Tomatoes, grown in the basement and greenhouse. I'm still a couple weeks away from planting tomatoes into the field.

Plants: Tomatoes, tomatillos, bell peppers, mullein, storage onions, walking onions, Swiss chard, etc.

Seeds: Locally adapted landraces.

Also garlic, flour corn, and flint corn. If there is time this evening, I might scrounge around for some herbs.

Joseph I think your stuff looks great. I came across your word "landrace" before and I suppose if I was more than an armchair enthusiast I would be familiar. Had to look it up, this guy really does a great job explaining it. http://garden.lofthouse.com/adaptivar-landrace.phtml

I'm taking a few dozen eggs and giving away a test run of our first value-added product, a rhubarb-based cocktail syrup.
