Bean - Cherokee Trail of Tears - 42RW3
DetailsBetween 1838 and 1839 the Cherokee people of the United States were forced to march across the Smoky Mountains to Oklahoma. This winter death march is known as the Trail of Tears as over 4,000 people died making the trip.
In 1977 a member of Seed Savers Exchange named Dr. John Wyche from Hugo, Oklahoma, USA donated seeds to there collection. It is thought that his Cherokee ancestors carried this heirloom bean with them on the Trail of Tears.
Beans were domesticated in the Americas thousands of years ago and serve as a protein in the diet of humans and animals.Growing this bean takes about 55 days to produce a purple podded green bean and 90 days to dry beans.

Broad Bean - El Beano -138NS8
Details Pure white flowers. The pods enclose beans that are SWEET, and which remain GREEN once cooked. Try raw.

In colder parts of the South Island and Inland North Island you don't want to sow broad beans between March and and early May if plants are over 10cm tall, heavy frosts will damage or kill. Plants under this size handle frosts well.

Gooseberry - Farmers Glory - 59RT33
Details This Gooseberry grows oval green shaped fruit 3-5 cm tall, 2-4 cm wide. If ripened in direct sun, they gain a level of reddish blush and develop a strong ripe flavour indicative of the sun ripening. If ripened out of the sun, perhaps sheltered by surrounding unmown grass can retain the green colour, and a less overpowering flavour that has a purer gooseberry experience. These seeds are saved from WHATEVER VARIETY and can be germinated into individual plants without the need to order in lots of potentially expensive grafted individual plants. These seeds are promiscuously crossed with whatever the pollinating insects bring them, and while they will likely produce a standard gooseberry, there is a chance you'll end up with something unique.Botanical name Ribes uva-crispaPrice per packet $4.00Packet contents 30 seedsGrower name Richard Tew

La Ratte X TPS - 129RW73A
Details After having a bad strike from this seed its been put on hold and fresh seed will be taken during the 2019/2020 growing season, this new seed will be germinate tested to see if its worth putting it back up again.The tubers were donated by Julian Twiss who lives in a district prone to the pest insect psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli, In Julian's garden he had had a corner that became overgrown, that in previous years had grown a large number of varieties, it was only a TPS clone that was able to handle growing in what is a swamp corner in winter, bone dry in summer, in long grass and having to battle psyllid attack.
For those potato growers who live in high psyllid numbers areas, you maybe interested in growing La Ratte X from TPS?, the aim would be to select for seedlings that show some degree of tolerance, by saving those tubers next step is growing your own TPS again and grow another generation and so on, the idea is by selecting the most tolerant in each generation, the number of seedlings with that trait will increase.
You never know, someone may develop a variety that could become quite valuable.
Price for this seed is lower because germination rates are lower

Maize - Sola - 79NS76A
Details The maize Sola is the name given to it by Nev, is was derived from an old maize that was commercially available back in the early 1970s when he first began growing it. Both Sue and Nev have a long history together, as plant and grower. It has changed during that lengthy association and now looks as if the sun is shining out of it. They use it principally in ground form for making what we regard as a very sustaining porridge (cooked with milk); rich and filling. Customers have also used it to create polenta and it seems to perform well used this way.Although the seed from which the original crop was grown from was possibly a hybrid (even back then) it is no longer so, and reliably produces consistent crops.Botanical name Zea maysPrice per packet $4.00Packet contents 50Grower name Nev and Sue Sinclair

Nev's TPS - 136NS78B
Details You won't have met many people who have propagated potatoes by any other than vegetative means; in other words from tubers from the previous crop. You may have noticed though, that some potato plants produce flowers. Still fewer of these plants go on to develop and mature small greenish fruits. They look tomato-like and contain a stiff "pulp" holding many small white seeds. These seeds can be encouraged to germinate and with some care will grow into small plants that are easily recognised as miniature potato plants.Even from a relatively early stage when they may only be 100mms tall, differences will be discernible between these individuals. They truly are individuals. They may not all prosper. They will each possess their own degree of disease resistance and vigour. As a propagator you will be rewarded, by those that flourish, with crops of distinctly unique potato tubers; diverse in both form, colour, flavour, texture, maturity and keeping qualities. This is a pursuit I have been involved in for at least 20 years. It is an exciting enterprise (if you are a potato Nerd!), and can result in the coming into being of very worthwhile, totally new, delicious cultivars that you can then continue into the future via the usual system of growing from tubers. But don't forget to keep seed from the best of them and continue the exploration of potatoes from true seed.Botanical name Solanum tuberosumPrice per packet $4.00Packet contents 20Grower name Nev and Sue Sinclair
