Nest Egg Ornamental Gourd

Nest Egg Ornamental Gourd

The Gourd Ornamental Nest Egg, 'Cucurbita pepo var. ovifera', is very similar in size and shape to a hen's egg. The Nest Egg is used as a decorative egg in baskets and Easter arrangements. Arrange them in gourd bowl, paint as Easter eggs, or you can make a unique and useful tea ball. Gourds should be kept evenly moist and at the end of the season keep them on the dry side. Hard-shelled gourds should be kept in the garden as long as there is any life left in the vines.

The Cucumber Lemon, 'Cucumis satiovus', is a very good slicer or pickler. The Lemon cucumber is very sweet, crisp, easy to digest and looks just like a lemon. If you love cukes, eat these like an apple. Don't dismiss their unusual lemon-shaped cucumber variety as a simple oddity; the white flesh has excellent flavor, plants are somewhat drought tolerant, and they are a great slicer or pickler. Do not let cucumbers get too big because the vines stop producing if over mature cucumbers stay on the vine.
Burgess Winter Buttercup Squash Burgess Winter Buttercup Squash
The Squash Winter Burgess Buttercup, 'Cucurbita maxima', is arguably the best tasting and best flavored winter squash. The Burgess Buttercup Squash has very sweet, stringless, and fiberless flesh. Being a winter squash, it will store for several months. The 6 foot vines have flattened turban-shaped squash that are 5 to 8 inches in diameter and about 4 pounds in weight. They should be harvested when you can't dent the hard skin with your finger. Winter squash cannot be overripe, but can be under ripe.

Healthmaster Carrot Healthmaster Carrot
The Carrot Healthmaster, 'Daucus carota var staivus (hybrid)', is a new big hunk of carrot weighing in at around 1.5 pounds. It also contains 35% more vitamin A value than any Danvers carrot. This carrot will have a length of 10 inches and a crown of 3 inches and weigh more than a pound. The Healthmaster is resistant to growth cracks and has excellent flavor. The single most important factor in growing carrots is to have a deep, clod and rock free, well drained soil. A 50% peat moss mix with the soil is ideal. Even moisture is essential.
Oregon Sugar Pod Edible Pod Pea Oregon Sugar Pod Edible Pod Pea
The Pea Snow Oregon Sugar Pod ll, 'Pisum sativum', is a flat podded type pea that has great disease resistance and is tasty and stringless. This is one of those vegetables that tastes much better garden grown than from a store. The Oregon Sugar Pod ll produces a huge number of 4 inch tasty pods which are harvested and eaten when the pods are flat, before the seed forms. Snow peas should be harvested before the seeds start to form. Peas that are too mature will cause the plant to stop producing.
