Seeds Galore!

More Seeds arrived today!
My preference is for Heirloom and Open Pollinated Seeds.

Received from Seed Savers Exchange  http://www.seedsavers.org/
Nyagous Tomato - a black tomato
Sweet Mace - a favorite of Southwestern Chefs
Musquee de Provence Pumpkins - a heirloom from France - if the picture is accurate the colors will be especially impressive come Halloween.
Zebrune Shallots - is there more to say? If you have not tried shallots in your cooking I highly recommend you do.
Oaxacan Green Dent Corn - Mesa Man has not attempted Corn since the early 1980's in another Western State when he grew it with another seed crop.   This corn is for grinding into flour to make tortillas.  One of the three sisters.

Received from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds  http://rareseeds.com/
Rich Sweetness Melon - sure to be a hit with the squirrels, like the Tigger Melons last year. This melon is said to be sweet.  The Tigger Melon was beautiful, but rather bland.
Mexican Sour Gherkins - cucumber like.   Last year I did not plant these in a good place - this year I will.    
Atomic Red Carrot - the name says it all!
Parsley - Giant of Italy - a staple in my kitchen.
Melon Charentais - orange melon
Turkish Orange Eggplant - we will see!
Listada de Gandia Eggplant - poorly planted last year and was taken over by pumpkins; will plant better this year
Ferris Tomato - a pink tomato; the description was intriguing
Bonus Seeds - American Melon Ananas D'Amerique A Chair Verte - a green melon

Received from John Sheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds http://www.kitchengardenseeds.com/index.html
Broccoli - Purple Peacock - said to be an eat-it-all type of broccoli
Ashley Cucumbers - for slicing and salads
Petit Gris de Rennes Melon - called the champagne of melons!
Brown Mustard Seed - I cure my own corned beef each St. Patrick's Day - hopefully will have my own mustard seeds for 2014.

Received from Nichols Garden Nursery https://www.nicholsgardennursery.com/store/index.php
Indigo Rose Tomato - purple tomato
Bonus Seeds - Red Lettuce Salad Bowl

More to come.
