We have processed over 100 batches of seed but few are new varieties. Most were batches to replace varieties we were either low on seed or were getting older. We are still doing germination tests on many varieties. We still have stuff in the barn and out in the field to get processed.
The first 25 new varieties are on the 2012 page. Here are other varieties we hope will test out good --
Magnif Potentate (see LG page)
Wisconsin Chief (too low)
Gildo Pietroboni (see LG page)
Eh-Lim (see LG page)
Hoy
several Kozula varieties (some good, some LG)
Most of these later processed varieties are not germinating well. Look for them on the new Low Germinating page. Low Germinating varieties are seed that germinates in the 60 - 80 % range and I give you a double sized pack. My normal packs germinate 85% or better. Most are over 90%.
I will be putting all my varieties together on alphabetical pages instead of the yearly update pages. It should make it easier to find stuff. But it will take me time to get them al put together. The LG page is first for now.
Some of these we didn't get much seed at all so will only have sample packs available til we are able to grow more next year.
Due to the farm and market work, seed orders from July til Nov will not get priority in my 'to do' list. I just don't have the energy to keep up with orders and farm work. From Thanksgiving til April or May I usually get orders out in less than a week. But during summer, I may not be able to do much if any orders at all. I will try to take care of emergency orders if you give me a seperate email letting me know about it. I also want any mailed orders to go to a different address now as I've lost a couple of orders due to our 'out in the country' box here. Email me for the address.
The last 2 growing seasons have been dificult for me. The weather here, like much of the country, has been far from good for growing things other than a lot of weeds. Because of that and some greenhouse contamination in the spring of 2011 that killed a lot of seedlings, I may not have a whole lot of new-to-me varieties this year. We planted over 100 new varieties but lost quite a few.
We are still collecting and processing fruit and have hope of getting some more stuff before everything is junk. For some varieties we've had to collect fruit several times as the fruit set in July didn't produce much seed. Later sets have been better but obviously late. We have a whole lot of varieties that only have 'mature green' fruit that I hope will have at least some decent seed when processed.
I've had some health issues that have somewhat limited what I'm able to do at times. Farming is hard on the back and at times my mental health.
It hasn't helped that we've had 2 computer failures in the last 6 months. Computers can drive you crazy. The latest one was a new computer too. The month of Sept I had only sporadic ability to get on-line at all due to that meltdown. I have another new computer, but haven't had the time to get all my files and programs on it yet.
Enough of all my problems. Like all who have farming 'in their blood', there is always next year. Here is to a great growing season for all in 2012 !!

I have found out that some users on AOL have been unable to get the cart to work at all. AOL customers and some International customers MAY need to email me for a hand invoice.
The site as it is set-up right now will take you to PayPal for payment. If you want to use Google Checkout, email me for an invoice.
Feel free to email me if you need info about anything.
Thanks for stopping by. Please check out the rest of my site.
A good web page seems to be a never ending project of updates.

For anyone that 'harvests' either of these emails and sells them to 'mailing lists', you should know that I screen my emails and report spam to 'blacklist' sites instantly. So if you want to get blacklisted fast, just send me a junk email for the latest dating, meds or porn site. BTW, I'm a happily married white FEMALE, so I don't need your Russian bimbos or male enhancements either.
