New Products for 2013  


NEW FOR 2013: FARM-ORIGINALS, HEIRLOOMS, AND COMMERCIAL STANDARDS

These are our New Additions for 2013, and as always they include our latest on-farm breeding refinements, and some good proven varieties that organic growers have found reliable and adaptive.

We have chosen not to seek PVP or other intellectual property protection for our original varieties. We have studied, argued, consulted, and meditated on the relative virtues and hazards of IP protection in the food sector of life. We've tried recently to contrive some variation on the use of Creative Commons 'Copyleft' or Open Source Software models to provide open forum use of crop genetics, without fear that corporate entities will Patent what others have freely offered. This turns out to be extremely complicated, completely untested in the courts, and fraught with real world differences between creative intellect, software code, and new seeds for food crops. To begin with, seeds are alive, and the rest is not.

Regardless, these new crop cultivars, their genetics, and the traits they express are freely offered to the Public Domain, and they are not intended for any kind of privatization or ownership by others, though others may use them in their breeding, farming, or garden-related enterprises. Wild Garden Seed appreciates recognition for its breeding work by those who use it.

Citrus Sherbert Mix Calendula

Farm Original Variety! A bright new mix of pastel orange and lemon doubled flowers, with petals of various lengths, widths, and shapes. This is our first calendula outside the 'Flashback Series,' and represents the diverse gene pool from which our next new varieties will arise.

Pokey Joe Cilantro

Pokey Joe Cilantro

This is reputed to be the best tasting cilantro out of an extensive trial by Gabe Cox at Groundworks Organics here in the Willamette Valley. Also said to have the best roots for the root-conscious markets. Brian Campbell of Uprising Seeds shared this with us for spring planting.

Gilfeathers Turnip

Gilfeather Turnip Rutabaga

'Gilfeather Turnip' leaves have the color and shape of rutabaga, with a good kale-like flavor. The root is shaped like a football rather than a sphere, lacks the purple top of both common turnips and rutabaga, has the color of a white turnip (as opposed to the yellowish flesh of common rutabaga), with a texture and flavor intermediate between the two. When cooked and mashed, the color and texture would mislead many to think of mashed potatoes. The flavor is mild, with less of the sulfurous taste that we associate with the Brassica family.

French Vanilla Quinoa

French Vanilla Quinoa

Farm Original Variety! Named for the appearance of the large seedheads that look like overloaded ice cream cones. Selected out of 'Brightest Brilliant', this new variety reaches 6-7' tall with little branching when spaced a foot apart in rows 16" apart. The large heads ripen uniformly, making harvest more straight-forward than in varieties with many large branches. Seeds are white or buff in color. We are still learning the growing range and traits of this variety. And BTW, 2013 has been declared Year of the Quinoa by the United Nations, noting its untapped crop potential.

Rubens Romaine Lettuce

A very a attractive semi-dwarf romaine, bright fruity-red wrapper leaves surround lime-green hearts of semi-savoyed leaves. Recommended to us by the Student Organic Farming Club at Oregon State University. This is for them! We used to sell this variety back in the 1990s when we used it in our salad business. A cross involving 'Rubens' and 'Valeria' in the 1990s created 'Hyper Red Rumple Wave', one of our most popular original varieties.

Pandero Lettuce

This is a deep-deep red 'Winter Density'-type mini-romaine with excellent downy mildew resistance. The purple-red color develops early and thoroughly in the high density head. With a single cut, these mini-head type romaines create instant salad mix. Thanks to Adaptive Seed for this terrific import to the US seed market.
Pricing and More Information


Red Flamingo Lettuce

Uniquely brilliant red savoyed leaves with an open romaine form. This is new to us from our friends at Adaptive Seeds, who report this lettuce comes from China, and has exceptional cold tolerance and salad green potential for late season lettuce.
