She has also spoken at Baker Creek, I saw her and her slides were amazing. Amy Goldman's Website. Here is a link that might be useful: Amy Goldman and Blacktail Watermelon

First of all, I had just placed a large order with Willhite for a lot of common veggies, so I really didn't need to buy a lot more things. It's my husband's fault...... Beans - Aquadulce (fava) My husband picked these and I am still unsure if I want to bother with this one. Dragon Tonque Contender Roma II bush Red Rice Bean Mayflower Missouri Wonder Pole Rattlesnake Pole Old Homestead Kentucky Wonder Pole Chinese Green Noodle Chinese Mosaic Thai White Seeded Long Corn Stowells Evergreen True Gold Yellow Hickory King Dent Peas Sugar Snap Oregon Sugar Pod II Alaska Wando Lincoln Pepper Quadrato d'Asti Rosso Purple Beauty Golden Marconi Quadrato D"Asti Giallo Colan Red Pimento Anaheim (which was free) Okra Clemson Spineless Thai Grandfather Kurtz Cowhorn (a small cowhorn, I think) Lettuce Red Romaine Lolla Rossa Squash Baby Blue Hubbard Golden Hubbard Jumbo Pink Banana Herbs Oregano Vulgare Catnip Thai Green Cucumber New Zealand Spinach Shanghai Green Pak Choy American Top Rutabaga Elephant Head Amaranth And then there are the tomatoes. I have tomatoes on hand plus I sent a list to Jay that he could choose from to send to me, and I didn't know what I would get from him, etc. Some I based on what I could remember that the Tomato Man's Daughter says are her top choices. So I bought: Carbon Black Krim Black Cherry Hawaiin Pinapple Cherokee Purple Dr Carolyn Sioux Tess's Land Race Now about that garlic.....I don't know. I bought it from a vendor and didn't ask what it was. She had several plates of garlic all cleaned and pretty on plates on her table which I was looking at. A man was trying to choose some and she told him if he was planting it she had some others (not cleaned) and if he wanted those she would throw in some extra. He chose the clean ones. After he left, I told her I wanted some to plant. She pulled out a big bunch and asked me how many I wanted. I said "I'll take what you have in your hand." She counted them and told me the price, then threw in two more. I didn't even think to ask what kind it was because I thought if she could grow it in the Ozarks, then I could grow it here. I asked her if she planted in Sept and harvested in June. She said, "Exactly". A younger lady in the same booth said, "We plant in September or October, and we harvest when it has 3 dead leaves." She also said that they use the small cloves and plant the large ones. I came home and separated all of the cloves. I picked about 4 dozen of the largest cloves and put the rest in a bowl to use in the kitchen. Now the kicker....I paid $4 for the whole thing. Back to the seeds...When we walked in they had a special price for over 25 packs. It was a great price, but I am not going to post it here because they don't post it on their website. Also, I don't know if it was an end of season thing or if this was routine. I thought it was an end of season special, but when I looked at my seeds they were a few mixed in that said for the 2010 season, so now I don't know. I am going back in about a month because one of my friends is having a "fit" because she didn't get to go. LOL We wanted to go back anyway, so taking her back gives us a good excuse. Besides that, I didn't even look at melons, and I've got to buy Collective Farm Women. LOL I admire this company for what they are doing, and for the success of Jere for starting a company when he was 17 and staying with it until it was a big success. On the other side of the coin, he is a bit over the top for my taste. LOL He was walking around the area dressed in a garb that wouldn't have even been considered stylish in the 70's, (but was that old) and was just downright ugly. I thought some of the outfits I had seen him photographed in were bad, but this was too much. Guess if you have money you can "have it your way", but gosh. Anyway, he has a nice place and it is drawing people in, so you have to consider that a success. Oh - and one more thing. They are not open on Saturday. My guess was that it could be their Sabbath, but I didn't ask. Another bonus of the trip was that we went through Seymore and saw three different Amish individuals and couples traveling in their buggy. It was Saturday night. I picked the tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and squash and a few other things, but I made the mistake of telling my DH that I wanted to be sure to look at beans. I didn't. He just went over and bought one of everything that was there...then he hit the peas and okra. He buys big.
