Nightmare Pepper sauce and Seeds for Tomatoes, Peppers, Squash and Sunflowers
Google site
The
Google pages have been updated for 09 with lots of new tomato seeds and
bulk packs. I haven't done the PayPal pages yet at all. I have also
recently found out that users on AOL have been unable to get either
cart to work out at all. AOL customers and International customers need to email me for a hand invoice.
Due
to a glitch between my cart and Google Checkout, I have had to set-up 2
carts depending on whether you want to check out and pay with your
credit cards on Google or if you want to use PayPal. This is a PITA but
the only way I could make it work until they figure out what the
problem is. The site as it is set-up right now will take you to Google
Checkout for payment. If you want to use PayPal, click here.
the pics above take you to the Google pages, the pics below take you to
the PayPal pages.
Not all of the pages are set-up with PayPal
and I will probably eventually eliminate PayPal as they have been a
PITB.

PayPal site
I've gathered up all the eBay info that was spread over several pages and put it all together on a new page.
Our
greenhouses still need to be repaired, but I'm doing my germination in
the house as shown on the greenhouse 06 page. I have a bunch of pepper
seed started already and will be working on tomatoes soon.
How to use Google Checkout on this site !!
I
am setting up a Mal's cart for use with Google
Checkout. So far I have all the main pages of the site converted. I
took down most of the variety pages as they still need work. Google
Checkout is a great way for you to use
your credit card to pay for the order. Google acts as the payment
processor for me.
For the moment I have some issues with PayPal and
want to use them as little as possible even tho they are an option in the cart.
AOL customers and International customers need to email me for a hand invoice.
Send me an email and I
will send you a Google or PayPal invoice.
If you would like to pay for an order with RME, here is a button that will allow you to pay me directly.
The 08 seed season is over now. I
hope everyone has been having a good growing season. Ours here in
Wisconsin has been awful, especially for tomatoes. The weeds have grown great, but some
of the crops have been less than stellar. In June, after the floods, July and Aug we couldn't
hardly get any rain when we needed it. Most of the tomatoes weren't good for the farmers markets, but have been OK for seeds.
We had a lot of leftover watermelons that I saved seed from. I already
germination tested them and they are at almost 100%. Because I don't
plant my melons far apart for saving seed, these will be "generic" red
and yellow seed packs. But they should produce some good melons. The watermelon page is up and ready for Google Checkout.
We still have plenty of seed for all of the varieties listed on
the other pages.
I'm not doing ANY selling on eBay
anymore. See the "Other Sales" page for more info about that.
Feel free to email me if you need info about anything.
Something new for 06 - Dried
Chile peppers in 2oz. bags. I have the
basic page up and will add descriptive pages as I get a chance. The
page for lettuce seed is up and has about 20 or so nice leaf and
speciality types of lettuce.
Shopping Mall
New as of the end of Oct. 06, my "friends" page is a now a mini
"shopping mall". There are over 100 links to other sellers that have
sites other than at eBay. There is also a Google search that will
search only those sites for you. It's still being tweeked a bit, but
hopefully you will find something unique from my friends. There are a lot of handcrafted items there too.
As a vegie farm Knapp's has been growing since 1976. Crops and
acreages vary from season to season, but we usually have from 20 to 45
acres in vegies. In addition to the vegies, we also grow about 1/2 acre or more of the
smaller
multi-flowering types for cut flowers.
We
sell all of our produce at local farmer's markets. We were
at the West
Allis, Wi. market for 20 years. We have also been at the The Dane Co.
Farmer's
Market since 1988. We are there almost
every Saturday from May to Nov. That market is better known as the
market
on the capitol square. I think it's the best market in the midwest, and
some
rank it only behind San Francisco's in the whole country. We also sell
at
the West Bend downtown market which is less than 5 miles from the farm.
I started selling at a Wed market in Brown Deer summer of 06. It's
a
small but very nice market. My hubby took over that market mid summer
07 when his job eliminated his whole dapartment. In 08 the Brown Deer
market moved to the parking lot of Lowes on Brown Deer Rd at about 6300
west.
I sell at the Wednesday Madison market and have a seasonal stall there. My 86 year old
mother has been helping me at both Madison markets. It has helped her
to 'get out of the house' and see people of all ages since her husband
died in the fall of 06.
We start the season with tomato -- about 100 + varieties of tomatoes.
One of our other specialties is our great Nightmare pepper sauce made from the chiles we grow.
Check the page "peppers as house plants" for info on growing peppers as
house plants. Most
people don't know that many peppers are really tender perennials in the
wild.
We had a lot of damage to
our greenhouses in some bad weather in the fall of 05. I had hoped to
get things rebuilt last summer, but my labor crew was rather erratic at
best, so nothing has been fixed so far. I will post the plant
lists around mid April.
New for 2006 are pages for alternate sites where we sell. There is life
beyond eBay. There are also pages for my friends from many of
those sites. Another page has links to helpful boards where you too can
get info about building a web site, selling on alternate sites, avoiding
being scammed and lots of other internet ecommerce necessities.
Also new for 2007 will be pages for some growing supplies. The
links are in the sidebar. I'm also going to have some tip pages and
pages about our farm and greenhouses.
Thanks for stopping by. Please check out the rest of my site.
The pages for Madison,
Friends, Boards, and Other Sales sites and dried chiles are now up. I
may tweak them a
bit, but at least a page is there. I have at least a blank page up for
all the main pages now. I still need to get a few of the variety pages
up. I updated the Sunflower pages.
Summer of 06 Google rolled out Checkout. I've changed my site
from PayPal buttons to Mal's Cart so it will work for Google
Checkout. I don't want to use PayPal due to some problems I'm having with eBay right now.
The web site has a new look as of Feb 06. I'm hoping to give it faster page loading where possible.
I'm trying to put many
of the graphics on their own pages.
As this takes quite a bit of time for someone that isn't a professional
at web sites, I am putting up the pages as they get done. For a while
that will also mean some links may not work because all of the pages
are not there yet. Please just keep checking back. If you need
something quick, please email me for more info.
Actually, a good web page seems to be a never ending project of updates.
I'm having a bit of a problem right now with my main email account. If
you get a "bounced" email message from my contact links, here is an
alternate email that should get thru to me.
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.
