Welcome 2007
PayPal page
Nightmare Pepper sauce and Seeds for Tomatoes, Peppers, Squash and Sunflowers
To get to the Google site click any of the pics above
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 pics above take you to the Google pages, the pics below take you to the PayPal pages. International customers need to use the PayPal cart
as Google is erroring on international orders too.
Because I do get a better deal from Google if it works, I'm giving a better shipping rate and slightly better prices on some of the seeds if you use the Google cart.
I have a new page set up for all the tomato seed I saved this last year. I have some good deals on some rare or heirloon varieties. I will also be adding some watermelon seeds and lettuce seed pages as soon as I can.
I've gathered up all the eBay info that was spread over several pages and put it all together on a new page.
New for 2007, as I have the time, I will be listing about 40+ varieties of tomato seed that I saved myself this last year. I'm still working on a few of the germination tests, but so far, most of the seed has done remarkably well at 80+% germination.
Unfortunately for the locals that get plants from me, it doesn't look like we will be able to do pepper plants this coming spring. Our greenhouses still need to be repaired, but the big problem is the fact that I need some repair. I had knee surgery the end of Dec. and will have to be off my feet for a while. By the time I will be mobile enough to do greenhouse work, it will be a bit late to be starting peppers from seed. As tomatoes don't need as much time, I should still be able to do them, I hope.

I
took down most of the variety pages as they still need work.
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.
International users may experience a yellow warning message saying that I don't ship to your country when you get to the Google payment page. Mal's cart says it's Google's problem. Google says it's the cart's problem. Until I figure out what the problem is, see if it will let you pay anyway. If you have a Credit card that will pay in USD, you can pay and I do ship to Canada, UK and AU. Otherwise, send me an email and I will send you a Google or PayPal invoice.

The 06 seed season is over now. I
hope everyone has been having a good growing season. Ours here in
Wisconsin has been a bit trying. The weeds have grown great, but some
of the crops have been less than stellar. We had a rather late frost
for us, but the last growing month was awful. In August we couldn't
hardly get any rain when we needed it. Since Labor day, it hasn't
hardly stopped raining and we sure don't need it any more.
The tomatoes did pretty well and I have a decent amount of seed from some rare varieties.
Most of the peppers froze before there was anything on them or before what was there was mature. I'm getting some seeds from the little we picked, but I won't have anything to put in the freezer for the hot sauce.
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 almost 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. I hope to add a page for lettuce seed one of these days too when I have some time.
NEW -- 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.
This summer Google rolled out Checkout. I'm working on changing 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.

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 grow 8 - 12 acres of giant gray stripe sunflowers for bird seed. 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 for more than 15 years. 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 this summer. It's a small but very nice market. It's done for this year now. It will be changing locations next year as the place we were at will be Condos next year. I will post where it will be when I find out. Check us out if you're in the neighborhood next summer.
We start the season with tomato and pepper transplants -- about 100 varieties of tomatoes and 100 varieties of peppers.
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.
I'm not sure yet what we will be able to do as far as pepper and tomato transplants are concerned for spring of 07. 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.
