New Varieties for 1999:
Gardeners are looking for new plants every year. Here are new flowers and vegetables that will be featured in 1999 mail order seed catalogs, seed packets or as bedding plants at garden centers. The varieties are listed alphabetically by class, with the seed source listed in parentheses after the description. The designation ‘R’ means a retail seed company from which gardeners may purchase seed directly by mail order or also in stores that carry the variety in seed packets. A’W’ designation indicates a wholesale seed company which does not sell directly to home gardeners, but these varieties should be available in catalogs or as bedding plants at garden centers next spring.
What’s a Tomatillo?
Shortly after my move to Southern California from Pennsylvania, I encountered a first class salsa bar. Brightly colored canisters offered exotic hot peppers, fresh lemon slivers and three varieties of homemade salsa. The first salsa was filled with chunks of tomato and onion, the second gave an aroma of cilantro and the third was green!
The Heyser Way: Small Scale Fruit Production
I just picked up the ‘Small Scale Fruit Production’ guide published by Penn. State. Perusing it, I noticed it gives the good news and bad news of growing fruit. Good news- “exercise, enjoyment, a supply of delicious fruits, enhancement of the home landscape, and a truly educational experience. Bad news - “There are cultural requirements and pest problems to solve throughout the year.” Of course, they know that once you’ve paid $7.50 for their publication you’ve already weighed the merits of each and have decided to go for it.
