Minnesota Gardening

looking for some specific seeds

17 years ago

In an old Northern Gardener mag, they recommended Jubilation watermelon

Kestrel beets

Papaya Pear summer squash

Medalist cuc

Roc'dor' wax bean

Siam queen basil

Does anyone have these seeds or know of a source?

I check at every nursery and store, but can't find these.

Pine Tree Garden Seeds www.superseeds.com has some of those. I have ordered from them for 2 years and have been happy with their seeds.

I got Siam Garden Thai Basil seeds at Whole Foods. I'll email you separately to see if you want some.

I planted regular basil, Thai basil, and purple basil this spring. They all look great, except that I harvested the purple basil seeds myself last fall and most of them (5/6) are coming up green. I should have known they wouldn't come true to type. An interesting genetics lesson.
