SASE clean out phase 1.

7 years ago

So the last two years have seen a number of varieties trialed in my garden. Today begins the purge. Below is a list of stuff that either didn't make the cut for one reason or the other (reason included...but remember different soils, different locations, different exposure, different results), or in other case may be getting on in age and I'd like to see them go places before they drop off too far (also noted). These are SASE... but do keep your eyes peeled. I've had a pretty good harvest year so far so a trade list will be showing up soon.


Waltham 29 broccoli (2017 purchase, and there's a bunch left. Still rocking 95% germination this Spring though so its definitely good seed).


Danvers Half Long Carrots (2017 purchase, enough left to warrant sharing with a few folks. Good carrots. Again, good germination percentage this Spring...will be planting this back out for a Fall planting in the next week or so).


Golden California Wonder (2018 purchase, was less than impressed with fruit production in my garden though others have reported a decent crop. I think I'll try Quadrato next year).


Sweet Banana Pepper (2017 purchase, dropped 10 seeds in trays in March, planted 10 plants out in April this year, 100% germination. This was originally a mistake on my part. Wanted hot banana, grabbed sweet banana. I wanted to like them because WOW are they prolific producers...one that's still in the ground has 15 peppers on and I've already cleared that plant off twice this year... so I gave them a second shot this year. They taste like thin walled bell peppers and I already grow enough bells to cover my needs so out they go).


Cherry Belle Radish (2014 package recently given to me by a neighbor. They were protected from humidity/heat/light well enough he grew a pack from 2012 of the exact same ones this year with great results. Still, have NOT tested. We don't eat radishes but he said pass them along so here they are).


Sulfur Cosmos (2019 grow out and harvest. I've got something in the neighborhood of 2,500 seeds. Stopped counting at 1,000 and at least half were left and I'm still pulling seeds daily. I'll be offering these again on my trade list in larger quantities, but if you'd like 30-40 seeds, its not gonna make a dent. Pollinators LOVE these things).


That'll do for phase 1. Reply to this thread, then send me a message and we'll go from there.
