Also known as Orca drying bean. This unusual bi-coloured Mexican heirloom has a creamy texture when cooked, and it looks great on the plate. The plants are relatively compact bushes, growing to only 45cm (18”) tall. The beans are easy to grow and fun to harvest. Plant some Calypso bean seeds in the organic vegetable garden and enjoy the dried beans in soups and stews all winter long. The open pollinated seeds are easy to harvest and dry for planting the following year.
Medusa was bred to have the appearance and flavour of heirloom tomatoes but with reduced cracking and cat-facing. Vigorous vines with good disease resistance produce large, juicy, 340g (12 oz) purple tomatoes with green shoulders. Expect a complex sweet/savoury flavour plus a hint of smokiness that black heirloom tomatoes are famous for. Medusa also boasts high resistance to Verticillium Wilt and intermediate resistance to Root Knot Nematodes and Late Blight.
