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.
CERTIFIED ORGANIC. This parthenocarpic, early variety bears an abundance of 7-8cm (2.5-3 inch) fruit that are perfect for snacking. Mini-Me is a productive plant that performs well in the field as well as in greenhouses as it does not require pollination. The mini cucumbers are uniform with smooth skins and crisp, mildly sweet flesh. Harvest the cucumbers often so plants keep producing. An excellent choice to fill lunch boxes and crudités platters!
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.
