Info for Tomato Field Day 

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.

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.
