This is an incredible list. I was just taking a little quiet time earlier going through catalogs in preparation for next year. Are all of your choices heirloom? I am wanting to make the switch to all heirloom for seed saving purposes but I am not sure which varieties are good producers. I think a lot of it will be trial and error...so far Green Zebra does well for us and Mr Stripey and Big Rainbow do NOT. :)
All are not heirloom as I like the high productivity of some of the hibreeds. I have never saved tomato seeds, because they save so long and I need so few. I am still figuring out my favorites.
I save four vegetable varieties so far, one pepper (a cayenne), one bean (an unusual Chinese pole bean), my garlic (mostly Duganski)and sweet potatoes.
Would love to save cukes, but I think these cross-hybridize and I like to grow many varieties.
I am meaning to look into the sunflowers. I have some really nice varieties I would like to save if I can get them before the goldfinches.
What a list! Fantastic variety.
I didn't do a garden this year, because of various family health crises in the spring and a new job with a grueling schedule. I'm kicking myself, because it's been so hot, I know I could've grown some good melons. Next year, perhaps.
Would love to see some new pics of Skippy!
