Territorial has some interesting new varieties. They have a new chard called 'Electric Neon' and a variegated kale. Also, a new variety of leek, 'Megaton,' that holds well through the summer without bulbing or flowering. They have a carrot called 'Romance' which looks nice, as well as 'Purple Sun,' with very high anthocyanin. I may have to try that one.
Johnny's has a new green bean, 'Cosmos,' that looks promising, although 'Provider' is a little earlier as well as dark-seeded, which means it germinates better in cool soil. I was glad to see that both Johnny's and Territorial have 'Cylindra' beet, which is my favorite but has been hard to find recently.
I'm considering growing some dry beans this year, and Vermont Bean Seed Company has a dazzling array to chose from. I like the ones called 'Money,' 'Jacob's Cattle,' and 'Calypso.' And I have to try 'Peregion,' an Oregon heirloom. It looks amazing.
And then there are the tomatoes. I think this year I'll have to buy plants, since we won't be home from our trip until the middle of April. But wait 'til next year. I'm definitely going to grow 'Pink Berkeley Tie-Dye.'
