Info for Tomato Field Day


The field day was a reasonable success even tho we were rather disorganized. We are planing to do it again in 2010 on the last Sunday before the Labor Day weekend, 8/29/10.
 

Seed situation 2010

I'm still working on processing a few of the new-to-me Tomato varieties. I have about 100 new names on the New for 2010 tomato list. The are dried and germination tested. As it wasn't a good growing year for good tomatoes, I have a whole lot of cracked and otherwise less than perfect tomatoes out in the field. Right now I'm just saving seed from aprox 1 - 5 gal bucket of tomatoes. I generally get about 1.5 - 3 ounces of seed / bucket except from the Roma varieties.

If you are interested in buying seeds in bulk amounts of over 1 ounce, give me an email and lets talk about what I may be able to do for you.

Also let's talk if you might be interested in having me grow bulk seed for next year. I would need to know of your interest by March 2010 so I could start enough plants of your desired varieties.



The some of the tomato pages have been updated for 2010 with lots of new tomato seeds and bulk packs. I have also recently found out that some users on AOL have been unable to get the cart to work at all. AOL customers and International customers need to email me for a hand invoice.

The site as it is set-up right now will take you to Google Checkout for payment. If you want to use PayPal,email me for an invoice.



I've gathered up all the eBay info that was spread over several pages and put it all together on a new page.


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 since I can't aford the fees for a merchant account.

I have taken down the PayPal pages. If you want to use PayPal, just email me your order and I will send you a PayPal invoice.

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.






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.


 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.

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 sunflowers 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 department. 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 88 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 plants  --  200 + 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. We managed to get the frame for a small greenhouse ready for spring of 2010. Hopefully we will have another 1 or 2 ready before 2011.

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.


Thanks for stopping by. Please check out the rest of my site.



The pages for Madison, Friends, Boards, and Other Sales sites 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.

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.

Here is an alternate email if you have any problem with my main contact email.

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.
